Rare Birds

I am pleased to announce that Rare Birds received third place in the Art Whimsical category at the International Quilt Festival in Houston! The show runs this week Nov 3-6.

As part of a group that meets monthly to network, share and critique our work, I have learned so much from the talent and vision of these gifted quilt artists. Wanting to highlight the unique character of each one, I chose to depict our group as whimsical birds. From left to right we are:

Each bird has unique character:
Denise is drawn to native American art in her painted figurative quilts.
I like yellow and have a sewing background.
Annette loves purple and is a figurative painter.
Beth hosts our group, is an RN and cat lover.
Ann likes coneflowers, gingko leaves and her cat, Oreo.
Robbi is known for her brightly colored gear quilts.

That's the tip of the iceberg, but it gives you a peek at these rare birds. Google their names and you will learn much and be inspired on their websites.
