We really appreciate everyone's patience as we are figuring out how to proceed with our existing website and this newsletter. We know that it is confusing trying to figure out what is happening in Cortez, and what is happening in Farmington. We are definitely working on this. Please stop by or call either store (or both) with any questions - we are always just a phone call away! Cortez: 970-565-7541

ART QUILT SHOW
FARMINGTON MUSEUM
|
Life Along the Rio GrandeAugust 31 - January 4 Monday - Saturday 8:00am - 5:00pmLife Along the Rio Grande, an exhibit of contemporary fiber art presented by Studio Art Quilt Associates of New Mexico, was conceived as an opportunity for artists along the river's route to express their feelings and thoughts about whatever aspect of the river sparked their creativity. The response ranged from representational to abstract, including historical, scientific and geographical references, all while working within given size parameters. A wide variety of techniques was used, from traditional piecing, hand stitching, and applique, to the newest synthetics and non-woven fabrics. The finest silk was used in some of the pieces, others had hand-dyed cottons, commercial prints and found objects which demonstrate the huge range of fiber materials that can be combined in today's art quilt. For more info call the Farmington Museum at (505) 599-1174. or click here for more info. |
Check back here in January for pictures of our new collections. (Or come into the store to see it first hand!) |
