Earlier this month I spent an inspiring few days with fellow members of the Fibre Art Network (FAN) at our annual retreat.\u00a0 This year, it was held at the Edenvale Retreat Centre near Abbotsford BC.\u00a0\u00a0 We spent five days sharing our work and inspiration with each other, shopping, touring local galleries, walking in the woods, eating, drinking and talking.\u00a0 It was an opportunity to re-connect with old friends, and to make new ones.\u00a0 We shared information, talked about our progress as artists, and made plans for new group exhibitions.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights is the art exchange.\u00a0 We each made a small piece, which we displayed then exchanged.\u00a0 The theme this year was Reap What You Sow.\u00a0 Apparently, I didn’t take a photo of my finished piece!\u00a0 But I can show you the quilt I came home with – this beautiful mixed media piece in my favorite colors –\u00a0 made by Alison Cowitz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FAN’s Abstracted exhibit<\/a> was showing at the ACT Gallery<\/a> in Maple Ridge.\u00a0 Here I am with my quilt Solitude, and the abstracted version made by my sister Anne.<\/p>\n

We also visited the Centennial Museum<\/a> in Fort Langley, where our Canadiana exhibit<\/a> is showing.\u00a0 Here I am with my Air of Elegance quilt.<\/p>\n

It was a wonderful five days, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s retreat in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
