Full Spectrum Revisited

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and revisit a wonderful video from 2009.

Full-Spectrum, Natural Fibers, Quilts & the Textile Arts ran from September 10 through December 5, 2009 at the Binghamton University Art Museum. It featured three stunning Textile exhibits.

Learn about the development and exploration of natural fibers in the The Evolution of Natural Fibers. Vibrations: Color Resonance in Antique Quilts, 1860-1940 features quilts from the Pilgrim/Roy collection. While the Contemporary Quilt Show features the works of the quilting world's pioneers and leaders such as Ricky Tims, Alex Anderson, Paula Nadelstern, Joen Wolfram, Diane Gaudynski, and many, many more.

The video includes audio commentary by Marilyn Henrion, Sharyn Craig, Marilyn Bedford, and Judy Dales. A special thank you to Jack Braunstein for sharing this exhibit. For more information visit www.artmuseum.binghamton.edu.

The video can be seen in full screen by clicking the monitor button on the bottom right of the video frame (next to the sound button). You will have a visual and audio sampling of the some of the quilts.

If the Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles Exchange has caught your fancy, but you get overwhelmed when searching through the Forum for posts, here are some tips to help you:

When you go to THE FORUM (from the purple bar), click on "mark forums read" (at the upper right of screen), then the next time you access the forum, just click on "View New Posts" (at the upper left of the screen) and anything that has been posted since your last visit will appear at the top of the list.

If you want to keep track of a particular topic (like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Triangles Exchange), you can either make a comment on that topic to be automatically included, or you can scroll to the bottom of the posts and select the box that says "subscribe topic".

When you check for new posts, if there is a small red icon just to the left of the topic, just click on that icon and it will take you directly to the first post that has been posted since you last checked it, so you don't have to scroll through all of the posts looking for the new ones.
