Well, it's been a few months since our last post. Hope you've been having a productive start to the new year! Here at PGFiber2Art we are pleased to share 2 opportunities to visit quilt exhibits if you are local to the DC area or just traveling through. First is quilts Inspired by the Nation's Capital, an exhibit and accompanying book by Donna DeSoto that is now on display at the Barns of Rose Hill in Berryville, VA through April 27,
Sue's quilt of Gunston Hall is part of the exhibit and she was excited to see it along with the other quilts that are so much more impressive when seen in person as opposed to photos. There are so many details and textures that simply are not picked up by a camera.
All the quilts are excellent but here are a few other favorites.
Smithsonian: Mary Livingston Ripley Garden by Diane Herbort
Lorton Reformatory by Etta McFarland
US Capitol by Miki Willa and Wahington Monument by Susan Bynum
Riverbend Park by Anna Wilard
National Mall Area by Barbara Kauffman
The book showing all the quilts also serves as a tour guide for Washington, DC and is available from Schiffer Publishing and also on Amazon.
The second exhibit is called Sew to Speak by SAQA Regional groups (Studio Art Quilt Associates) on display at BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown, Md through April 21. In this exhibit, 32 fiber artists from the Mid-Atlantic area show how they express themselves in their textile art. Sue also has a piece in this exhibit.
Untold Stories is a tribute to her father's World War II service.
My Mother has Alzheimer's. These last five years. is by Carly Mul.
Winter is by Sarah Entsminger
Sailing Under Watchful Eyes is by Suzette Coppage
The catalog cover features Anxiety No. 12/Traumatic brain injury by Judy Kirpich. The catalog is available on Amazon.
Take some time during the warming spring days to visit either or both of these exhibits!
