Sacramento Skyline Quilt in the Crocker Art Museum

Lori Wisheropp has secured another placement for our Sacramento Skyline Quilt at the Crocker Art Museum

Our quilt was accepted because it was created by our neighborhood circle, Pins & Needles, and depicts the region.

Abstracts in Fiber and Paint

I apologize for the wonky pictures, as it was very crowded (a good thing), but it was difficult to get a good angle. So many people enjoying the work. 

The Gallery at 48 Natoma Abstracts in Fiber and Paint Show

An amazing showing of what can be done with fiber and thread and embellishments.  The main gallery held works by Joan Dyer. 

The Community Gallery displayed works from Quartz and members of the Folsom Quilt and Fiber Guild. Several pieces are by our own Pins and Needles Art Quilting group.

White Lines

A great challenge. Create a six-inch black square with only one white line, the line must start and end on an edge. We had great fun linking them up as a continuous line. 

These were displayed at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center Gallery as an interactive work. Viewers were encouraged to move the squares on the display board.
