The Mendocino Quilt Artists will be hosting an evening of Art Quilt Explorations on January 6, 2011, at the Grace Hudson Museum, Ukiah. Quilt artists in our area are invited to come and share work, ideas and/or techniques. We're hoping for people with innovative, unique and out-of-the-box ways that express their artistic vision in quilts. Since we are a small group, we are hoping this will be a venue for us to enlarge our connections with other artists working through the art quilt medium.
The evening will start at 6:30pm with the presentation of our quilt, Mendocino Woven Connections, to the Grace Hudson Museum. At 7:00 Ann Horton and Betty Lacy will begin the discussion and sharing of art quilts. Other art quilters are invited to bring one work to share. We hope this will be the beginning of more Art Quilt Explorations.
Mendocino Woven Connections was made by us, the Mendocino Quilt Artists as a tribute to our connections to other artists who have shared our love of this county. We were given permission by the Grace Hudson Museum to use images from some of Grace Hudson's work. Each of us worked on a panel, then all worked together to connect them and embellish them with hand stitching. We look forward to sharing this quilt and others made by members of our group and to seeing the work of other quilt artists from our area. If possible, send us an RSVP so we can give directions, plan for food, etc.
Please note I'm using the 1/6/11 date on this post so it stays first on our blog, but please scroll down and refer to older posts to see what we're doing.
Hope to see you at Art Quilt Explorations.

It's on my calendar. Can't wait.
Hi, I was just checking for Annie Beckett and Chris Smith, to make sure this event is still on -- looks like it's a go! How exciting! We're planning on coming over from Sea Ranch to attend. (Unfortunately, I left behind the quilt I'd have brought to show, and I hope that wasn't the "ticket" to get in.) We're going to need 2 beds, somewhere that allows my little dog (the one who visited our Leslie Carabas class) -- can you recommend a place? Looking forward to seeing you all and hoping the evening turns out as you envision it.
Just home from the fabulous evening at the Grace Hudson. The presentation was touching, but the highlight of the evening for me was the energy engendered by the group. I am hopeful now that there will be another Art Quilt Group, and ongoing larger group meetings. Thank-you for organizing this special evening.
