Work in Progress...

Well, who knew what the results would be when Bonnie suggested that the smARTies try a group panel project? For starters, it turned out that so many people were interested that we had to form two groups of seven. Then...into the details…and a lot of wondering about just what it was we had actually signed up for!

In each group, a colour way was determined; one neutrals only and the other incorporating blues, pinks and creams. Then, within each group, fabric swatches were exchanged so that there would be some continuity of colour throughout the group’s work. Bonnie and her husband, Scott, did the figuring and construction of the panel patterns…making each of the seven sections different in shape, but of approximately the same area…a big job.

And off home each of us went. There was no theme, no shared vision, just individual ideas of what might work into a shared space. Several months later, here we are showing each other our creations for the first time and being quite amazed that they actually will hang in a cohesive manner!

Our titles for both sets of panels: Earth, Wind, Fire.  Be sure to come out and view these quilts at the Orchard Valley Quilters Guild Show May 2 and 3.  (See the previous blog entry for more information about the show.)

Here we are at the first reveal -- March 17.  Only six more weeks until show time!  (Click on images to enlarge; use side arrows to navigate.)

Join us to celebrate our journey in the ARTistry of Fabric and Thread at our quilt show on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, 2015. 

Over the past ten years we have travelled far with new techniques and new machines giving quilters the opportunities to experiment with design and personal challenges of  "What If?"  Our journey has taken us from traditional quilts to fibre art, felting, silk fusion, thread painting, embroidery and more.  What a journey it has been! 

Celebrating the Artistry of Fabric and Thread will feature displays of traditional and modern quilts of all sizes, art pictures, wearable art and accessories, demonstrations, silent auction, raffle quilts, Merchant Mall, and a boutique where you might find that perfect Mother’s Day gift.  

Join the fun at the Okanagan Mission Hall and the adjacent Log Cabin on Saturday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Be sure to invite your friends.  Click below for a poster you can download and send along.
