QUILTOPIA 2011

I have been invited to celebrate my work at QUILTOPIA 2011 as featured artist! Quiltopia is an annual quilt festival that will inspire you to learn the joys of using textiles in a traditional and/or contemporary art form. It will take place September 30-Oct 2, 2011 at several venues in Salem.

I've made an easy to reference PDF of the scheduled events. You can print or download it here.

As a native of Salem, I am honored to show my artwork and quilted projects made from my own fabric designs and fabric art panels available at sisterhoodofquilters.com.

For more information on QUILTOPIA, contact Sylvia Dorney, at Greenbaum's Quilted Forest, phone: (503) 363-7973 or email: Sylvia@quiltedforest.com.

I have designed a quilted wall banner especially for the show (shown at right) in my watercolor style highlighting Mt. Hood. Quick and easy, the wall banner is made with 2.5" strips in a log cabin style. Finished size is 16.5" x 53." The individual fabric art panels are also available for purchase.

I will also be lecturing on "How Artwork Becomes Fabric" on Friday, September 30, 2011, at the Willamette Heritage Center as a part of QUILTOPIA At the Mill.

If you are in the Salem area, please stop by and say, "HI".
