Security Blankets


I haven't posted for a while. I'm working on a series of fiber pieces that I call Security Blankets. I have saved all the tag ends of my sewing table. The texture is so wonderful and deeply rich. The project has produced 2 so far and I am working on the 3rd piece. I know that almost no one is reading this blog, which makes it even better. I am thinking of it as a journal instead. I have a few blogs that I read on a regular basis and the advise from these people is to just write every day. Forget content, forget the world, just get your ideas down.

Tonight I am making my first entry into exhibiting in the Fiber Arts world. I have been accepted into a show called Frontiers at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum. I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I feel so absolutely humble. The other quilt artists are so good and have been around for years and years. So...I am jumping into the fire.

I have found that the community of women making up the bulk of the Fiber Art World is a pretty awesome group. I have had such encouragement and positive feedback that it has allowed me to move forward with a swift learning curve.

  1. Ruth-I saw your art quilt in the Frontiers book. It is wonderful, one of my favorites in the show! I'm so glad you took the leap to enter the show - congratulations! I look forward to meeting you at an upcoming FRCQ meeting one day.
