BEAUTY IN IMPERFECTION
2008 - 2009
QUILTS ON THE WALL: Fiber Artists challenged themselves in 2007 to create a personal view of the idea of finding beauty in the most imperfect circumstances. The resulting 30 piece collection of quilt art represents each member’s interpretation of the “Beauty in Imperfection” theme, and whether it be weeds in a garden, feelings in a relationship, life choices with their inherent flaws, each piece allows you to see how a sense of beauty is found in all.

SLICE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
A member challenge in 2006
26 quilt collection (16"W x 45"L Vertical format)
Cruisin' around town with the top down, we Southern Californians love our Mediterranean climate. We bask in the sun poolside, beachside and lakeside. The deserts and mountains are our playgrounds. We celebrate diversity and draw together in adversity. We can star search heavenward or on the red carpet. Whether we were born and raised here or came from far away, Southern California is where we live. Take a minute to enjoy a slice.
