For this exhibit at IQA Houston 2015, exhibitors were offered the opportunity to create a small item using any technique, format, and materials they chose: knitting, stitching, quilting, felting, mixed-media, etc. The only requirement was that the result had to be an animal no taller than five inches. Thus, "In the Yarn Barn" was born. We have to admit, if we found some of these animals in our barn, we might be a bit surprised.
