Issue Preview
Campus Connection
Kalila Jones’s journey into the world of fiber art started at a young age, heavily influenced by her great grandmother. A shift in focus at university led her to the unique wearable art we see in this issue. Read her story in our Campus column.
Featured Artist
Featured artist Linda Kamille Schmidt combines brightly colored fabrics to create “veils of color.” Schmidt merges carefully selected fabrics in a variety of weights and types and layers them, embracing any imperfections as part of the effect of the work.
Art Business
A carload of cloth meant for Kathryn Greenwood Swanson’s own projects morphed into a business. Check out “Unfolding a Vision” in our Business column, and read about the birth of The Stash House, a place that makes sure no one goes away without whatever they need for their project.
Excellence In Quilts III
Sue Benner, juror for our Excellence In Quilts III exhibit, selected works that pulled her in, innovative works that were compelling. These quilts have a strong narrative. Many speak to social issues, and all display a variety of techniques and materials. You won’t be disappointed.
Featured Artist
Featured artist Kira Dominguez Hultgren is a storyteller who tells her stories through weaving. Using a wide range of fibers and materials, she creates a metaphor for the mixing and reframing of cultures and personal history. Be sure to read “Unravelling and Reweaving a Story.”
