Seen at PIQF 2016 - Southern California and Southern Nevada Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) members interpret the theme "Oasis." From near or afar, the uniform size of the quilts will invite the viewer in to see each member's own idea of what their "Oasis" is. The exhibit was juried by Jamie Fingal (Show 1702: Rebel with a Cause) and Leslie Tucker Jenison (Show 1510: Screen-Printing Serendipity).

The quilting world is filled with a variety of styles and genres much like the art world in general. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is why I enjoy quilt shows where the different styles are displayed. I tend to travel between the primitive and happy quilts, lol. If it is hand work, I most likely have a project started...from Appliqué to Sashiko! ...Well, I could say A - Z...Appliqué to Zantangles! But occasionally I come across a show that stops me in my tracks and invites me into a quilting world outside my realm.
October's group Gallery Exhibit was presented by the Central Oregon Studio Art Quilt Associates. A local chapter of SAQA, an international non-profit organization which supports art quilters. This genre is amazing and I am in awe of the talent and ability of these quilters to create art pieces from their vision.
Enjoy the slide show and dream...
