SAQA Indiana meeting.

 Friday I had a pleasant day in Indianapolis at the

Indianapolis Museum of Art. The Indiana SAQA

met to discuss a show we will have at the IMA

in 2016 honoring the quilt life of Marie Webster.

"Dialogues: Contemporary Responses to Marie

Webster Quilts."

We had a great lunch meeting led by

Daren Pitts Redman and Kate Lenkowsky.

 It was nice to renew acquaintances with other

fiber artist from Indiana. We try to meet a couple

of times a year. Next meeting will be in

 Lafayette hosted by the FibR group.

 The meeting was very informative and

helped me gain some insight into what

I can create for this show.

Marie quilted with a pastel palette and

was a traditional quilter. She created patterns

for others to follow. You all know I cannot

follow a pattern and have not done pastels

YET.

Something new for me. A good stretch.

 Lively discussions were had by all.

 We finished up with a tour led by 

Niloo Paydar through the fashion exhibit

Cutting-edge Fashion: Recent Acquisitions.

 .Niloo Paydar is the IMA's curator of

Textiles and Fashion Arts.

I enjoyed how passionate Niloo Paydar was
about fashion and textile

and so knowledgeable about fashion through

the ages. Next post I will show you some

of the unique fashions.
