| Our last meeting In May |
| Wow!
It was interesting getting to Jennifer's in Santa Fe. It started to
snow (blizzard like) about 10 minutes south of Santa Fe. I almost turned
around, but then thought. "It's MAY. How can this continue?" By the
time the meeting started it was clearing and there were even spots of
sun on the the way home. We had 18 members and two guests despite the
weather. Thank you Jennifer for hosting the meeting despite your busy schedule (class the day before and leaving for Mexico the day after) You are wonderwoman! |
Our Next Meeting
|
Our next meeting will be July 18th
in Silver City in conjunction with the Silver City Fiber Arts Fiesta.
There will be more details in the next news letter. I hope you are
planning to come. We had a wonderful little get away last year. Silver
City is beautiful. Here is a link to find out more about the festival
and hotel information. http://www.
Please let me know ASAP if you plan to attend so we can plan our mini workshops for Saturday morning and the dinner for Friday
evening. So far we plan to have mini-workshops on "Writing an Artist
Statement". "Taking Photos 101 of Your Quilts" and "Using Photo Shop to
Resize Images". If you would like to help with any of these workshops
please let me know. They will be 20 minute workshops/discussions with
handouts.
Look for more details to follow in the next email.

I
have your pieces from "A Color Runs Through It". Please text me at
321-7847 if you would like to pick your piece up on a particular
day/time. I will let you know if I will be at my studio then. Mornings
are almost always good unless I'm teaching a class.
Seeds for SAQA/How Does Your Garden Grow will premiere at the Silver City Fiber Arts Festival July 17 & 18, and then travel to the Hubbard Museum in Ruidoso April '16.
Entries are due by July 1.
Message from Betty,
The entries for our seed packet show have been rolling in and they are looking great! Please don't wait until the last minute to send them in (which is July 1)- I have to order special printouts and mount each one on a custom board.
I've assembled a few below so you can see how they look- the whole display should be outstanding!
They
will premiere at the Silver City Fiber Arts Festival in July, then
travel on to Pennsylvania National in September, then the Hubbard Museum
next April.
There have been multiple entries for butterfly bush and clematis so far, so please try to think of something else if you haven't started yet.
Also,
I've been looking into getting cards printed of these that we could
sell as a fundraiser so try to get quality photos of your work.
The inspiration
for the Seeds show came from the Hudson Valley Seed Company, which has
been using artwork to illustrate their seed packets. http://www.seedlibrary.org/ar
They have a call for entry every spring- maybe your fiber art can be on one of their products!

| Future Call For Entries |
Save some time to enter something for our NEXT call, which will go out later in June and be due by OCTOBER-
It's called Natural Healing, and will feature any plants that are used in medicine.
The
size will be 20" wide by 30" high, and will premiere in Albuquerque at
the Unitarian Church in October, then move onto additional venues.
It is a SAQA showcase, and won't be juried.
