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.
