Bits and pieces of news . . .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Fibre Art Network<\/a> (FAN) annual networking retreat<\/strong> was held last week in Winnipeg.\u00a0 We spent four 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.\u00a0 We had a couple of workshops to get our creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n

The first was Art Journaling with Heidi Hunter of Runs with Scissors<\/a>.\u00a0 We each received a Sharpie and a sketchbook, and Heidi took us through some fun drawing exercises.\u00a0 Here are my sketches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also had a Zentangles workshop taught by Carol of Tangled Inklings<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 We each got a 4 x 4 inch card tile, and Carol took us step-by-step through the process of making Zentangle art.\u00a0 Here is my tile, and the tiles of all the participants – looks like a quilt!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The newest Fibre Art Network (FAN) exhibition<\/strong> Ekphrastic<\/a> opened at the La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum on October 5th.\u00a0 The Ekphastric exhibition is a unique showcase of the collective talents of Canadian poets and fibre artists.<\/p>\n

This Saturday, October 15th in the afternoon is the artists reception, and many of the artists (and hopefully some of the poets) will be there to speak about their work.\u00a0 I hope to go down, but it will depend on whether the approaching storm<\/a> is as fierce as is being predicted.<\/p>\n

You can see the poems and the fiber art here<\/a>.\u00a0 My piece is ‘The Edge of the Pond<\/em>‘.\u00a0 You can read about how I made it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The annual SAQA online auction<\/strong> is over.\u00a0 It was the most success auction in SAQA’s history, with more than 370 quilts sold, raising over $75,000!\u00a0 The money raised will help provide a world of opportunity and exposure for art quilts and the artists who create them!<\/p>\n

You can see all of the quilts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My contribution ‘Koi Pond<\/em>‘ was the prototype for ‘The Edge of the Pond<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

The Bloggers Quilt Festival is over<\/strong> and the winners<\/a> have been announced.\u00a0 I’m thrilled to say that one of my entries won a prize!\u00a0 ‘Eclipse<\/em><\/a>‘ won in the Mini quilt category. My prize is The\u00a0Quilter\u2019s Planner + a QP Mini from The Quilters Planner!<\/a><\/p>\n
