Helene ‘s masterful folk art inspired Fibre art work , ” Calgary Days”
, is a series based on her stay in Alberta where she worked as a
gardener. Beads, stitches, and a riot of colour reflect her life . Both
artists’ love of all things textile will shine through in this special
exhibit.
Anne’s exhibit, ” Worldly Influences” will be quilted pieces inspired by images, fabrics, and iconic patterns from around the world.
As accessible to our world increases by easy of travel and
communication influences creep in from all corners of the globe.
Migration and trade bring us textiles and designs that were once exotic
and have now become accepted major influences to fashion and home decor.
When we see them our minds still travel to the places of their origins
as the designs suggest their heritage. My needle and thread take me
there in spirit and have become my method of “arm chair travel”.

Adrienne’s exhibition, “Quilted Journeys” will be
a sampling of work from several of her books; from Hummingbirds, dogs,
and ducks to states and countries, and even outer space, the theme of
journey is evident. The books represented are, Quilt of States, The
Alphabet Atlas, Hummingbirds:Facts and Folklore from the Americas,
Quack, and The Last Will and Testament of a Very Distinguished Dog.
