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.

SAQA visit to Cedar RIdge Studio

 November 16th is the date set for the Indiana  SAQA artist

to visit my studio. I am looking forward to meeting

other artist from my state. If you want to know

more about SAQA and live close feel free to

come and visit the studio on Saturday the 16th

from 11 am to 3 pm I just ask that you let me know

so I can plan food. When there is an event at my

house people seem to come out of the woodwork,
( one Christmas open house all the 70 to 85 year olds
guys showed up to join us it was the best open house
we ever had I still remember them old guys visiting
with all of the ladies. Such a memory. )

Just want to make sure you are fed. Just e-mail

 mavs@netnitco.net and leave a message.
