Tobacco Road Juried into Judged Show-International Quilt Festival 2015

Connie Marie Fahrion's quilt, Tobacco Road (Fig. 1 and 2), can be seen at International Quilt Festival 2015, in Houston, Tx., October 28 - November 1, 2015.  The quilt was inspired by the book, Tobacco Road by Erskine Caldwell, although the quilt tells its own open-ended story and bears no resemblance to the actual book.  To read more about its creation, go to http://fiberspeak.blogspot.com.

Peas 'n Honey accepted by Dinner at Eight Artists

Linda Teddlie Minton's "Peas 'n Honey" (40" x 40") was accepted into the juried invitational exhibit, "Affinity" hosted by Jamie Fingal's and Leslie Tucker Jenison's Dinner at Eight Artists, for the 2015 International Quilt Festival.  The quilt demonstrates Linda's "Affinity" for humor in art, as reflected in a favorite old poem, "I eats my peas with honey, I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps 'em on my knife."
