Not everything needs to be quilted? –right?

Although I love to quilt everything, sometimes people say they’re afraid to cut up hand dyed fabric. Although I’m a strong advocate for using your beautiful fabrics, and trust me your fabrics would rather be in a quilt than in your closet (they tell me this during my one on one dyeing time with them).  There are other options.

Here are two hand dyed fabrics from my landscape line simply wrapped around a stretcher. Just one of the many alternative options!  These will be available at the Powder Hollow Brewery event this Sunday.

What does a brewery have to do with fiber art you may ask? Well in this case, it’s the venue for my next Fiber Art Exhibit.

Powder Hollow Brewery http://www.powderhollowbrewery.com/ has graciously given me a spot to display and sell my art. This is a great pub where Powder Hollow Brewery offers Beer Flights (a sampling of their assorted brews) or a glass of your favorite.  I’ll be displaying some newer pieces and some pieces that have elected to live at my house for a while.   My art is primarily 100% made of textile and thread however I do have a few pieces that incorporate recycled materials, metals and other unusual items to combine with textile.

I hope you can stop in and say Hi, and sample the brews!!
