Dancing Threads Art Quilt Show at Porterville College

 These amazing local artists have created some beautiful quilted art pieces.

(Forgive my lousy photography.)

Visit the Porterville College Art Gallery to truly appreciate the art.

 

 

 I feel so honored to have them use fabric & other pretties from Calico Mermaid. Some have taught or attended classes at our shop & I am so excited to be a teensy little part of their creative process.

Not My Mother's Quilts Show Reception

Last Thursday we had a beautiful reception for the artists. The show is amazing. My photos aren't, so you really need to go see their work.
They have done some phenomenal pieces!
Here's a quick peek to give you an idea of what's in store. There are dimensionals, wearables, landscapes & just plain wild, imaginative works of fabric art.
