It was" love at first sight". "Sunday Afternoon in October" 69"by 84"..Phil Beaver's quilts are amazing to behold...As a barn and farm animals lover I was taken right in..Almost back to the little girl who was raised on a small farm..Everything is made from fabric...Such tiny pieces as even the animals eyes are small pieces of fabric..."Letters to Sylvia" 71" by 85"....another of his wonderful quilts...One thing I noticed about his quilts are the way they reach right into your heart..This one triggered a memory as a child. Our mother turkey had babies and for what ever reason one of the babies attached itself to a loving mother hen we had...She had no babies at the time...It was so cute watching her mother the baby turkey...God love that baby turkey's heart.....it always thought it was a chicken..:)
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
