Our latest challenge - the colors of a lorikeet - is now posted on the blog with the exception of Kirsty, who is in New Zealand and will post hers later. If you don’t know what color lorikeets are, you will want to check out the blog to find out and see how each of us interpreted the theme. http://twelveby12.blogspot.com/

We hope you can join us for the following exhibition:

The Packwood House Gallery and Museum, Lewisburg, Pa. will present the textile work of Paula Swett and Cathy Stechschulte, nationally recognized art quilters. The exhibit will highlight art quilts as an art form with an exploration of color, shape, line, movement and texture; the innovative work uses quilt traditions as a resource. Diversity is represented in subject matter, form, materials and surface design techniques. The Packwood House Museum holds a remarkable collection of antique quilts. With this exhibit, the museum invites quilt to meet art in contemporary terms.

Enriching the exhibit will be the addition of small works from the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) 20th Anniversary Trunk Show. These small quilts showcase the broad definition of an art quilt.

Opening reception for the exhibit: Saturday, October 30, 2010, 6 - 8 p.m.; Closing Date: November 13, 2010. The Packwood House Gallery and Museum is located at 15 North Water Street, Lewisburg, Pa. 17837 and is open Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. For more information: paula@magpienet.biz

With our appreciation,

Cathy Stechschulte and Paula Swett

Enjoy a walk through A Quilted Forest, an installation of original art quilts during the Oregon State Fair.

Art quilters from around Oregon were invited to create their impression of a tree in fiber. The vision of the exhibit is to have many Quilted Trees

hanging from the ceiling where visitors can walk among the art work as if they were walking though A Quilted Forest. Each piece is

approximately 20 inches wide x 8 feet tall. The imaginative artists have created visions of trees that are literal, figurative, inspired, interpretive

and stylized! Well known art quilters have work in the exhibit, Jean Wells Keenan, June Jaeger, Vivienne Moore, Maureen Erhardt & more.

Come to the Creative Living Department, in the Americraft Building at the Oregon State Fair and experience a stroll through this amazing forest of fabric and texture during regular Fair hours. The installation is sponsored by Greenbaum’s Quilted Forest, a 110-year-old, third generation, Salem family business.
