March 2011 Blog Entry

The Guild has been busy this month!  Thanks to Carole Staples for the amazing job she did with the "Fibers" show at the Kennedy Heights Art Center.  Nita Keeler was the first artist to speak at the lecture series for this month-long show. 

Robbie Porter won Best of Show for her quilt at the Quiltfest in Rising Sun, Indiana during February 2011:

During our meeting, Liz Marten taught a quick class on needle sculpting a cloth doll face:

Finally, we were surprised by Linda Berkemeier, Kathy Garnar and Nita Keeler's lovely "fairy gardens".  In fact, we enjoyed these pieces so much that we decided to make these our challenge projects for the November 2011 gallery show.  Everyone in the group is challenged to "build" their own vision of a fairy house - garden - or whatever you want to call it.  Please enjoy the images below:

Aren't they wonderful?  Please put on your thinking cap and see what YOU can develop for the November show.
