fiber fest quilt


Now that Fiber Fest in Santa Monica is over, I can show my "Peace in Bloom" quilt. It was part of the Quilts on the Wall exhibit there. I made the quilt for my friend Catherine. Part of my Peace series - can you tell???

Fiber Fest happens every year in mid-August. Besides quilts, they have knitting, spinning yarn, weaving, beads, etc. Lots of creative energy! It makes me want to try everything! The weirdest thing I saw there was a guy sitting with an angora rabbit on his lap. He was sitting in front of a spinning wheel, spinning yarn from the tufts that he was gently gathering from the rabbit's fur. No, he wasn't hurting the rabbit.
