CHANGE OF VENUE AND TIME FOR MARCH 21 SAQA NEW MEXICO REGIONAL MEETING (Note: as of 3/14/2020 the reception and March meeting are cancelled)
The next New Mexico SAQA Regional meeting is Saturday, March 21, 2020. The meeting will be held in conjunction with the opening of LIFE ALONG THE RIO GRANDE at the Hubbard Museum of the American West in Ruidoso Downs, NM. Since several members plan to attend the museum opening on March 20, the regional meeting will take place at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Mount in Ruidoso, from 9:00 am to 10:30 am. A light breakfast of pastries, coffee, tea and juice will be served.
We are asking members who plan to attend the meeting to email Lynn Rogers so that we can purchase an appropriate amount of food and beverages for everyone.

Next up is an exhibition of OUT OF THE BLUE at the Farmington Museum in Farmington, NM,
from April 4 to August 1, 2020. The 23 quilts curated into this exhibition have been collected. Thanks again to Kay Sutt and Julee Coffman for volunteering to deliver the quilts to Farmington. This is a lovely museum and worth the trip to see OUT OF THE BLUE while it is on display there.

SAQA NM CRITIQUE GROUP
The second Critique Group Online Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, April 18. So far we have one volunteer; we would like to have 2 more volunteers for this session. Critique discussions last about 15-20 minutes each and loosely follow Jane Dunnewold’s critique guidelines. You can find the guidelines at https://janedunnewold.com/
These online meetings are conducted using the ZOOM video conferencing tool. It’s an easy process to take part in. If you haven’t yet participated in a ZOOM meeting, you can learn more at the SAQA website by searching for ZOOM or going to http://www.saqa.com/members.
ALBUQUERQUE FIBER ARTS COUNCIL NEWS
Albuquerque Fiber Arts Council’s spring show will be held at the Albuquerque Garden Center on April 3 and 4, 2020. Char Punke and Beverly Tones are the SAQA representatives on the education committee that sponsors this show. Calls for Entry are available at www.fiberartsfiesta.org. This is a great opportunity to show smaller art quilts. It would be wonderful to have SAQA well-represented at this show. SAQA is a member organization so our members do not have to pay an entry fee.
It's not too soon to start thinking about the ABQ Fiber Arts Fiesta coming up in 2021. Bev Firth is the co-chair of the AFAF quilt committee. We are still looking for a volunteer to represent SAQA on the quilt committee. Please email Mary Jo Stipe if you can take on this role.
