Melody featured in Quilting Arts

 The latest issue of Quilting Arts Magazine (April/May 2013) has a wonderful feature article on Fiber Visions member Melody Randol.

The Artist Profile is a fascinating look into the process behind Melody's stunning nature-inspired landscapes as well as giving us a chance to get to know a little more about the artist herself.  If you haven't already obtained your copy of this issue, we urge you to waste no time in finding one so that you may enjoy reading about Melody and her art.

A link to Melody's website can also be found by clicking on her artwork in the right sidebar of this blog site.

Fantastic Fibers 2013

Both Mary McCauley and Linda Beach were recently accepted into Fantastic Fibers 2013.   The exhibition will open with a reception on April 6 from 5:00-7:00pm at the Yeiser Art Center in Paducah, Kentucky.

Linda Beach's Waiting Out Winter was accepted as well as Mary McCauley having an impressive total of three works accepted: Container Garden: Protea, Wisdom and Shards: Self Portrait as Pottery.   

Two of us are teaching at Asilomar!

Both Patty Hawkins and Louisa Smith will be teaching at Asilomar this spring.  If you've never been, the Empty Spools Seminars are held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on a gorgeous stretch of the California coast near Monterrey.

Patty will be teaching Collage the Essence! Landscapes & Haikus during Session III from March 26 - March 31.

Louisa will be teaching Double Visions: Curves and Circles That Create Wonderful Illusions during Session V from May 26 - May 31.

So think about treating yourself this year and taking one of their classes (if there are any spaces left) in this beautiful location.
