Orange County Fair "Fiber Artistry"

I went to the OC Fair on Sunday, the last day. While spending time at the Fiber Artistry exhibit with some of the other artists, some photos were taken. Here are some of them.

First of all, this is me by my "Happy Birthday 2 Me" quilt, which is appropriate because my bday is next week.

This is Annie by her colorful house quilt.

Jamie by her wonderful quilts. As featured quilter, she had several there. What a terrific exhibit it was - very professional. It was great to get so much exposure to all the OC Fair traffic.

So nice to see Julie there, by her beautiful quilt.

Stacy by one of her delightful quilts. This one sold!

Peggy by our collection of mixed media books. It was fun getting to see everyone's book again, and it got us to talking. We want to do another book challenge. Sounds like it'll be an altered book challenge next time.

Me and Stacy by the Carousel group project from a couple of years ago. She did the horse, I did the pink rabbit. Wish I'd been standing up straighter!

Many Quilts Out and About

Several of my quilts can be seen out and about locally. I will have two quilts and one mixed media book at "Fiber Artistry," the first ever Art Quilt exhibit at the Orange County Fair through mid-August. (more details in previous posts) "15 Selvedges" is one of them.

"Happy Birthday 2 Me!" is also at the Orange County Fair. I hear it's an outstanding exhibit, featuring works by Jamie Fingal and other Orange County fiber artists.

My mixed-media book, "Inner Children," is also there. I don't know yet what page it will be opened to - so many choices.

"Summertime Cat" is appearing at Soft Expressions Upstairs Gallery with the "Summer" exhibit. The address is 1230 North Jefferson Street, Suite M, Anaheim. Phone: 714-630-7414.

Last but not least, "It's Your Fault" will be in the special exhibit, "Beneath the Surface," at the Long Beach Quilt Festival. The dates are July 22 - 25.  This event is at the Long Beach Convention Center, 300 E. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach. More info at http://www.quilts.com/, and I'll be there for some of it. I'm excited!
