I had an e-mail today from Nancy Cook of North Carolina who commented on the Ruth McDowell "Rooster" I posted on Sunday night. Thanks, Nancy, comments are always welcome.
I have seen Nancy's work previously and went for another look on her blog, her website and the blog of a group she belongs to "Fiber Art Options". Very impressive work and some interesting ideas on ways to hang quilts in galleries which don't accommodate the slat-in-sleeve-system. Check them out at: http://www.nancygcook.com http://nancygcook.blogspot.com http://fiberartoptions.blogspot.com/ I also dipped into the personal websites of some of the other F.A.O. members. And I will go back again.
I am impressed by the exhibits that all of the members of Fiber Art Options are involved in. Their "Orchids: Sensuality Stitched" closed March 15th at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, NC. A great variety of styles and techniques with wonderful colors - there are pictures on the group site and individual sites that explain some of the techniques used. Also on their group site there are more ideas about how to hang quilts on hard walls without framing them.
I haven't done much "blog surfing" for the past few months because I have been swamped with things I needed to get done. Today while I was feeling lousy and coughing my head off was a perfect time to get caught up a bit. Tomorrow I plan to get well!.
