1 March 3, 2011 Hello Quilters, Margaret s delicate silk collages are hung! We have ourselves a quilt show, and you are all invited to stop by and take in the beauty of this mesmerizing art quilt exhibit. MARGARET ANDERSON Art Quilt Exhibit March 1 31, 2011 Stand still in the room for a moment and focus on one quilt. What do you see? The hand painted, silk pieces of Margaret s collages seem to float and gently move. As in all abstract art, Margaret s collages will carry you to a place filled with imaginary images or stir your emotions or perhaps trigger an old memory. As we hung one quilt this week, I suddenly remembered the ice cream truck pulling up front when I was a child and then holding a Big Stick popsicle in my hand. In my mind I could see all of its rainbow colors again and taste the coolness of it as it slowly melted in my hand. The power of art! I hope you can experience these art pieces for yourself and see where her works lead you.

5 Sedona in Bloom Opportunity Quilt 2011 Raffle tickets are available here at the Store. We are pleased to present in the Gallery A Quilter s Journey Quilt Show by EUNICE HILL April 5 through May 1, 2011 Eunice s original designs will take you on a journey of people and places. Her bag of techniques keeps the viewer wondering, How did she do that? You look at some quilts and subtly see paper-piecing in the sky or in the landscape s foreground. And, how does she get that stained-glass look or depth of perspective? Eunice comes to us with credentials, and we are honored to have her share her work with all of us. Eunice is a quilt pattern designer, educator, and AQS certified quilt appraiser. She is the recipient of state and national awards and was the 2004 Minnesota Quilter of the Year.
