Exhibition and High Tea/Best of the Web

I have two upcoming events to tell you about.

Later this month I will be taking part in a group exhibition with my fibre arts group (Out of the Box).   We are teaming up with the Kitchissippi United Church in Ottawa for a show and tea.   There will be a dessert tea on Friday evening, April 27 and a high tea on Saturday, April 28.   It all sounds yummy!  Fibre art and food together!   If you find yourself in the Ottawa area you might want to drop in to feed body and soul.  Please check out my Exhibitions page for details.

As well, I was approached last week to have my blog featured in a series called 'Best of the Web'.  This blog features a variety of interesting subjects from home decor to fibre art.    This week my blog is one of the featured blogs complete with a photo of my newly completed piece called 'Blueberry Magic'.   To check it out, go to    Be @ Home Decor Blog
                                                 

Prairie Sky Completed

My Prairie Sky piece is complete.  I posted a photo of this one as a work in progress a few weeks ago.  The sky is painted satin and I finished it pillowcase style without a binding - a first for me.  I am very happy with it.   Very appropriately, we are having a celebration of the Prairies in Ottawa right now with music, dance, theatre and art.    I have attended two events so far - a classical style choir called Camerata Nova, and an evening of prairie fiddlers.   Both were spectacular.   This week it is an evening of Women and Blues and Songs of a Prairie Girl which is a play about Joni Mitchell's life and music.

Also this weekend - May 6-8 - is the OVQG Show at the RA Centre in Ottawa.   Our Fiber Arts Group, Out of the Box, will have a booth at the show where we will be exhibiting the work of our members.  I submitted my 'Prairie Sky' piece and 'A Tree is Life'  for the exhibition.   Depending on available space, one or both will be exhibited.   I will be volunteering at the show on Saturday.    This means I get to see all the lovely quilts AND shop at the vendors' booths.    Fabric is like candy to a quilter so I need to be careful.   I am working on a new piece - a mermaid - and will be looking for some backing fabric......
