Nashville's Cheekwood Art & Gardens is thrilled to host the second-ever North American exhibition of Light, a stunning outdoor installation by acclaimed British artist Bruce Munro.
Using an inventive array of materials and hundreds of miles of glowing optic fiber, Munro has transformed Cheekwood's beautiful gardens into an enchanting, dream-like landscape.
This "electrifying" exhibit runs through November 10, 2013. See a few elements of the installation here.

It's that time of year when students of all ages begin gathering their supplies for the fall semester. Why not send your student(s) off in style with some very cool 'quilty' items? We're here to help: over the next few weeks, we'll share some school supplies that your student is sure to love.
This week's project, from Obsessive Crafting Disorder, is a fun-and-fast messenger bag that you can make in two sizes. While the larger size is great for a laptop or notebook, the smaller version makes for a pretty darn cute purse.

POLK COUNTY, FL - From WFLA.COM
Sometime on Monday, July 15, 2013, a postal package was dropped off at the front door of a Flatfish Drive residence in Davenport. Before the owner could collect it, the package and its contents were removed by an unknown person.
The packaged contained a handmade quilt made from mementos, photos and pieces of material taken from a decorated soldier's clothing who had been killed in Afghanistan in 2009.
The items used to create the quilt had been collected by the soldier's widow in hopes of keeping her husband's memory alive. The couple had been married for only seven months when the young bride learned of her husband's death. She collected wedding photos and pieces of his military uniforms and sent them to a contact in Wisconsin who had worked for months to carefully create the priceless quilt.
The suspect who took the package must have realized the contents would only be of value to the person it was delivered to and deputies believe the quilt may have been discarded.
Anyone with information about this crime is urged to contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 863.298.6200.

The quilt world gained a valuable asset when Grace Errea made the transition from high-level corporate executive to full-time textile artist, designer, author, and teacher. After sharing striking examples of her "value based" contemporary-realistic work, Grace shows and explains an eight-value fabric chart, oversees an impromptu workshop involving the studio audience, and reveals the materials and methods she uses to create and build the patterns for her quilts.
All this, plus Alex demos a lightweight, snuggly receiving blanket that features the surprising combination of flannel and voile.
