Connie Marie Fahrion's quilt, <i>Tobacco Road</i> (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.<br />

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."<br />

Last week, FiberVoices member<a href="http://fiberreflections.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Linda Teddlie Minton</a> presented her lecture, "You Mean I Can Mail This?" at the Baytown Area Quilt Guild in Baytown, Texas. The one-hour program included ideas and techniques for creating fiber-art postcards, as well as tips for mailing them through the Postal Service. A 4-page handout was included, so that guild members could begin their own postcard exchange groups.Linda Teddlie Mintonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05051700373576759351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950779621494926166.post-26088337037295120412013-09-18T10:26:00.001-05:002013-09-18T10:33:11.223-05:00FiberVoices featured in Quilting Arts<p><a href="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/quiltingarts/default.aspx" target="_blank"><img title="QA-Oct2013" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: right; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="QA-Oct2013" align="right" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf4Et0ePnoCqOLzQpMsfTlfecJ9ZinJbNBaT-knVIM-KHOQ29b-9kkC8lVrO_kf2OQ6F4W25Q5_zA7H0H1_Y3KJmT0yBlqebULwtevts628I209w9Xft8UDb8rz1GLkggg4llz1Df8e44/?imgmax=800" width="235" height="304"></a>Artist and writer <a href="http://www.fibraartysta.com/">Lynn Krawczyk</a> wrote about us this month (October/November 2013 issue 65) of <a href="http://www.interweavestore.com/quilting-arts-october-november-2013">Quilting Arts Magazine</a>.in her regular column, <em>Replenishing Your Creative Well</em>.

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Final Days of my Residency at The Houston Center for Contemporary Craft</span></span></h2>
<br />
My artists' residency ended August 31. I feel that this was the single best artistic experience I have ever had. In so many ways it allowed me to grow artistically and opened my eyes to the many wonderful things which are happening in the art world. I will always treasure that experience and I hope that the incoming artists for the 2013-2014 year have an equally good time!<br />
---------<br />
The final part of the residency was capped with the Resident show. Here is a portion of the blurb from the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft:<br />

IN RESIDENCE: WORK BY <br />2012 RESIDENT ARTISTS</h1>
<h3 class="subtitle">
August 2, 2013 — November 15, 2013 <br />In the Artist Hall</h3>
<blockquote>
<b>Opening Reception</b><br />
<b>Friday, August 2, 5:30 – 7:00 PM<br />
A few of the artists will discuss their work<br />
during an informal artist talk at 5:30 PM.<br />
</b></blockquote>
Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC) presents <i>In Residence</i>,
an exhibition of work created by the eight artists who began their
residencies at HCCC in 2012: Tarina Frank, Chanda Glendinning, Susan
Fletcher King, Jessica Kreutter, Susannah Mira, Jaydan Moore, Robert
Thomas Mullen, and Rachelle Vasquez.<br />
Each fall, the <i>In Residence</i> exhibition celebrates work by
resident artists, derived from or inspired by their residencies at HCCC.
This exhibition demonstrates the high level of creativity and skill
reflected in each resident artist’s work. While engaging the greater
world of contemporary craft, the HCCC <a href="http://www.crafthouston.org/artists/residents/">Artist Residency Program</a>
gives its selected resident artists a studio space within an
environment that encourages collaboration, experimentation, and a forum
in which to exchange ideas and receive advice from peers.<br />
<br />
------- <br />
<br />
At the opening, each of us (artists) had the opportunity to give a short talk about our work and the exhibit. This was really fun and we had a much larger crowd than anyone expected. It felt good to see so many turn out for the show and everyone seemed really interested in what each of us had to say. Good memories!<br />

This year’s Hoffman Challenge fabric “K7126_136G Peacock Gold” (Fig.1) inspired Nancy, who has been participating in this annual challenge for several years. She studied the fabric and decided that the round gold-outlined medallions resembled “coins” (Fig. 2). She then mentally created a scenario to guide her in the design process. Her resulting quilt, “Payment In Gold” (Fig. 3), captures a moment in time of a knight purchasing his prospective dinner of pheasants from a local huntsman.<br />
<br />
Nancy fussy cut the fabric’s leaves to make the huntsman’s forest cape, added the quiver strap across his chest, and spent time carefully hand cutting rows of “feathers” to achieve a believable visual narrative. For the knight, a richly embroidered tunic over chain mail establishes his ability to command a pouch full of gold coins.<br />
<br />
She had fun incorporating layers of a silver party fabric for the chain mail and using Razzle Dazzle thread for embroidery “bling” on the tunic. Special attention went into creating the appliquéd hands by first painting the fabric and then using thread painting for the final effect (Fig.4).<br />

<br />
In March, 2013, Connie, Linda and Nancy met at Connie's beach cabin and spent a few days painting fabric. They decided to do a group effort on three different pieces - a colored piece in spring colors, a black on white (flora theme), and white on black (fauna theme) (see <em>Fig</em>. 1 - Connie's fabric). The colored piece was painted first, with everyone moving around the work to cover the area. When finished, it was cut into 3 equal pieces and distributed among them. By the third work, white on black, they were all becoming "territorial" when it came to the section they knew would be theirs. Great fun was had by all.<br />
<br />
Connie was the first to cut into her new fabric. She decided to use the black on white as a background for a floral arrangement, the white on black as the container and dark leaves, and other painted fabric for the floral arrangement. Two commercial fabrics were used: brown/white circles and dark green floral greenery. Her work-in-progress photo shows a whole host of problems - overwhelming background, underwhelming floral arrangement, etc. (<em>Fig</em>. 2). A white Gesso wash and a little more life in the floral arrangement solved the problem (<em>Fig.</em> 3).<br />

A fabulous Artist's Brunch was held for us by Angela Allen and Julie
Maffei, art patrons and supporters of Texas artists, who just happen to
be sisters. It was held at the beautiful old <a href="http://festivalhill.org/campus-facilities/menke-house/" target="_blank">Menke House at Festival Hill.</a> I understand that Menke House is available for weddings and receptions, and if I ever wanted another wedding, that's where I'd have it!<br />

The gorgeous meal was served up by a very impressive chef whose name I neglected to write
down. He was roundly applauded for the outstanding brunch he served,
which included the tenderest brisket I've ever tasted, an exquisite <u>smoky</u> smoked salmon, and hand-churned ice cream.<br />

FiberVoices had our traditional Christmas meeting at Nancy's house, where we all enjoyed a fine lunch (her Rum Cake was only one of several delicious dishes) and great comradery. Nancy had decorated her house and tree with many of her own exquisite hand-crafted ornaments, as well as many that her mother had created. It was a treat to see and admire them. We enjoyed "show and tell" as well as a small-gift exchange. It was lovely to have a totally non-business meeting. After lunch we adjourned to Nancy's back patio to watch the deer and sip a little Spumante.<br />

Yes, both <a href="http://fiberreflections.blogspot.com/">Linda Minton</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=susanfletcherking&oq=susanfletcherking&aq=f&aqi=g-l1&aql=&gs_nf=1&gs">I</a> have been juried into the next<a href="http://dinnerateightartists.blogspot.com/"> Dinner @ 8</a> show - this one is called "Rituals" and the new size (24" x 60") was a challenge. I really like working with strong verticals or strong horizontal formats, but the idea that I had for this theme just didn't lend itself to the new size. So - back to the drawing board - or should I say - deisgn wall? I am pleased with my final results and so thrilled to once again be included in this show! And yes, we are thrilled that <a href="http://www.moores-sew.com/" title="http://www.moores-sew.com/">Moore's
Sewing Centers</a> at the Long Beach show, and <a href="http://www.havelssewing.com/" title="http://www.havelssewing.com/">Havel's
