First Moment by Gay Lasher
46.25" x 48.5"
Paper-backed cotton sheeting with Fabrisign II coating, Epson Ultrachrome Inks, warm and natural batting; polyester, cotton, rayon and monofilament thread.
Beginning July 26 and running through November 9, 2014 is the International TECHstyle Art Biennial 3 (ITAB) exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles.
The exhibition is returning for its third incarnation. It is a juried exhibition of work by artists merging fiber media with new information and communication technologies in their artistic processes, as a medium of artistic expression, and/or in the content of their work. This year jurors Louise Lemieux Bérubé, Patricia Malarcher, and Michael James brought their expert consideration and aesthetic to select work from a new pool of national and international entries.
As a part of their technical and artistic processes artists use techniques of digital jacquard weaving, digital printing, digital photography, manipulation of imagery using various computer programs, laser engraving, or computerized embroidery. As in previous years, some of the work is low tech while creating interesting themes and ideas about the technological world that we live in. ITAB showcases the tools of technology that allow artists to further their artistic visions as they explore the possibilities and inventions of textile art in the 21st century.
Thirty nine works are included by 36 artists from the United States, Canada, France, Hungary, Lithuania, New Zealand, and South Korea.

Gina Perkes received a new toy over the 4th of July Weekend. What would you do if this showed up on your doorstep? It's a brand new, Vision 2.0 by Gammill.
Star Members can watch Gina in Episode 308: Artistry on a Long arm where she shows Ricky a few Long arm tricks. Wonder what kind of tricks she'll learn with her Vision 2.0?

New at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY.
MasterPieces: Quilts of Inspiration
June 13 - September 9, 2014
Master Pieces: Quilts of Inspiration is made up of extraordinary quilts from many of the most respected contemporary quilters.The majority of these quiltmakers began making quilts in the 1980s. These quilts are examples of the innovators works of our time. They are quilter's works that push the boundaries of the question we all have, "what makes a quilt, a quilt?" Every art form needs forward thinker, those who ask, "What if...?"
The quilts gathered together in this exhibit reflect this attitude. The exhibit was created to honor Meredith Schroeder's induction into the Quilter's Hall of Fame, as she, too, believes in the possibilities of quiltmaking.
