On the Edge Logo Standing at the edge of the precipice, a precarious position, teetering between defeat or victory we feel both anxious and exhilarated. We must move forward, there is no turning back or staying on the edge. In Oregon, we live on the edge of a volcanic zone, an earthquake fault line, a tsunami zone, on the edge of the continent. Whether staring down from the top of a mountain or standing on a beach, we watch as the sun dips below the same horizon. We are all on the edge -- be it physically, geographically emotionally, philosophically, in personality, or in style. SAQA Oregon artists were invited to interpret either in a representational or abstract way a response to On the Edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553201123083-GH87JQMJMCJ9UNEL8W0Z/forwebfinalOnTheEdgeCoverPRINT.jpg On the Edge Saved - On the Edge Logo Standing at the edge of the precipice, a precarious position, teetering between defeat or victory we feel both anxious and exhilarated.

Allen 40” X 36” Techniques: Piecing, free motion quilting Materials: Artist ice-dyed cotton and linen fabric, commercial batik fabric, rice paper, cotton batting Artist Statement: Consider the vastness of the galaxy we in which we live! What lies beyond boundless space????…. I am awed by the order and chaos found in nature. There is unlimited beauty in the diversity of size, shape, color and energy. The life particles in space, for me, reflect the diversity found in life on this planet, Earth and it's people. Inspired by the "comets" resulting from my ice-dyeing process, the image of what happens at the edge of the galaxy came into focus. The fabric spoke to me demanding to swirl into creation of new life expressions.

What lies beyond boundless space????…. I am awed by the order and chaos found in nature. There is unlimited beauty in the diversity of size, shape, color and energy. The life particles in space, for me, reflect the diversity found in life on this planet, Earth and it's people. Inspired by the "comets" resulting from my ice-dyeing process, the image of what happens at the edge of the galaxy came into focus. The fabric spoke to me demanding to swirl into creation of new life expressions.

Materials: Deconstructive printed silk organza, shibori dyed cotton, commercial cotton, cotton batting and thread. Artist Statement: City on the Edge evolved from my experimentation with deconstructive printing on silk organza. I loved the way the shapes changed with each pull on the screen reminiscent of the shapes of water. Oregon's lakes, streams and rivers are the inspiration for much of my work. From the appliqué over and under laid on the organza came City on the Edge, Portland, along the Willamette River. I have always been taken with the skyline of the buildings along the river and the many bridges connecting one side to the other. City on the Edge is at dusk ; a favorite time when colors mute to dark blues and grey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285392975-Y406XD5M1N2RPU7FE8ED/gientke_BETTY_city-on-the-edge_DETAIL_66.jpg On the Edge Saved - City on the Edge (Detail) Artist: Betty Gientke 24” x 42” Techniques: Deconstructive/breakdown printing on silk organza, shibori dyed cotton, raw edge appliqué over and under the organza, machine quilting.

He suggested that along any edge there are places of encounter, where something meets something else and something happens. He described these encounters as fertile verges. And so, too, is an estuary a place of encounter, where fresh waters meet saltwater. I make contemporary stitched constructions using fabrics and fibers, especially silks, cottons, linens, wools and recycled items. In the various stages of assembly, I paint, stain or silkscreen these materials. Most work is representational, although often trending to more abstract and minimalist work. One constant is that almost everything begins with photography. For me, art serves as a means of mapping a life. And making things requires taking a closer, more careful look of the natural and the domestic environments, the edges along which I live. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285351212-78Q1O8H0HNFD2EB4O3QN/bass_SHARON-M-W_waterline-3-estuary_2NDDETAIL_65.jpg On the Edge Saved - Waterline #3 Estuary (Detail) Artist: Sharon M W Bass 30” x 42” Techniques: Raw-edge piecing and applique Materials: Cotton, silk, up-cycled quilts and denim Artist Statement: Daniel Boorstin, former Librarian of Congress, inspired my entry.

Before or after quilting, appliqué pieces were secured. Materials: Commercial fabrics, my own digital prints on cottons, linen, silk, cheesecloth, and rice paper. Artist Statement: Oregon itself is On the Edge. Most settlements along the coast are in danger because Oregon sits on the Pacific Rim's Ring of Fire. That means the area is subject to seismic activity – volcanoes and earthquakes – both of which can trigger tsunamis, creating Oregon as a Tsunami Zone.

It can be a jumping off point, a beginning, or the edge of no return. I thrive living in Central Oregon close to geological precipices. As an artist I push myself to the edge, the precipice, as I work. I chose to represent Edge as a boulder, or pebble...a Precipice, depending on your perspective.

At rest, this "interactive" quilt collapses into a bowl shape. Installed, the space it fills up varies with the pose. Materials: Commercial shot cottons, woven cottons, and cotton prints; fast2fuse®; cotton thread Artist Statement: "Configurations" is a symphony performed by an ensemble of contours, layers and textures. Variations play out as the edges curve and fold back on themselves, creating pattern on pattern and repetitions of forms. This interactive topography started with an idea, assorted materials, and my own two hands. The seven connected circles flow with convoluted shapes, shifting structural forms and contrasting points of view in any given arrangement. Something emerges from these interactions. Unseen forces push and pull the viewer, who falls in and out of the depths, finding her own meanings and edginess. Time stands still. Lean into it. What beautiful chaos, life is.

The concept of “Bridge”, though, is much broader. A bridge can be the symbolic image of chrysalis to butterfly. Bridges are a connection and a link. They are bonds and pathways—both physical and emotional—between people and things. A bridge joins and unites. It spans time and traverses space. It reconciles differences creating harmony. It represents progress, stability, hope and transition. We invite artists to submit work that reflects the theme of “Bridge” either in a representational or abstract interpretation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724075802-M0PL1JDE5HEI5GXRIW2J/forwebBridge_Cover.jpg Bridge Saved - Bridge Logo Oregon is a state filled with bridges ranging from the mythological Bridge of the Gods to the contemporary Tilikum Crossing.

Artist: Anne Daughtry 27” x 32” Techniques: Raw edge and free motion quilting, hand sewn beads, cotton, thread painting, machine and hand embroidery. Photo progress records. Materials: Cotton, hand dyed linen, dyed silk, commercially printed cotton, tulle. Thread painted power towers, gauze, beads, hand-made beads. Artist Statement: Technically, this quilt depicts a "Multi-Modal Transportation Hub" involving not only several freeway interchanges, but a light rail system, buses, trucking routes, Power Transmission Towers, and the ever present construction site of a Cable Stayed Bridge with paving machine laying in place the asphalt complete with white lines. Notice the traffic backup from a fender bender just below left center. You can almost hear the irate drivers. What would our lives be like without modern road systems. I created this image because of my familiarity with engineering and construction. I grew up in Southern California, so I know how necessary they are. I had a lot of fun making up stories about the different trucking companies, the people running for the trains, the lack of parking at the train station, and the drivers on their way somewhere. I guess it's progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724088224-MMFHBK2599VLNMWURAZS/forweb-daughtry_BRIDGE-TO-PROGRESS_detail_10.jpg Bridge Saved - Bridge to Progress? (Detail) Artist: Anne Daughtry 27” x 32” Techniques: Raw edge and free motion quilting, hand sewn beads, cotton, thread painting, machine and hand embroidery. Photo progress records. Materials: Cotton, hand dyed linen, dyed silk, commercially printed cotton, tulle. Thread painted power towers, gauze, beads, hand-made beads. Artist Statement: Technically, this quilt depicts a "Multi-Modal Transportation Hub" involving not only several freeway interchanges, but a light rail system, buses, trucking routes, Power Transmission Towers, and the ever present construction site of a Cable Stayed Bridge with paving machine laying in place the asphalt complete with white lines. Notice the traffic backup from a fender bender just below left center. You can almost hear the irate drivers. What would our lives be like without modern road systems.

Scrunched silk sun and clouds. Scrunched tulle. Painted reflections. Beads, raw edged quilting, free motion stitching. Materials: Hand dyed silk charmeuse, habotai silk, silk organza, tulle, faux suede, faux leather, cotton twill. Beads, Lumiere paint, Temtex. Nylon cords, cotton buttonhole thread. Angelina fibers, Misty Fuse. Artist Statement: Until this bridge opened in October 1973, millions of people, trucks, trains, tourists, pilgrims, and I, waited for ferries to cross this busy international strait running from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and out to the Mediterranean. The Bosphorus separates Europe from Asia, as well as the city of Istanbul, which occupies both shores. I drove drove across this, the first bridge crossing the Bosphorus in 2400 years and the longest suspension bridge anywhere except in the United States. Bridges mean much to me partly because they are beautiful, and partly because my work involved Engineering and Construction Management for the past fifteen years. I worked with the engineers and construction managers who designed and built the bridges and highways. Now, my bridges are carefully dyed silk or cotton, supported by nylon cords, vaulting over textured silk seas, reflecting the sunset as dusk deepens over the ancient city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724091878-FSN7QC4T3Y19Z43UF7X2/forweb-daughtry_LINKING-EUROPE-TO_detail_9.jpg Bridge Saved - Linking Europe to Asia (Detail) Artist: Anne Daughtry 42” x 32” Techniques: Scrunched charmeuse for the sea, silks covered by tulle.

The scene in my mind is tranquil; almost like a watercolor but in an abstract way.

Materials: The materials include a variety of cotton fabrics, piping, embroidery thread, and sewing threads (metallic, invisible, and colored). Artist Statement: "All Kapakahi" was inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge. This suspension bridge is an engineering marvel designed to move in both a vertical and horizontal position in order to accommodate high winds. This art quilt draws upon the main features of the bridge (iconic orange vertical towers as well as the cables and vertical suspenders). The gentle swaying lines of the quilt suggest the movement of the bridge and the playful color palette reflects the spirit of San Francisco. "Kapakahi" is an Hawaiian pigeon English word meaning "askew, lop-sided, or crooked". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724073304-ASKURPZHHBGA0Z5ZTE2S/forweb-beaver_ALL-KAPAKAHI_detail_39.jpg Bridge Saved - All Kapakahi (Detail) Artist: Judith A Beaver 53.5” x 32” Techniques: This quilt is machine pieced, machine appliquéd, machine quilted, and hand stitched to create surface embellishment.

Artist Statement: On a recent trip to Newport, Oregon I was captivated by the beautiful Yaguina Bridge. On closer inspection of the steel deck arches, I realized that the understructure of the bridge was composed of struts forming interlocking triangles. This composition is an abstract that utilizes both the triangular and rectangular forms that were dominant in the bridge.

Artist Statement: Music provides a transition between time, people and cultures around the world. As a young student, I was intrigued by the lines the piano wires made inside a baby grand piano. In my imagination, they looked like the wires of a bridge. Combine that with a popular cola jingle played on the radio, these memories merge to form my message or desire, to seek harmony in today's world Sharing the joy of freedom which transpired while blending blue and yellow dyes resulted in a mono- print, symbolic of the world. Diversity in the world is represented through the use of a variety of textures, from velvet to silks as well as re-purposed clothing. Hand embroidery is a reminder of the need for personal involvement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724145421-UEUN2UXPK2G9EA64X4PQ/forweb-SEEKING-PERFECT-HARMONY_detail_sorem.jpg Bridge Saved - Seeking Perfect Harmony (Detail) Artist: Deborah Sorem 24” x 32” Techniques: Turned and fused applique plus piecing,and hand embroidery and crochet.

Artist Statement: Gothic Bridge was designed by Calvert Vaux in 1864. He is best known as the co- designer, along with his partner Frederick Law Olmsted, of what would become New York's Central Park. I particularly like the lines of this bridge gracefully arching over the pathway, a unique blend of architectural form and function with the lighter lines of nature.

One of the most iconic is the St. Johns Bridge, a suspension bridge with two gothic towers, soaring over the Willamette River, full of grace and wonder. It inspires me every time I see it; any season, any time of the day. The Figurative Bridge: Mark making describes different lines, patterns, and textures used to create art. As I explored recreating famous paintings, I better understood the value of the personal signature achieved by mark making. In this piece I explored mark making at multiple points of the process. I realized as I worked that the marks, particularly the thread and quilting, bridged traditional art to fiber art, expanding my repertoire of tools to create a my personal signature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724125714-XJPB0HW5RJEYOLCK8NAH/forweb-moomey_HOMAGE-FOR-A-BRIDGE_detail_57.jpg Bridge Saved - Homage for a Bridge Artist: Sherrie Moomey 32” x 32” Techniques: Dye Painted, over-dyed, Machine quilted Materials: 100%cotton broadcloth; assorted threads of cotton and rayon Artist Statement: I began this piece thinking of a literal bridge.

Artist Statement: Bridges have held a special fascination for me since I was a third-grader. We learned about the ways bridges accommodated river traffic. As structures they have always seemed a bit mysterious – how do they hold all that weight without falling down? The Tilikum Crossing cable-stayed bridge creates a geographical connection between areas of Portland. "Tilikum" meaning people allows for a greater connection as no vehicles are allowed. Cycling the bridge, the visual textures, sounds and smells are enhanced. The theme Bridge speaks to me in a life stage concept. As I continue to bridge the transition from my career to retirement, my creative expression expands as well as my love of cycling. Much of my cycling involves bridges –from the Oregon covered bridges to the boro bridges of New York. Now I admire how their strong, graceful simplicity links communities, offers safe passage, ties our past and future, and perhaps as importantly, offers us a safe path into whatever lies ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724156688-YFVZRXOPYP5K57GXLRFG/forweb-walwyn_A-DIFFERENT-GEAR_detail_27.jpg Bridge Saved - A Different Gear (Detail) Artist: Carolyn J Walwyn 46" x 32” Techniques: Machine piecing, trapunto, couching, machine quilting Materials: Commercial cottons, embellishments including holographic ribbon, custom fabric from Spoonflower.

Top stitched with black threads around the curvature of the body to give it the 3 dimensional appearance. Materials: Commercial cotton muslin dyed with acrylic inks. Overlay of crayon rubbings then top stitched the black and gray threads. Artist Statement: The heart of a woman goes forth with the dawn, As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on, Afar o'er life's turrets and vales does it roam In the wake of those echoes the heart calls home. The heart of a woman falls back with the night, and enters some alien cage in its plight, And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars. Georgia Douglas Johnson This inspired me to do a 3 dimensional looking linear whole cloth piece that is somewhat of a self portrait of me sleeping and locked behind the restraints of the body while the dream 'goes forth'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789475765-79RVIMLYN66P7SY1SIPC/Copy+of+tetzlaff_locklines+1.jpg Poetry Saved - Locklines Artist: Janet Tetzlaff 36” x 36” Techniques: Machine piecing and hand quilting Materials: Hand dyed and commercial cottons, silks and velvet Artist Statement: Line after lockline Shimmering water pathways Lyrical color The quilt and the poem were created in response to a photograph of the reflections created by passing ships in a river lock Photo By: Michael Richards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789437039-EMH9WVNYRO1C4HUV1LJ1/Copy+of+J.+Garnett+FP.jpg Poetry Saved - Explorations Artist: Judith Quinn Garnett 49” x 41” Photo By: Sam Garnett Additional Information on Artist Page: /judith-quinn-garnett https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789434153-F6BT5S09ZMNE6D82XLHE/Copy+of+goodson_from_2.jpg Poetry Saved - From Heaven To Earth Artist: Mary Goodson 38” x 36” Techniques: White silk dupioni and sheer silk organdy were dyed and painted then layered on top of each other, hand appliqued and machine stitched.

Artist Statement: As a child in Southern Oregon, the family often spent evenings in the forests around our ranch searching for wildflowers. One of my favorites was the large Washingtonian Lily.

Surface embroidery added sparingly. Materials: cotton cloth, a variety of threads for quilting, metallic and hand dyed perle cotton threads for embroidery Artist Statement: I have always had a love affair with color; however, I am new to the adventure of art quilting. So many visions dance in my head. Yet I find so much trepidation in gathering my visions, laying down swaths of fabric, and sharing that creation with the world. Wouldn't it be safer to keep my dreams in my head? The poem "Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" by WB Yeats speaks so beautifully to this fear. Aedh wishes he had something more special and and less vulnerable to share. The poem inspired me to complete my vision. In the quilt I have interpreted my diverse artistic visions as ribbons or threads of color. Like my dreams these threads are composed of the dim, the half lights, and the bright lights of each color twisting together. Each thread is becoming loosely woven into a cloth of my dreams. Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven WB Yeats 1865-1939 Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and the light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under you feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789441686-IL9YAGHR2BTZL2TN3Y8E/Copy+of+jordan_dream+1.jpg Poetry Saved - Dream Weaver Artist: Cheryl Jordan and Nancy Bryant 42” x 50.5” Photo By: Jon Christopher Meyers Photography Additional Information on Artist Page: /nancy-bryant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789442554-6AA86E1W0E0TE1YIJA5U/Copy+of+KBates+FP.jpg Poetry Saved - And You?

Hand dyed fabric. Water media. Machine stitched Materials: Cotton. Water media Artist Statement: When Mars Was We share the same Sun, you and I A forest grew on Mars, so long ago Ancient trees rooted to the mountains Grew to touch a glowing sky Wild rivers and howling winds gathered to play Now, desert wails where forest grew Beware the land where trees don't grow Where rivers run dry, where silence cries We share the same Sun, you and I Paulette Landers 2015© I have long had a love affair with Planet Mars. I imagine its past inhabitants as my ancestors. They, like Planet Earth's inhabitants, were living the good life, unconcerned about the well being of their planet. Mars succumbed to their harsh treatments. Will Planet Earth be next to fail? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789455930-99HHWLKPGGT4ZYEKOL3S/Copy+of+miller_mountain+1.jpg Poetry Saved - Mountain Majesty Artist: Mandy Miller 32” x 42” Techniques: Machine pieced and quilted, Hand stitching Materials: Commercial and hand-dyed cottons Artist Statement: The cliffs outside of Santa Fe form intriguing networks of interconnected and shifting lines. I was interested in capturing the play of light and shadow on the rock face, but felt the desert colors of the rock did not convey the drama of my emotional response to the cliffs. I was reminded on the line in the song "America" by Katherine Lee Bates about "purple mountains majesty" and the color scheme for this quilt crystallized for me. The purples and fuchsias echo the intensity of my reaction to the mountains and the richness of the rock formations.

Machine quilted. Materials: Hand-dyed cotton fabric Artist Statement: My art is often influenced by nature, especially trees. When I heard the theme for this exhibit, I immediately thought of Joyce Kilmer's poem, The Trees, written in 1919. I abstract ed the letters that spell tree and used them vertically to represent the elegance of a mature tree. I THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

Holst in 1906. IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter, long ago. My New England roots run deep. After moving to Oregon I was thinking of friends and family living through a brutal, bleak winter in Massachusetts. The poem brought this theme into focus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789424003-3K2OM95G6ARPF3BCPRAE/Copy+of+browning_moondance+2.jpg Poetry Saved - Moondance Artist: Dianne Browning 39” x 34” Techniques: Machine pieced curves in the mountains & moon, with the edge corded; sheers layer the sky. All machine driven quilting, with some free motion circles Materials: Mainly solid color designer fabrics include silk, satin, suede,poly/rayon/cotton blends,sheers and embellished with beads Artist Statement: I am inspired by musical song titles & lyrics, as music surrounds my life. "Moondance" by Van Morrison is such a classic love song;a portion of the lyrics "One more dance with you, in the moonlight, on a magic night" led me to create this piece with a feeling of movement, nature and romance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789421556-ONUMDRISXIN6Y3MOB0Z6/Copy+of+born_watery+1.jpg Poetry Saved - Watery Enigma Artist: Diane Born 47” x 31” Techniques: Painted surfaces with acrylic paints; hand-made stencil; free-motion stitching.

Artist Statement: My Hiaku: Primary colors mixed Sep-a-ra-tion Add poetry to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789419574-P1ZRDL3U951DFNXYWCPU/Copy+of+beaver_on+edge+1.jpg Poetry Saved - On the Edge Artist: Judith Beaver 49” x 29” Techniques: Slashed wonky log cabin units were recombined with contrasting materials and strip pieced to create a free form quilt. Materials: A variety of cottons, batiks, gold lame, and burlap. Artist Statement: The poem "Come to the Edge" by Christopher Logue inspired me to move outside my comfort zone. I wanted to create an "edgy" piece by combining techniques, colors, values, and prints that were unsettling yet pleasing. The color scheme of sienna, gray, and blue is enlivened by the wide range of values. The accents and inserts of black, white and gold add additional life, movement, and interest. The poem is concise and to the point: Come to the edge. We might fall. Come to the edge. It's too high! COME TO THE EDGE! And they came, And he pushed, And they flew. Christopher Logue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789426460-KK7FX70VCQA53JO037SC/Copy+of+daughtry_a1.jpg Poetry Saved - A Painted Ship Artist: Anne Daughtry 34.5” x 47” Techniques: Piecing, thread painting, hand stitching, free motion and straight machine quilting, and Shibori style texturizing of cotton and silk. Heat sealed edge of polyester, and computer printed words on silk. Materials: Hand dyed, and commercial cotton, cotton gauze, silk, cording, plastic net, polyester chiffon, gold net, rayon, polyester satin, crystaline, Angelina and Mistyfuse. Artist Statement: "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," written in 1798 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, has created surreal images swirling in my mind. My father quoted lines to me, I studied it in high school, then taught it to my English classes for years. My husband fell in love when I quoted, "Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink" and other such lines. My purpose is to demonstrate the beauty and might of the sea, and the perils of those who sail upon it.

Other techniques used include embroidery, painting and one fused element. Materials: 100% cotton face and backing; rayon threads and floss, felting wool Artist Statement: This piece is inspired by Bob Dylan's song "Shelter From the Storm". The lyrics depict images that are both painful and maybe hopeful. And maybe not. This piece attempts to capture the power of the forces, yet leaves open the question of where and if true shelter exists. Three verses below were selected to provide context for the powerful forces at work in this song and the art. "Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood Blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form " Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" "Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns "Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razors edge, someday I'll make it mine I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born "Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" By Bob Dylan Photo By: Hoddick Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789453061-HB7X4HZCAGYFATJLYSLY/Copy+of+millar_dazzle+1.jpg Poetry Saved - Dazzle Artist: Elaine Miller 45.5” x 28” Techniques: Machine applique; Materials: Hand dyed and batik cotton cloth; Artist Statement: Tell All the Truth by Emily Dickinson Tell all the truth but tell it slant -- Success in circuit lies Too bright for our infirm delight The Truth's superb surprise. As Lightening to the children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789432561-5BJP0TX3IAXTFBSKSIRP/Copy+of+gientke_roads+1.jpg Poetry Saved - Roads Traveled Artist: Betty Gientke 44” x 32” Techniques: I pieced, appliquéd, couched, hand and machine stitched to illustrate the many options and obstacles we face during our lifetime. Materials: Linen, hand dyed and commercial cotton fabric, variety of threads and yarns, cotton batting and cotton crinoline. Artist Statement: Robert Frost "The Road Not Taken" was my inspiration for Roads Travelled--"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both". Whether we take the long and winding road, the straight and narrow or the yellow brick road we will always wonder about the road not taken. We can stay on a well-traveled road or make our own. The road or roads we choose in life take us to where we are and make us who we are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789422038-4FNU6FGC2ACZOLRA21TD/Copy+of+brisson_ode_1.jpg Poetry Saved - Ode to Great Ideas Artist: Helen Brisson 32.5” x 27.5 Techniques: Machine pieced, free motion machine quilting, machine applique. Materials: hand dyed linen, silk and commercial batik fabrics. Artist Statement: Great Idea The words flew from the page like frightened sparrows, and disappeared into the cool blue green dark forest. by Peter Lovering I wanted to honor a local poet. Pete, who is a Bend resident, creates poems that can be very complex or simple straight forward messages. This one spoke to me. Creating a simple abstract design that matched the simple yet all to familiar scenario for many writers. Words on the page that seem to have a mind of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789436057-H88T2C7G33NXG51UGMCH/Copy+of+J.Peterson+FP.jpg Poetry Saved - Homage to the Dead Artist: Judy Peterson 36” x 45.5” Techniques: Painting, beading, trapunto, domestic machine quilting, Materials: Commercial cotton fabrics, beads Artist Statement: Finding my voice for this quilt in songs by "The Greatful Dead", the notes played in my head with each drop of the needle making ripples in my clear water glass. The song of birds out my window kept time making a peaceful place on the wall to sit and ponder.

Materials: Cotton fabric, acrylic paints, Japanese fiber paper, varigated cotton thread Artist Statement: The author of Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stephenson also wrote a book of verse for children. His childhood memories may hold a clue to the author's true nature, as a person who loved sunshine and the blue of a summer sky. Summer Sun by Robert Louis Stephenson (condensed) Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven without repose; And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays. Above the hills, along the blue, Round the bright air with footing true, To please the child, to paint the rose, The gardener of the World, he goes.

Materials: commercial fabric, silk, raffia, hand dyed sari silk ribbon, floss, ink, fusible braid Artist Statement: "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary..." Edgar Allen Poe Poe wrote "The Raven" at the height of Victorian obsession with the macabre. He intended it to be a satire. Sadly, it became his most famous work and while catapulting his name into drawing rooms around the world, it stung him deeply that it defined him completely. His contemporary Audubon was also known in most Victorian drawing rooms, but in a far more respected manner. Too bad as I really like Ravens.

Let the rest go by." Ken Keasey All the little things one does in a life time ...This could indeed sum up a happy life. Inspired by giant redwood trees, the cool mornings with wings fluttering above, everything in hard working order. What could be a better playground. The creativity to lay and pick images out of the passing clouds or perhaps write a book. The jester holds court and speaks.

Carl Sandburg On a recent trip to Chicago I was reminded of Carl Sandburg's famous lines describing the city and was inspired to capture its vitality and energy in a quilt reimagining the Chicago skyline. The required "step-backs" for tall buildings in Chicago, along with the city's river and lakeside, create a sense openness where you can see layers of downtown buildings in the foreground and others fading into the distance. The varied patterns of crosses created by the windows of the city's skyscrapers became a logical focus for me in Rosalie Dace's Cross Currents class, where I started the quilt.

Leaves individually stitched on organza and tulle. Leaves and text were machine appliqued after quilting. Hand beading. Materials: Cotton, organza and tulle fabrics. Glass beads. Polyester quilting threads. Artist Statement: This quilt was originally made in response to the book " A Tale For The Time Being" by Ruth Ozeki, which is why it has a Japanese look. However, the poetry I chose to represent in this quilt is from one of the Biblical books of poetry, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. This scripture deals with the passing of time and thus ties in with the book title I responded to. The organza Japanese characters loosely translate the title of the quilt. The entire poem is on the label on the back of the quilt. "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; ...A time to weep, and a time to laugh... ...A time to keep silence, and a time to speak..." The leaves at the top are green and as they are dying and falling they turn yellow, and then brown, symbolizing the passing of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789473151-KOXT5CH1SWQVMHOKYJ8M/Copy+of+T.+Smith+FP.jpg Poetry Saved - Connections Artist: Toni Smith 24” x 49.75” Techniques: fused; appliqued and quilted Materials: commercials cottons; cotton and metallic threads Artist Statement: I was inspired by Ezra Pond's minimalist 1913 poem "In A Station of the Metro" ("The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet black bough'). His precise words created a strong visual image in my mind's eye. This composition is my cloth interpretation of his poem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789479854-VSOS2S36MGPUIJHCD4QL/Copy+of+wolfe_time+1.jpg Poetry Saved - Time Ran Out Artist: Marie Wolfe 26” x 57.5” Techniques: Embroidery, hand stitching Materials: African Mud Cloth, pearl cotton, stone beads Artist Statement: I have been considering time and loss a great deal.

Artist Statement: "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost was the inspiration for my piece. The poem was the theme of my high school graduation speech. In search for a poem for "Blending Poetry & Cloth, I re-read Frost's poem. In reading his words again, I realized his poem had become more meaningful with the passage of time, especially the final lines..... I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and sages hence: Two Roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

I added petroglyphs to speak to the timeless quality of the rocks.

On the Edge Logo Standing at the edge of the precipice, a precarious position, teetering between defeat or victory we feel both anxious and exhilarated. We must move forward, there is no turning back or staying on the edge. In Oregon, we live on the edge of a volcanic zone, an earthquake fault line, a tsunami zone, on the edge of the continent. Whether staring down from the top of a mountain or standing on a beach, we watch as the sun dips below the same horizon. We are all on the edge -- be it physically, geographically emotionally, philosophically, in personality, or in style. SAQA Oregon artists were invited to interpret either in a representational or abstract way a response to On the Edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285348310-S0ADCFEKUCWRM69LAYVT/allen_SUSAN_at-the-threshold-of_OVERALL_74.jpg Past Exhibits - At the Threshold of the Galaxy Artist: Susan K. Allen 40” X 36” Techniques: Piecing, free motion quilting Materials: Artist ice-dyed cotton and linen fabric, commercial batik fabric, rice paper, cotton batting Artist Statement: Consider the vastness of the galaxy we in which we live! What lies beyond boundless space????…. I am awed by the order and chaos found in nature. There is unlimited beauty in the diversity of size, shape, color and energy. The life particles in space, for me, reflect the diversity found in life on this planet, Earth and it's people. Inspired by the "comets" resulting from my ice-dyeing process, the image of what happens at the edge of the galaxy came into focus. The fabric spoke to me demanding to swirl into creation of new life expressions.

Materials: Deconstructive printed silk organza, shibori dyed cotton, commercial cotton, cotton batting and thread. Artist Statement: City on the Edge evolved from my experimentation with deconstructive printing on silk organza. I loved the way the shapes changed with each pull on the screen reminiscent of the shapes of water. Oregon's lakes, streams and rivers are the inspiration for much of my work. From the appliqué over and under laid on the organza came City on the Edge, Portland, along the Willamette River. I have always been taken with the skyline of the buildings along the river and the many bridges connecting one side to the other. City on the Edge is at dusk ; a favorite time when colors mute to dark blues and grey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285392975-Y406XD5M1N2RPU7FE8ED/gientke_BETTY_city-on-the-edge_DETAIL_66.jpg Past Exhibits - City on the Edge (Detail) Artist: Betty Gientke 24” x 42” Techniques: Deconstructive/breakdown printing on silk organza, shibori dyed cotton, raw edge appliqué over and under the organza, machine quilting.

He suggested that along any edge there are places of encounter, where something meets something else and something happens. He described these encounters as fertile verges. And so, too, is an estuary a place of encounter, where fresh waters meet saltwater. I make contemporary stitched constructions using fabrics and fibers, especially silks, cottons, linens, wools and recycled items. In the various stages of assembly, I paint, stain or silkscreen these materials. Most work is representational, although often trending to more abstract and minimalist work. One constant is that almost everything begins with photography. For me, art serves as a means of mapping a life. And making things requires taking a closer, more careful look of the natural and the domestic environments, the edges along which I live. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285351212-78Q1O8H0HNFD2EB4O3QN/bass_SHARON-M-W_waterline-3-estuary_2NDDETAIL_65.jpg Past Exhibits - Waterline #3 Estuary (Detail) Artist: Sharon M W Bass 30” x 42” Techniques: Raw-edge piecing and applique Materials: Cotton, silk, up-cycled quilts and denim Artist Statement: Daniel Boorstin, former Librarian of Congress, inspired my entry.

Before or after quilting, appliqué pieces were secured. Materials: Commercial fabrics, my own digital prints on cottons, linen, silk, cheesecloth, and rice paper. Artist Statement: Oregon itself is On the Edge. Most settlements along the coast are in danger because Oregon sits on the Pacific Rim's Ring of Fire. That means the area is subject to seismic activity – volcanoes and earthquakes – both of which can trigger tsunamis, creating Oregon as a Tsunami Zone.

Variations play out as the edges curve and fold back on themselves, creating pattern on pattern and repetitions of forms. This interactive topography started with an idea, assorted materials, and my own two hands. The seven connected circles flow with convoluted shapes, shifting structural forms and contrasting points of view in any given arrangement. Something emerges from these interactions.

The fear of being cut off due to water inundation, roads collapsing and lives disrupted could be very real despite efforts in disaster preparedness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1551302077385-8D3TU461VWCH9DFBCQ7R/collins_KRISTAN_the-edge-of-night_OVERALL_43.jpg Past Exhibits - The Edge of Night Artist: Kristan Collins 34” x 47.5” Techniques: collage of fused fabric with freehand surface design Materials: cotton fabric, inks, and markers Artist Statement: Seek the day or night, Torn between dark and light. Which is wrong or right… I marvel at our unlikely inspirations! This piece languished in the back of my studio for years. Although inspired by an excellent lesson in abstraction, it never found that creative spark. Then after many days turned into nights and then back to days – the vision changed in the blink of an eye. In 2017 the careless decision of youth in our forest became the edge of life and death, light becoming dark. Their moment of play ignited the 2017 Eagle Creek fire in our Columbia Gorge. My grief from this destruction fueled a new course and my hope for dark to become light again. Torn between joy and tragedy.

We must move forward, there is no turning back or staying on the edge. In Oregon, we live on the edge of a volcanic zone, an earthquake fault line, a tsunami zone, on the edge of the continent. Whether staring down from the top of a mountain or standing on a beach, we watch as the sun dips below the same horizon. We are all on the edge -- be it physically, geographically emotionally, philosophically, in personality, or in style. SAQA Oregon artists were invited to interpret either in a representational or abstract way a response to On the Edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285348310-S0ADCFEKUCWRM69LAYVT/allen_SUSAN_at-the-threshold-of_OVERALL_74.jpg Past Exhibits - At the Threshold of the Galaxy Artist: Susan K.

What lies beyond boundless space????…. I am awed by the order and chaos found in nature. There is unlimited beauty in the diversity of size, shape, color and energy. The life particles in space, for me, reflect the diversity found in life on this planet, Earth and it's people. Inspired by the "comets" resulting from my ice-dyeing process, the image of what happens at the edge of the galaxy came into focus. The fabric spoke to me demanding to swirl into creation of new life expressions.

Materials: Deconstructive printed silk organza, shibori dyed cotton, commercial cotton, cotton batting and thread. Artist Statement: City on the Edge evolved from my experimentation with deconstructive printing on silk organza. I loved the way the shapes changed with each pull on the screen reminiscent of the shapes of water. Oregon's lakes, streams and rivers are the inspiration for much of my work. From the appliqué over and under laid on the organza came City on the Edge, Portland, along the Willamette River. I have always been taken with the skyline of the buildings along the river and the many bridges connecting one side to the other. City on the Edge is at dusk ; a favorite time when colors mute to dark blues and grey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285392975-Y406XD5M1N2RPU7FE8ED/gientke_BETTY_city-on-the-edge_DETAIL_66.jpg Past Exhibits - City on the Edge (Detail) Artist: Betty Gientke 24” x 42” Techniques: Deconstructive/breakdown printing on silk organza, shibori dyed cotton, raw edge appliqué over and under the organza, machine quilting.

He suggested that along any edge there are places of encounter, where something meets something else and something happens. He described these encounters as fertile verges. And so, too, is an estuary a place of encounter, where fresh waters meet saltwater. I make contemporary stitched constructions using fabrics and fibers, especially silks, cottons, linens, wools and recycled items. In the various stages of assembly, I paint, stain or silkscreen these materials. Most work is representational, although often trending to more abstract and minimalist work. One constant is that almost everything begins with photography. For me, art serves as a means of mapping a life. And making things requires taking a closer, more careful look of the natural and the domestic environments, the edges along which I live. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1550285351212-78Q1O8H0HNFD2EB4O3QN/bass_SHARON-M-W_waterline-3-estuary_2NDDETAIL_65.jpg Past Exhibits - Waterline #3 Estuary (Detail) Artist: Sharon M W Bass 30” x 42” Techniques: Raw-edge piecing and applique Materials: Cotton, silk, up-cycled quilts and denim Artist Statement: Daniel Boorstin, former Librarian of Congress, inspired my entry.

At rest, this "interactive" quilt collapses into a bowl shape. Installed, the space it fills up varies with the pose. Materials: Commercial shot cottons, woven cottons, and cotton prints; fast2fuse®; cotton thread Artist Statement: "Configurations" is a symphony performed by an ensemble of contours, layers and textures. Variations play out as the edges curve and fold back on themselves, creating pattern on pattern and repetitions of forms. This interactive topography started with an idea, assorted materials, and my own two hands. The seven connected circles flow with convoluted shapes, shifting structural forms and contrasting points of view in any given arrangement. Something emerges from these interactions. Unseen forces push and pull the viewer, who falls in and out of the depths, finding her own meanings and edginess. Time stands still. Lean into it. What beautiful chaos, life is.

The concept of “Bridge”, though, is much broader. A bridge can be the symbolic image of chrysalis to butterfly. Bridges are a connection and a link. They are bonds and pathways—both physical and emotional—between people and things. A bridge joins and unites. It spans time and traverses space. It reconciles differences creating harmony. It represents progress, stability, hope and transition. We invite artists to submit work that reflects the theme of “Bridge” either in a representational or abstract interpretation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724084809-Q1ZJ42RYG3B2IJLF3O4V/forweb-carvalho_GOLDEN-BRIDGES_overall_13.jpg Past Exhibits - Golden Bridges Artist: Sharon Carvalho 33.5” x 32” Techniques: Piece includes piecing, appliqué, digital designs printed on fabric, and some hand dyes. Materials: Cotton, twill, and silk. Artist Statement: "Golden Bridges" is an interpretive piece inspired by a photo I once saw of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. Each tower is created by way of a different technique, including appliqué, digital design, and hand drawn. The piece was constructed from approximately 75 percent scraps from other projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724082303-1SA4PW10AJ0YK8MBYUVN/forweb-carvalho_GOLDEN-BRIDGES_detail_13.jpg Past Exhibits - Golden Bridges (Detail) Artist: Sharon Carvalho 33.5” x 32” Techniques: Piece includes piecing, appliqué, digital designs printed on fabric, and some hand dyes.

Artist: Anne Daughtry 27” x 32” Techniques: Raw edge and free motion quilting, hand sewn beads, cotton, thread painting, machine and hand embroidery. Photo progress records. Materials: Cotton, hand dyed linen, dyed silk, commercially printed cotton, tulle. Thread painted power towers, gauze, beads, hand-made beads. Artist Statement: Technically, this quilt depicts a "Multi-Modal Transportation Hub" involving not only several freeway interchanges, but a light rail system, buses, trucking routes, Power Transmission Towers, and the ever present construction site of a Cable Stayed Bridge with paving machine laying in place the asphalt complete with white lines. Notice the traffic backup from a fender bender just below left center. You can almost hear the irate drivers. What would our lives be like without modern road systems. I created this image because of my familiarity with engineering and construction. I grew up in Southern California, so I know how necessary they are. I had a lot of fun making up stories about the different trucking companies, the people running for the trains, the lack of parking at the train station, and the drivers on their way somewhere. I guess it's progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724088224-MMFHBK2599VLNMWURAZS/forweb-daughtry_BRIDGE-TO-PROGRESS_detail_10.jpg Past Exhibits - Bridge to Progress?

Scrunched silk sun and clouds. Scrunched tulle. Painted reflections. Beads, raw edged quilting, free motion stitching. Materials: Hand dyed silk charmeuse, habotai silk, silk organza, tulle, faux suede, faux leather, cotton twill. Beads, Lumiere paint, Temtex. Nylon cords, cotton buttonhole thread. Angelina fibers, Misty Fuse. Artist Statement: Until this bridge opened in October 1973, millions of people, trucks, trains, tourists, pilgrims, and I, waited for ferries to cross this busy international strait running from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and out to the Mediterranean. The Bosphorus separates Europe from Asia, as well as the city of Istanbul, which occupies both shores. I drove drove across this, the first bridge crossing the Bosphorus in 2400 years and the longest suspension bridge anywhere except in the United States. Bridges mean much to me partly because they are beautiful, and partly because my work involved Engineering and Construction Management for the past fifteen years. I worked with the engineers and construction managers who designed and built the bridges and highways. Now, my bridges are carefully dyed silk or cotton, supported by nylon cords, vaulting over textured silk seas, reflecting the sunset as dusk deepens over the ancient city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724091878-FSN7QC4T3Y19Z43UF7X2/forweb-daughtry_LINKING-EUROPE-TO_detail_9.jpg Past Exhibits - Linking Europe to Asia (Detail) Artist: Anne Daughtry 42” x 32” Techniques: Scrunched charmeuse for the sea, silks covered by tulle.

The scene in my mind is tranquil; almost like a watercolor but in an abstract way. This is how I prefer to remember the gardens, not the reality of the many people inside the walled gardens and crowded markets outside the gates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724124639-CXYYG2U5H6YCT1702X1B/forweb-moomey_FANTASY-BRIDGE_detail_58.jpg Past Exhibits - Fantasy Bridge (Detail) Artist: Sherrie Moomey 37” x 32” Techniques: Dyed whole cloth, Dye Painted, discharged, machine quilted, shrunk and embellished with acrylic paint in the shapes formed by the quilting Materials: 100% cotton, acrylic paint, assorted cotton and rayon threads Artist Statement: Inspired by gardens in China, this piece is a collage of images from those gardens; some from photos and some from memory; a small foot bridge, trailing flowers and vines; a small boat used to fish in a stocked pond on a weekend morning.

Materials: The materials include a variety of cotton fabrics, piping, embroidery thread, and sewing threads (metallic, invisible, and colored). Artist Statement: "All Kapakahi" was inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge. This suspension bridge is an engineering marvel designed to move in both a vertical and horizontal position in order to accommodate high winds. This art quilt draws upon the main features of the bridge (iconic orange vertical towers as well as the cables and vertical suspenders). The gentle swaying lines of the quilt suggest the movement of the bridge and the playful color palette reflects the spirit of San Francisco. "Kapakahi" is an Hawaiian pigeon English word meaning "askew, lop-sided, or crooked". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724073304-ASKURPZHHBGA0Z5ZTE2S/forweb-beaver_ALL-KAPAKAHI_detail_39.jpg Past Exhibits - All Kapakahi (Detail) Artist: Judith A Beaver 53.5” x 32” Techniques: This quilt is machine pieced, machine appliquéd, machine quilted, and hand stitched to create surface embellishment.

Artist Statement: On a recent trip to Newport, Oregon I was captivated by the beautiful Yaguina Bridge. On closer inspection of the steel deck arches, I realized that the understructure of the bridge was composed of struts forming interlocking triangles. This composition is an abstract that utilizes both the triangular and rectangular forms that were dominant in the bridge. The green/blue palette speaks to the color of the arches as well as the beautiful ocean that ebbs and flows beneath. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724075079-IHQNGYZPQU50HHY67YJJ/forweb-beaver_COASTAL-ARCHES_detail_41.jpg Past Exhibits - Coastal Arches (Detail) Artist: Judith A Beaver 39” x 32” Techniques: Machine pieced, fused, machine appliquéd and machine quilted Materials: A variety of cottons, batting, and quilting threads in various colors.

Artist Statement: Music provides a transition between time, people and cultures around the world. As a young student, I was intrigued by the lines the piano wires made inside a baby grand piano. In my imagination, they looked like the wires of a bridge. Combine that with a popular cola jingle played on the radio, these memories merge to form my message or desire, to seek harmony in today's world Sharing the joy of freedom which transpired while blending blue and yellow dyes resulted in a mono- print, symbolic of the world. Diversity in the world is represented through the use of a variety of textures, from velvet to silks as well as re-purposed clothing.

Materials: Commercial cottons, batiks, printed organza, variegated tulle, netting,polyester, cotton, and rayon threads, cotton batting, fusible web,fabric pigment markers. Artist Statement: Gothic Bridge was designed by Calvert Vaux in 1864. He is best known as the co- designer, along with his partner Frederick Law Olmsted, of what would become New York's Central Park. I particularly like the lines of this bridge gracefully arching over the pathway, a unique blend of architectural form and function with the lighter lines of nature. I wanted to replicate the floral pattern in the arches with daffodils along the pathway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724118975-5D1CUYZAD3R4YLSKV5B4/forweb-mcvickar_GOTHIC-BRIDGE_detail_1.jpg Past Exhibits - Gothic Bridge (Detail) Artist: Ginny McVickar 25” x 32” Techniques: Turned edge and raw edge applique, free motion stitching with home machine, thread painting,fabric painting,double batting, trapunto.

As I worked through the process, I discovered a figurative bridge as well. The Literal Bridge: My city is full of bridges - foot, auto, rail and bicycle. One of the most iconic is the St. Johns Bridge, a suspension bridge with two gothic towers, soaring over the Willamette River, full of grace and wonder. It inspires me every time I see it; any season, any time of the day. The Figurative Bridge: Mark making describes different lines, patterns, and textures used to create art. As I explored recreating famous paintings, I better understood the value of the personal signature achieved by mark making. In this piece I explored mark making at multiple points of the process. I realized as I worked that the marks, particularly the thread and quilting, bridged traditional art to fiber art, expanding my repertoire of tools to create a my personal signature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724125714-XJPB0HW5RJEYOLCK8NAH/forweb-moomey_HOMAGE-FOR-A-BRIDGE_detail_57.jpg Past Exhibits - Homage for a Bridge Artist: Sherrie Moomey 32” x 32” Techniques: Dye Painted, over-dyed, Machine quilted Materials: 100%cotton broadcloth; assorted threads of cotton and rayon Artist Statement: I began this piece thinking of a literal bridge.

Artist Statement: Bridges have held a special fascination for me since I was a third-grader. We learned about the ways bridges accommodated river traffic. As structures they have always seemed a bit mysterious – how do they hold all that weight without falling down? The Tilikum Crossing cable-stayed bridge creates a geographical connection between areas of Portland. "Tilikum" meaning people allows for a greater connection as no vehicles are allowed. Cycling the bridge, the visual textures, sounds and smells are enhanced. The theme Bridge speaks to me in a life stage concept. As I continue to bridge the transition from my career to retirement, my creative expression expands as well as my love of cycling. Much of my cycling involves bridges –from the Oregon covered bridges to the boro bridges of New York. Now I admire how their strong, graceful simplicity links communities, offers safe passage, ties our past and future, and perhaps as importantly, offers us a safe path into whatever lies ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724156688-YFVZRXOPYP5K57GXLRFG/forweb-walwyn_A-DIFFERENT-GEAR_detail_27.jpg Past Exhibits - A Different Gear (Detail) Artist: Carolyn J Walwyn 46" x 32” Techniques: Machine piecing, trapunto, couching, machine quilting Materials: Commercial cottons, embellishments including holographic ribbon, custom fabric from Spoonflower.

Materials: Hand dyed cotton, hand pounded and hand painted Mulberry bark, hand dyed cotton thread, felt Artist Statement: "The whole world is a very narrow bridge and the essential thing is not to let the fear overwhelm us." Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav (1772 – 1810) I have incorporated the above quotation because I feel that the fear and anxiety in our country is potent. The fact that Rabbi Nachman expressed these words more than 200 years ago gives me hope that we can overcome some of our fears. By combining my own hand dyed fabric with mulberry bark cloth that has been hand pounded and hand painted in another country, I strive to symbolize the coming together of peoples in the hopes that cultures can share and honor each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724071633-4SWMVGFB26O3XAHGRJHP/forweb-bates_THE-WHOLE-WORLD-IS_detail_36.jpg Past Exhibits - The Whole World is a Bridge (Detail) Artist: Karen L Bates 19” x 32” Techniques: This quilt was machine pieced, hand appliqued and machine and hand quilted.

Artist Statement: While visiting my neighbor Anna, I noticed a photo she'd taken in Peru. A most awe inspiring picture I'd ever seen. I asked about the circumstances of the photo. She said this was taken of Kevin Santillo who was learning to be a shaman. Coincidentally, he was performing the 'Bridge' ceremony with the Quechua natives. Coca is the bridge to the spirit world.

The concept of “Bridge”, though, is much broader. A bridge can be the symbolic image of chrysalis to butterfly. Bridges are a connection and a link. They are bonds and pathways—both physical and emotional—between people and things. A bridge joins and unites. It spans time and traverses space. It reconciles differences creating harmony. It represents progress, stability, hope and transition. We invite artists to submit work that reflects the theme of “Bridge” either in a representational or abstract interpretation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724084809-Q1ZJ42RYG3B2IJLF3O4V/forweb-carvalho_GOLDEN-BRIDGES_overall_13.jpg Past Exhibits - Golden Bridges Artist: Sharon Carvalho 33.5” x 32” Techniques: Piece includes piecing, appliqué, digital designs printed on fabric, and some hand dyes. Materials: Cotton, twill, and silk. Artist Statement: "Golden Bridges" is an interpretive piece inspired by a photo I once saw of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. Each tower is created by way of a different technique, including appliqué, digital design, and hand drawn.

Artist: Anne Daughtry 27” x 32” Techniques: Raw edge and free motion quilting, hand sewn beads, cotton, thread painting, machine and hand embroidery. Photo progress records. Materials: Cotton, hand dyed linen, dyed silk, commercially printed cotton, tulle. Thread painted power towers, gauze, beads, hand-made beads. Artist Statement: Technically, this quilt depicts a "Multi-Modal Transportation Hub" involving not only several freeway interchanges, but a light rail system, buses, trucking routes, Power Transmission Towers, and the ever present construction site of a Cable Stayed Bridge with paving machine laying in place the asphalt complete with white lines. Notice the traffic backup from a fender bender just below left center. You can almost hear the irate drivers. What would our lives be like without modern road systems. I created this image because of my familiarity with engineering and construction. I grew up in Southern California, so I know how necessary they are. I had a lot of fun making up stories about the different trucking companies, the people running for the trains, the lack of parking at the train station, and the drivers on their way somewhere. I guess it's progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724088224-MMFHBK2599VLNMWURAZS/forweb-daughtry_BRIDGE-TO-PROGRESS_detail_10.jpg Past Exhibits - Bridge to Progress?

Materials: Hand dyed silk charmeuse, habotai silk, silk organza, tulle, faux suede, faux leather, cotton twill. Beads, Lumiere paint, Temtex. Nylon cords, cotton buttonhole thread. Angelina fibers, Misty Fuse. Artist Statement: Until this bridge opened in October 1973, millions of people, trucks, trains, tourists, pilgrims, and I, waited for ferries to cross this busy international strait running from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and out to the Mediterranean. The Bosphorus separates Europe from Asia, as well as the city of Istanbul, which occupies both shores. I drove drove across this, the first bridge crossing the Bosphorus in 2400 years and the longest suspension bridge anywhere except in the United States. Bridges mean much to me partly because they are beautiful, and partly because my work involved Engineering and Construction Management for the past fifteen years. I worked with the engineers and construction managers who designed and built the bridges and highways. Now, my bridges are carefully dyed silk or cotton, supported by nylon cords, vaulting over textured silk seas, reflecting the sunset as dusk deepens over the ancient city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724091878-FSN7QC4T3Y19Z43UF7X2/forweb-daughtry_LINKING-EUROPE-TO_detail_9.jpg Past Exhibits - Linking Europe to Asia (Detail) Artist: Anne Daughtry 42” x 32” Techniques: Scrunched charmeuse for the sea, silks covered by tulle.

Materials: The materials include a variety of cotton fabrics, piping, embroidery thread, and sewing threads (metallic, invisible, and colored). Artist Statement: "All Kapakahi" was inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge. This suspension bridge is an engineering marvel designed to move in both a vertical and horizontal position in order to accommodate high winds. This art quilt draws upon the main features of the bridge (iconic orange vertical towers as well as the cables and vertical suspenders). The gentle swaying lines of the quilt suggest the movement of the bridge and the playful color palette reflects the spirit of San Francisco. "Kapakahi" is an Hawaiian pigeon English word meaning "askew, lop-sided, or crooked". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724073304-ASKURPZHHBGA0Z5ZTE2S/forweb-beaver_ALL-KAPAKAHI_detail_39.jpg Past Exhibits - All Kapakahi (Detail) Artist: Judith A Beaver 53.5” x 32” Techniques: This quilt is machine pieced, machine appliquéd, machine quilted, and hand stitched to create surface embellishment.

Artist Statement: On a recent trip to Newport, Oregon I was captivated by the beautiful Yaguina Bridge. On closer inspection of the steel deck arches, I realized that the understructure of the bridge was composed of struts forming interlocking triangles. This composition is an abstract that utilizes both the triangular and rectangular forms that were dominant in the bridge.

Materials: Fabrics: commercial and hand dyed cottons, re-purposed velvet, silks and polyester tulle. Threads: polyester, metallic, sashiko and DMC. Artist Statement: Music provides a transition between time, people and cultures around the world. As a young student, I was intrigued by the lines the piano wires made inside a baby grand piano. In my imagination, they looked like the wires of a bridge. Combine that with a popular cola jingle played on the radio, these memories merge to form my message or desire, to seek harmony in today's world Sharing the joy of freedom which transpired while blending blue and yellow dyes resulted in a mono- print, symbolic of the world. Diversity in the world is represented through the use of a variety of textures, from velvet to silks as well as re-purposed clothing. Hand embroidery is a reminder of the need for personal involvement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724145421-UEUN2UXPK2G9EA64X4PQ/forweb-SEEKING-PERFECT-HARMONY_detail_sorem.jpg Past Exhibits - Seeking Perfect Harmony (Detail) Artist: Deborah Sorem 24” x 32” Techniques: Turned and fused applique plus piecing,and hand embroidery and crochet.

Materials: Commercial cottons, batiks, printed organza, variegated tulle, netting,polyester, cotton, and rayon threads, cotton batting, fusible web,fabric pigment markers. Artist Statement: Gothic Bridge was designed by Calvert Vaux in 1864. He is best known as the co- designer, along with his partner Frederick Law Olmsted, of what would become New York's Central Park. I particularly like the lines of this bridge gracefully arching over the pathway, a unique blend of architectural form and function with the lighter lines of nature. I wanted to replicate the floral pattern in the arches with daffodils along the pathway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724118975-5D1CUYZAD3R4YLSKV5B4/forweb-mcvickar_GOTHIC-BRIDGE_detail_1.jpg Past Exhibits - Gothic Bridge (Detail) Artist: Ginny McVickar 25” x 32” Techniques: Turned edge and raw edge applique, free motion stitching with home machine, thread painting,fabric painting,double batting, trapunto.

As I worked through the process, I discovered a figurative bridge as well. The Literal Bridge: My city is full of bridges - foot, auto, rail and bicycle. One of the most iconic is the St. Johns Bridge, a suspension bridge with two gothic towers, soaring over the Willamette River, full of grace and wonder. It inspires me every time I see it; any season, any time of the day. The Figurative Bridge: Mark making describes different lines, patterns, and textures used to create art. As I explored recreating famous paintings, I better understood the value of the personal signature achieved by mark making. In this piece I explored mark making at multiple points of the process. I realized as I worked that the marks, particularly the thread and quilting, bridged traditional art to fiber art, expanding my repertoire of tools to create a my personal signature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724125714-XJPB0HW5RJEYOLCK8NAH/forweb-moomey_HOMAGE-FOR-A-BRIDGE_detail_57.jpg Past Exhibits - Homage for a Bridge Artist: Sherrie Moomey 32” x 32” Techniques: Dye Painted, over-dyed, Machine quilted Materials: 100%cotton broadcloth; assorted threads of cotton and rayon Artist Statement: I began this piece thinking of a literal bridge.

Artist Statement: Bridges have held a special fascination for me since I was a third-grader. We learned about the ways bridges accommodated river traffic. As structures they have always seemed a bit mysterious – how do they hold all that weight without falling down? The Tilikum Crossing cable-stayed bridge creates a geographical connection between areas of Portland. "Tilikum" meaning people allows for a greater connection as no vehicles are allowed. Cycling the bridge, the visual textures, sounds and smells are enhanced. The theme Bridge speaks to me in a life stage concept. As I continue to bridge the transition from my career to retirement, my creative expression expands as well as my love of cycling. Much of my cycling involves bridges –from the Oregon covered bridges to the boro bridges of New York. Now I admire how their strong, graceful simplicity links communities, offers safe passage, ties our past and future, and perhaps as importantly, offers us a safe path into whatever lies ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724156688-YFVZRXOPYP5K57GXLRFG/forweb-walwyn_A-DIFFERENT-GEAR_detail_27.jpg Past Exhibits - A Different Gear (Detail) Artist: Carolyn J Walwyn 46" x 32” Techniques: Machine piecing, trapunto, couching, machine quilting Materials: Commercial cottons, embellishments including holographic ribbon, custom fabric from Spoonflower.

Now I admire how their strong, graceful simplicity links communities, offers safe passage, ties our past and future, and perhaps as importantly, offers us a safe path into whatever lies ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553724132535-ASBKWAU3CSN8J7VC9A1G/forweb-peterson_BRIDGING-THE-GAP_overall_62.jpg Past Exhibits - Bridging the Gap Artist: Judy Peterson 21.5” x 32” Techniques: Thread sketching, soft edge applique, couching, domestic machine free motion quilting.

Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav (1772 – 1810) I have incorporated the above quotation because I feel that the fear and anxiety in our country is potent.

Poetry and art have been inextricably linked for as long as they have both been in existence — one illuminating the other and requiring the use of multiple senses. Powerful combinations are created when the two art forms come together in thought provoking ways — one breathing life into the other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789466776-JYBVGIPS55G3WMOS7I5J/Copy+of+runnels_the+1.jpg Past Exhibits - The Heart of a Woman #1 Artist: Deborah Runnels 36” x 36” Techniques: Contour quilting of black thread within the body area with regularly spaced black and gray threads that create a background. Materials: Commercial cotton muslin with cotton thread quilting. Artist Statement: The Heart of a Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson inspired me to do this stark black on white piece that has a 3 dimensional contour around the body that is placed on the flat picture plane area of black and gray horizontal threads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789467428-5OC30LSA9YV14X8N0PN2/Copy+of+runnels_the_2.jpg Past Exhibits - The Heart of a Woman #2 Artist: Deborah Runnels 40” x 32” Techniques: Hand dyed with acrylic inks with an overlay of crayon rubbings. Top stitched with black threads around the curvature of the body to give it the 3 dimensional appearance. Materials: Commercial cotton muslin dyed with acrylic inks. Overlay of crayon rubbings then top stitched the black and gray threads. Artist Statement: The heart of a woman goes forth with the dawn, As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on, Afar o'er life's turrets and vales does it roam In the wake of those echoes the heart calls home. The heart of a woman falls back with the night, and enters some alien cage in its plight, And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars. Georgia Douglas Johnson This inspired me to do a 3 dimensional looking linear whole cloth piece that is somewhat of a self portrait of me sleeping and locked behind the restraints of the body while the dream 'goes forth'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789475765-79RVIMLYN66P7SY1SIPC/Copy+of+tetzlaff_locklines+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Locklines Artist: Janet Tetzlaff 36” x 36” Techniques: Machine piecing and hand quilting Materials: Hand dyed and commercial cottons, silks and velvet Artist Statement: Line after lockline Shimmering water pathways Lyrical color The quilt and the poem were created in response to a photograph of the reflections created by passing ships in a river lock Photo By: Michael Richards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789437039-EMH9WVNYRO1C4HUV1LJ1/Copy+of+J.+Garnett+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - Explorations Artist: Judith Quinn Garnett 49” x 41” Photo By: Sam Garnett Additional Information on Artist Page: /judith-quinn-garnett https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789434153-F6BT5S09ZMNE6D82XLHE/Copy+of+goodson_from_2.jpg Past Exhibits - From Heaven To Earth Artist: Mary Goodson 38” x 36” Techniques: White silk dupioni and sheer silk organdy were dyed and painted then layered on top of each other, hand appliqued and machine stitched. Materials: A variety of silk fabrics,fabric dyes and paints, colored pencil, and stitched with rayon and silk thread. Artist Statement: Chinese philosopher Chang Tzu wrote the following quote in 360 BC; "There is nothing heaven does not cover and nothing earth does not sustain." Today with global warming this quote is more meaningful then ever. In this piece of artwork, and in life, it's my hope your eye will follow the rain falling from the heavens above down to the vegetation growing below and keeping all in balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789417236-SNG9NY4QBZXXJX4780UX/Copy+of+beard_lillies.jpg Past Exhibits - Lilies Artist: Catherine Beard 42” x 42” Techniques: machine pieced and quilted Materials: commercial cottons and a wool batt. Artist Statement: As a child in Southern Oregon, the family often spent evenings in the forests around our ranch searching for wildflowers. One of my favorites was the large Washingtonian Lily. It was rare to ever find and often I only knew it was nearby because of its scent. When I did spot one, the evening was a success. The Washingtonia Lily by Catherine Beard Its elusive scent fills the air, it is rare and lone and beautiful; a childhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789444597-RXQTA19L2A8PAJ9PYJ75/Copy+of+KSpencer+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - here, there and everywhere Artist: Karen Spencer 38” x 38” Techniques: machines pieced and quilted Materials: commercial cottons, various threads Artist Statement: This piece speaks to the varied nature of memories.

Surface embroidery added sparingly. Materials: cotton cloth, a variety of threads for quilting, metallic and hand dyed perle cotton threads for embroidery Artist Statement: I have always had a love affair with color; however, I am new to the adventure of art quilting. So many visions dance in my head. Yet I find so much trepidation in gathering my visions, laying down swaths of fabric, and sharing that creation with the world. Wouldn't it be safer to keep my dreams in my head? The poem "Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" by WB Yeats speaks so beautifully to this fear. Aedh wishes he had something more special and and less vulnerable to share. The poem inspired me to complete my vision. In the quilt I have interpreted my diverse artistic visions as ribbons or threads of color. Like my dreams these threads are composed of the dim, the half lights, and the bright lights of each color twisting together. Each thread is becoming loosely woven into a cloth of my dreams. Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven WB Yeats 1865-1939 Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and the light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under you feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789441686-IL9YAGHR2BTZL2TN3Y8E/Copy+of+jordan_dream+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Dream Weaver Artist: Cheryl Jordan and Nancy Bryant 42” x 50.5” Photo By: Jon Christopher Meyers Photography Additional Information on Artist Page: /nancy-bryant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789442554-6AA86E1W0E0TE1YIJA5U/Copy+of+KBates+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - And You?

Hand dyed fabric. Water media. Machine stitched Materials: Cotton. Water media Artist Statement: When Mars Was We share the same Sun, you and I A forest grew on Mars, so long ago Ancient trees rooted to the mountains Grew to touch a glowing sky Wild rivers and howling winds gathered to play Now, desert wails where forest grew Beware the land where trees don't grow Where rivers run dry, where silence cries We share the same Sun, you and I Paulette Landers 2015© I have long had a love affair with Planet Mars. I imagine its past inhabitants as my ancestors. They, like Planet Earth's inhabitants, were living the good life, unconcerned about the well being of their planet. Mars succumbed to their harsh treatments. Will Planet Earth be next to fail? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789455930-99HHWLKPGGT4ZYEKOL3S/Copy+of+miller_mountain+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Mountain Majesty Artist: Mandy Miller 32” x 42” Techniques: Machine pieced and quilted, Hand stitching Materials: Commercial and hand-dyed cottons Artist Statement: The cliffs outside of Santa Fe form intriguing networks of interconnected and shifting lines. I was interested in capturing the play of light and shadow on the rock face, but felt the desert colors of the rock did not convey the drama of my emotional response to the cliffs. I was reminded on the line in the song "America" by Katherine Lee Bates about "purple mountains majesty" and the color scheme for this quilt crystallized for me. The purples and fuchsias echo the intensity of my reaction to the mountains and the richness of the rock formations.

Machine quilted. Materials: Hand-dyed cotton fabric Artist Statement: My art is often influenced by nature, especially trees. When I heard the theme for this exhibit, I immediately thought of Joyce Kilmer's poem, The Trees, written in 1919. I abstract ed the letters that spell tree and used them vertically to represent the elegance of a mature tree. I THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

"A little while when I am gone My life will live in music after me, As spun foam lifted and borne on After the wave is lost in the full sea." Sara Teasdale https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789475031-I6O6USC5ORFPXEPERAV5/Copy+of+stiewig_beauty+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Beauty At Rest Artist: Mary Stiewig 33” x 50” Techniques: Piecing, raw-edge appliquesurface design, machine and hand quilting, shibori dyeing.

Machine quilted. Materials: 100% cotton with small amounts of matte tulle over text. Artist Statement: A favorite poem by Christina Rosetti, written in 1872 and later put to music by Gustav T. Holst in 1906. IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter, long ago. My New England roots run deep. After moving to Oregon I was thinking of friends and family living through a brutal, bleak winter in Massachusetts. The poem brought this theme into focus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789424003-3K2OM95G6ARPF3BCPRAE/Copy+of+browning_moondance+2.jpg Past Exhibits - Moondance Artist: Dianne Browning 39” x 34” Techniques: Machine pieced curves in the mountains & moon, with the edge corded; sheers layer the sky. All machine driven quilting, with some free motion circles Materials: Mainly solid color designer fabrics include silk, satin, suede,poly/rayon/cotton blends,sheers and embellished with beads Artist Statement: I am inspired by musical song titles & lyrics, as music surrounds my life. "Moondance" by Van Morrison is such a classic love song;a portion of the lyrics "One more dance with you, in the moonlight, on a magic night" led me to create this piece with a feeling of movement, nature and romance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789421556-ONUMDRISXIN6Y3MOB0Z6/Copy+of+born_watery+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Watery Enigma Artist: Diane Born 47” x 31” Techniques: Painted surfaces with acrylic paints; hand-made stencil; free-motion stitching.

Materials: A variety of cottons, batiks, gold lame, and burlap. Artist Statement: The poem "Come to the Edge" by Christopher Logue inspired me to move outside my comfort zone. I wanted to create an "edgy" piece by combining techniques, colors, values, and prints that were unsettling yet pleasing. The color scheme of sienna, gray, and blue is enlivened by the wide range of values. The accents and inserts of black, white and gold add additional life, movement, and interest. The poem is concise and to the point: Come to the edge. We might fall. Come to the edge. It's too high! COME TO THE EDGE! And they came, And he pushed, And they flew. Christopher Logue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789426460-KK7FX70VCQA53JO037SC/Copy+of+daughtry_a1.jpg Past Exhibits - A Painted Ship Artist: Anne Daughtry 34.5” x 47” Techniques: Piecing, thread painting, hand stitching, free motion and straight machine quilting, and Shibori style texturizing of cotton and silk. Heat sealed edge of polyester, and computer printed words on silk. Materials: Hand dyed, and commercial cotton, cotton gauze, silk, cording, plastic net, polyester chiffon, gold net, rayon, polyester satin, crystaline, Angelina and Mistyfuse. Artist Statement: "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," written in 1798 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, has created surreal images swirling in my mind. My father quoted lines to me, I studied it in high school, then taught it to my English classes for years. My husband fell in love when I quoted, "Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink" and other such lines. My purpose is to demonstrate the beauty and might of the sea, and the perils of those who sail upon it.

Other techniques used include embroidery, painting and one fused element. Materials: 100% cotton face and backing; rayon threads and floss, felting wool Artist Statement: This piece is inspired by Bob Dylan's song "Shelter From the Storm". The lyrics depict images that are both painful and maybe hopeful. And maybe not. This piece attempts to capture the power of the forces, yet leaves open the question of where and if true shelter exists. Three verses below were selected to provide context for the powerful forces at work in this song and the art. "Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood Blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form " Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" "Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns "Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razors edge, someday I'll make it mine I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born "Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" By Bob Dylan Photo By: Hoddick Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789453061-HB7X4HZCAGYFATJLYSLY/Copy+of+millar_dazzle+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Dazzle Artist: Elaine Miller 45.5” x 28” Techniques: Machine applique; Materials: Hand dyed and batik cotton cloth; Artist Statement: Tell All the Truth by Emily Dickinson Tell all the truth but tell it slant -- Success in circuit lies Too bright for our infirm delight The Truth's superb surprise.

Materials: Linen, hand dyed and commercial cotton fabric, variety of threads and yarns, cotton batting and cotton crinoline. Artist Statement: Robert Frost "The Road Not Taken" was my inspiration for Roads Travelled--"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both". Whether we take the long and winding road, the straight and narrow or the yellow brick road we will always wonder about the road not taken. We can stay on a well-traveled road or make our own. The road or roads we choose in life take us to where we are and make us who we are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789422038-4FNU6FGC2ACZOLRA21TD/Copy+of+brisson_ode_1.jpg Past Exhibits - Ode to Great Ideas Artist: Helen Brisson 32.5” x 27.5 Techniques: Machine pieced, free motion machine quilting, machine applique.

Artist Statement: Great Idea The words flew from the page like frightened sparrows, and disappeared into the cool blue green dark forest. by Peter Lovering I wanted to honor a local poet. Pete, who is a Bend resident, creates poems that can be very complex or simple straight forward messages. This one spoke to me. Creating a simple abstract design that matched the simple yet all to familiar scenario for many writers. Words on the page that seem to have a mind of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789436057-H88T2C7G33NXG51UGMCH/Copy+of+J.Peterson+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - Homage to the Dead Artist: Judy Peterson 36” x 45.5” Techniques: Painting, beading, trapunto, domestic machine quilting, Materials: Commercial cotton fabrics, beads Artist Statement: Finding my voice for this quilt in songs by "The Greatful Dead", the notes played in my head with each drop of the needle making ripples in my clear water glass.

Materials: Cotton fabric, acrylic paints, Japanese fiber paper, varigated cotton thread Artist Statement: The author of Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stephenson also wrote a book of verse for children. His childhood memories may hold a clue to the author's true nature, as a person who loved sunshine and the blue of a summer sky. Summer Sun by Robert Louis Stephenson (condensed) Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven without repose; And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays. Above the hills, along the blue, Round the bright air with footing true, To please the child, to paint the rose, The gardener of the World, he goes.

Materials: commercial fabric, silk, raffia, hand dyed sari silk ribbon, floss, ink, fusible braid Artist Statement: "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary..." Edgar Allen Poe Poe wrote "The Raven" at the height of Victorian obsession with the macabre. He intended it to be a satire. Sadly, it became his most famous work and while catapulting his name into drawing rooms around the world, it stung him deeply that it defined him completely. His contemporary Audubon was also known in most Victorian drawing rooms, but in a far more respected manner. Too bad as I really like Ravens.

The creativity to lay and pick images out of the passing clouds or perhaps write a book. The jester holds court and speaks.

Carl Sandburg On a recent trip to Chicago I was reminded of Carl Sandburg's famous lines describing the city and was inspired to capture its vitality and energy in a quilt reimagining the Chicago skyline. The required "step-backs" for tall buildings in Chicago, along with the city's river and lakeside, create a sense openness where you can see layers of downtown buildings in the foreground and others fading into the distance. The varied patterns of crosses created by the windows of the city's skyscrapers became a logical focus for me in Rosalie Dace's Cross Currents class, where I started the quilt.

Leaves individually stitched on organza and tulle. Leaves and text were machine appliqued after quilting. Hand beading. Materials: Cotton, organza and tulle fabrics. Glass beads. Polyester quilting threads. Artist Statement: This quilt was originally made in response to the book " A Tale For The Time Being" by Ruth Ozeki, which is why it has a Japanese look. However, the poetry I chose to represent in this quilt is from one of the Biblical books of poetry, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. This scripture deals with the passing of time and thus ties in with the book title I responded to. The organza Japanese characters loosely translate the title of the quilt. The entire poem is on the label on the back of the quilt. "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; ...A time to weep, and a time to laugh... ...A time to keep silence, and a time to speak..." The leaves at the top are green and as they are dying and falling they turn yellow, and then brown, symbolizing the passing of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789473151-KOXT5CH1SWQVMHOKYJ8M/Copy+of+T.+Smith+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - Connections Artist: Toni Smith 24” x 49.75” Techniques: fused; appliqued and quilted Materials: commercials cottons; cotton and metallic threads Artist Statement: I was inspired by Ezra Pond's minimalist 1913 poem "In A Station of the Metro" ("The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet black bough'). His precise words created a strong visual image in my mind's eye. This composition is my cloth interpretation of his poem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789479854-VSOS2S36MGPUIJHCD4QL/Copy+of+wolfe_time+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Time Ran Out Artist: Marie Wolfe 26” x 57.5” Techniques: Embroidery, hand stitching Materials: African Mud Cloth, pearl cotton, stone beads Artist Statement: I have been considering time and loss a great deal.

Artist Statement: "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost was the inspiration for my piece. The poem was the theme of my high school graduation speech. In search for a poem for "Blending Poetry & Cloth, I re-read Frost's poem. In reading his words again, I realized his poem had become more meaningful with the passage of time, especially the final lines..... I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and sages hence: Two Roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Materials: Cotton and silk. Artist Statement: I was captivated by the rock cliffs that can be seen along the John Day highway in Oregon. I wanted to capture the play of light on a rock face in the few minutes at dawn with both the sun and the moon can be seen. I integrated the moss, the shadows and the lines that I saw in the cliffs. I added petroglyphs to speak to the timeless quality of the rocks.

Based on the poem "Bridges" by my mother, Marjorie Russell. "When the river of life becomes polluted With hatred and fear and misunderstanding And the oppression of the weak by the strong, Then it is necessary to build bridges, Not made of stone or bricks and mortar, But of human hands stretching across the water ..."

Poetry and art have been inextricably linked for as long as they have both been in existence — one illuminating the other and requiring the use of multiple senses. Powerful combinations are created when the two art forms come together in thought provoking ways — one breathing life into the other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789466776-JYBVGIPS55G3WMOS7I5J/Copy+of+runnels_the+1.jpg Past Exhibits - The Heart of a Woman #1 Artist: Deborah Runnels 36” x 36” Techniques: Contour quilting of black thread within the body area with regularly spaced black and gray threads that create a background.

Top stitched with black threads around the curvature of the body to give it the 3 dimensional appearance. Materials: Commercial cotton muslin dyed with acrylic inks. Overlay of crayon rubbings then top stitched the black and gray threads. Artist Statement: The heart of a woman goes forth with the dawn, As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on, Afar o'er life's turrets and vales does it roam In the wake of those echoes the heart calls home. The heart of a woman falls back with the night, and enters some alien cage in its plight, And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars. Georgia Douglas Johnson This inspired me to do a 3 dimensional looking linear whole cloth piece that is somewhat of a self portrait of me sleeping and locked behind the restraints of the body while the dream 'goes forth'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789475765-79RVIMLYN66P7SY1SIPC/Copy+of+tetzlaff_locklines+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Locklines Artist: Janet Tetzlaff 36” x 36” Techniques: Machine piecing and hand quilting Materials: Hand dyed and commercial cottons, silks and velvet Artist Statement: Line after lockline Shimmering water pathways Lyrical color The quilt and the poem were created in response to a photograph of the reflections created by passing ships in a river lock Photo By: Michael Richards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789437039-EMH9WVNYRO1C4HUV1LJ1/Copy+of+J.+Garnett+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - Explorations Artist: Judith Quinn Garnett 49” x 41” Photo By: Sam Garnett Additional Information on Artist Page: /judith-quinn-garnett https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789434153-F6BT5S09ZMNE6D82XLHE/Copy+of+goodson_from_2.jpg Past Exhibits - From Heaven To Earth Artist: Mary Goodson 38” x 36” Techniques: White silk dupioni and sheer silk organdy were dyed and painted then layered on top of each other, hand appliqued and machine stitched.

Artist Statement: As a child in Southern Oregon, the family often spent evenings in the forests around our ranch searching for wildflowers. One of my favorites was the large Washingtonian Lily.

Surface embroidery added sparingly. Materials: cotton cloth, a variety of threads for quilting, metallic and hand dyed perle cotton threads for embroidery Artist Statement: I have always had a love affair with color; however, I am new to the adventure of art quilting. So many visions dance in my head. Yet I find so much trepidation in gathering my visions, laying down swaths of fabric, and sharing that creation with the world. Wouldn't it be safer to keep my dreams in my head? The poem "Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" by WB Yeats speaks so beautifully to this fear. Aedh wishes he had something more special and and less vulnerable to share. The poem inspired me to complete my vision. In the quilt I have interpreted my diverse artistic visions as ribbons or threads of color. Like my dreams these threads are composed of the dim, the half lights, and the bright lights of each color twisting together. Each thread is becoming loosely woven into a cloth of my dreams. Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven WB Yeats 1865-1939 Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and the light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under you feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789441686-IL9YAGHR2BTZL2TN3Y8E/Copy+of+jordan_dream+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Dream Weaver Artist: Cheryl Jordan and Nancy Bryant 42” x 50.5” Photo By: Jon Christopher Meyers Photography Additional Information on Artist Page: /nancy-bryant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789442554-6AA86E1W0E0TE1YIJA5U/Copy+of+KBates+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - And You?

Hand dyed fabric. Water media. Machine stitched Materials: Cotton. Water media Artist Statement: When Mars Was We share the same Sun, you and I A forest grew on Mars, so long ago Ancient trees rooted to the mountains Grew to touch a glowing sky Wild rivers and howling winds gathered to play Now, desert wails where forest grew Beware the land where trees don't grow Where rivers run dry, where silence cries We share the same Sun, you and I Paulette Landers 2015© I have long had a love affair with Planet Mars. I imagine its past inhabitants as my ancestors. They, like Planet Earth's inhabitants, were living the good life, unconcerned about the well being of their planet. Mars succumbed to their harsh treatments. Will Planet Earth be next to fail? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789455930-99HHWLKPGGT4ZYEKOL3S/Copy+of+miller_mountain+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Mountain Majesty Artist: Mandy Miller 32” x 42” Techniques: Machine pieced and quilted, Hand stitching Materials: Commercial and hand-dyed cottons Artist Statement: The cliffs outside of Santa Fe form intriguing networks of interconnected and shifting lines. I was interested in capturing the play of light and shadow on the rock face, but felt the desert colors of the rock did not convey the drama of my emotional response to the cliffs. I was reminded on the line in the song "America" by Katherine Lee Bates about "purple mountains majesty" and the color scheme for this quilt crystallized for me. The purples and fuchsias echo the intensity of my reaction to the mountains and the richness of the rock formations.

When I heard the theme for this exhibit, I immediately thought of Joyce Kilmer's poem, The Trees, written in 1919. I abstract ed the letters that spell tree and used them vertically to represent the elegance of a mature tree. I THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

The Voice of the Rain (excerpted) Walt Whitman Photo By: Jon Christopher Meyers Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789445083-T2Q1ZJ74LA6MZHNU3G6N/Copy+of+ladygo_in+1.jpg Past Exhibits - In The Bleak Midwinter Artist: Grace Ladygo 48” x 31” Techniques: Machine pieced, with fused elements. Machine quilted. Materials: 100% cotton with small amounts of matte tulle over text. Artist Statement: A favorite poem by Christina Rosetti, written in 1872 and later put to music by Gustav T. Holst in 1906. IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter, long ago. My New England roots run deep. After moving to Oregon I was thinking of friends and family living through a brutal, bleak winter in Massachusetts. The poem brought this theme into focus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789424003-3K2OM95G6ARPF3BCPRAE/Copy+of+browning_moondance+2.jpg Past Exhibits - Moondance Artist: Dianne Browning 39” x 34” Techniques: Machine pieced curves in the mountains & moon, with the edge corded; sheers layer the sky. All machine driven quilting, with some free motion circles Materials: Mainly solid color designer fabrics include silk, satin, suede,poly/rayon/cotton blends,sheers and embellished with beads Artist Statement: I am inspired by musical song titles & lyrics, as music surrounds my life. "Moondance" by Van Morrison is such a classic love song;a portion of the lyrics "One more dance with you, in the moonlight, on a magic night" led me to create this piece with a feeling of movement, nature and romance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789421556-ONUMDRISXIN6Y3MOB0Z6/Copy+of+born_watery+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Watery Enigma Artist: Diane Born 47” x 31” Techniques: Painted surfaces with acrylic paints; hand-made stencil; free-motion stitching.

Materials: A variety of cottons, batiks, gold lame, and burlap. Artist Statement: The poem "Come to the Edge" by Christopher Logue inspired me to move outside my comfort zone. I wanted to create an "edgy" piece by combining techniques, colors, values, and prints that were unsettling yet pleasing. The color scheme of sienna, gray, and blue is enlivened by the wide range of values. The accents and inserts of black, white and gold add additional life, movement, and interest. The poem is concise and to the point: Come to the edge. We might fall. Come to the edge. It's too high! COME TO THE EDGE! And they came, And he pushed, And they flew. Christopher Logue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789426460-KK7FX70VCQA53JO037SC/Copy+of+daughtry_a1.jpg Past Exhibits - A Painted Ship Artist: Anne Daughtry 34.5” x 47” Techniques: Piecing, thread painting, hand stitching, free motion and straight machine quilting, and Shibori style texturizing of cotton and silk. Heat sealed edge of polyester, and computer printed words on silk. Materials: Hand dyed, and commercial cotton, cotton gauze, silk, cording, plastic net, polyester chiffon, gold net, rayon, polyester satin, crystaline, Angelina and Mistyfuse. Artist Statement: "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," written in 1798 by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, has created surreal images swirling in my mind. My father quoted lines to me, I studied it in high school, then taught it to my English classes for years. My husband fell in love when I quoted, "Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink" and other such lines. My purpose is to demonstrate the beauty and might of the sea, and the perils of those who sail upon it.

Other techniques used include embroidery, painting and one fused element. Materials: 100% cotton face and backing; rayon threads and floss, felting wool Artist Statement: This piece is inspired by Bob Dylan's song "Shelter From the Storm". The lyrics depict images that are both painful and maybe hopeful. And maybe not. This piece attempts to capture the power of the forces, yet leaves open the question of where and if true shelter exists. Three verses below were selected to provide context for the powerful forces at work in this song and the art. "Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood Blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form " Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" "Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns "Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razors edge, someday I'll make it mine I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born "Come in", She said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm" By Bob Dylan Photo By: Hoddick Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789453061-HB7X4HZCAGYFATJLYSLY/Copy+of+millar_dazzle+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Dazzle Artist: Elaine Miller 45.5” x 28” Techniques: Machine applique; Materials: Hand dyed and batik cotton cloth; Artist Statement: Tell All the Truth by Emily Dickinson Tell all the truth but tell it slant -- Success in circuit lies Too bright for our infirm delight The Truth's superb surprise. As Lightening to the children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789432561-5BJP0TX3IAXTFBSKSIRP/Copy+of+gientke_roads+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Roads Traveled Artist: Betty Gientke 44” x 32” Techniques: I pieced, appliquéd, couched, hand and machine stitched to illustrate the many options and obstacles we face during our lifetime. Materials: Linen, hand dyed and commercial cotton fabric, variety of threads and yarns, cotton batting and cotton crinoline. Artist Statement: Robert Frost "The Road Not Taken" was my inspiration for Roads Travelled--"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both". Whether we take the long and winding road, the straight and narrow or the yellow brick road we will always wonder about the road not taken. We can stay on a well-traveled road or make our own. The road or roads we choose in life take us to where we are and make us who we are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789422038-4FNU6FGC2ACZOLRA21TD/Copy+of+brisson_ode_1.jpg Past Exhibits - Ode to Great Ideas Artist: Helen Brisson 32.5” x 27.5 Techniques: Machine pieced, free motion machine quilting, machine applique.

Artist Statement: Great Idea The words flew from the page like frightened sparrows, and disappeared into the cool blue green dark forest. by Peter Lovering I wanted to honor a local poet. Pete, who is a Bend resident, creates poems that can be very complex or simple straight forward messages. This one spoke to me. Creating a simple abstract design that matched the simple yet all to familiar scenario for many writers. Words on the page that seem to have a mind of their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789436057-H88T2C7G33NXG51UGMCH/Copy+of+J.Peterson+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - Homage to the Dead Artist: Judy Peterson 36” x 45.5” Techniques: Painting, beading, trapunto, domestic machine quilting, Materials: Commercial cotton fabrics, beads Artist Statement: Finding my voice for this quilt in songs by "The Greatful Dead", the notes played in my head with each drop of the needle making ripples in my clear water glass.

Materials: Cotton fabric, acrylic paints, Japanese fiber paper, varigated cotton thread Artist Statement: The author of Treasure Island and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Robert Louis Stephenson also wrote a book of verse for children. His childhood memories may hold a clue to the author's true nature, as a person who loved sunshine and the blue of a summer sky. Summer Sun by Robert Louis Stephenson (condensed) Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven without repose; And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays. Above the hills, along the blue, Round the bright air with footing true, To please the child, to paint the rose, The gardener of the World, he goes.

Materials: commercial fabric, silk, raffia, hand dyed sari silk ribbon, floss, ink, fusible braid Artist Statement: "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary..." Edgar Allen Poe Poe wrote "The Raven" at the height of Victorian obsession with the macabre. He intended it to be a satire. Sadly, it became his most famous work and while catapulting his name into drawing rooms around the world, it stung him deeply that it defined him completely. His contemporary Audubon was also known in most Victorian drawing rooms, but in a far more respected manner. Too bad as I really like Ravens.

Let the rest go by." Ken Keasey All the little things one does in a life time ...This could indeed sum up a happy life. Inspired by giant redwood trees, the cool mornings with wings fluttering above, everything in hard working order. What could be a better playground. The creativity to lay and pick images out of the passing clouds or perhaps write a book. The jester holds court and speaks.

Carl Sandburg On a recent trip to Chicago I was reminded of Carl Sandburg's famous lines describing the city and was inspired to capture its vitality and energy in a quilt reimagining the Chicago skyline. The required "step-backs" for tall buildings in Chicago, along with the city's river and lakeside, create a sense openness where you can see layers of downtown buildings in the foreground and others fading into the distance. The varied patterns of crosses created by the windows of the city's skyscrapers became a logical focus for me in Rosalie Dace's Cross Currents class, where I started the quilt.

Leaves individually stitched on organza and tulle. Leaves and text were machine appliqued after quilting. Hand beading. Materials: Cotton, organza and tulle fabrics. Glass beads. Polyester quilting threads. Artist Statement: This quilt was originally made in response to the book " A Tale For The Time Being" by Ruth Ozeki, which is why it has a Japanese look. However, the poetry I chose to represent in this quilt is from one of the Biblical books of poetry, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. This scripture deals with the passing of time and thus ties in with the book title I responded to. The organza Japanese characters loosely translate the title of the quilt. The entire poem is on the label on the back of the quilt. "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; ...A time to weep, and a time to laugh... ...A time to keep silence, and a time to speak..." The leaves at the top are green and as they are dying and falling they turn yellow, and then brown, symbolizing the passing of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789473151-KOXT5CH1SWQVMHOKYJ8M/Copy+of+T.+Smith+FP.jpg Past Exhibits - Connections Artist: Toni Smith 24” x 49.75” Techniques: fused; appliqued and quilted Materials: commercials cottons; cotton and metallic threads Artist Statement: I was inspired by Ezra Pond's minimalist 1913 poem "In A Station of the Metro" ("The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet black bough'). His precise words created a strong visual image in my mind's eye. This composition is my cloth interpretation of his poem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553789479854-VSOS2S36MGPUIJHCD4QL/Copy+of+wolfe_time+1.jpg Past Exhibits - Time Ran Out Artist: Marie Wolfe 26” x 57.5” Techniques: Embroidery, hand stitching Materials: African Mud Cloth, pearl cotton, stone beads Artist Statement: I have been considering time and loss a great deal.

Artist Statement: "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost was the inspiration for my piece. The poem was the theme of my high school graduation speech. In search for a poem for "Blending Poetry & Cloth, I re-read Frost's poem. In reading his words again, I realized his poem had become more meaningful with the passage of time, especially the final lines..... I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and sages hence: Two Roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

I wanted to capture the play of light on a rock face in the few minutes at dawn with both the sun and the moon can be seen. I integrated the moss, the shadows and the lines that I saw in the cliffs. I added petroglyphs to speak to the timeless quality of the rocks.

Materials: hand dyed cottons and cotton sateens. Artist Statement: For the fortunate, there is a place in the world that provides what is absolutely necessary at any given moment--serenity, acceptance, solitude, companionship, silence--whatever. A personal oasis, literal, virtual, or metaphorical. For me, this island of serenity is dockside, watching as the sun dances across sky and water.

Book construction; ‘star book design’ modified. Materials: Paper, book board, PVA, cotton thread, oxidation/rust, paint, indigo dye, UV spray, and workable fix spray. Artist Statement: Humans interacting in ecosystems discover metals they evolve into our modern world – formed by human hands, used by human operators, then finally discarded by humans. This is not the end of these reminders of human interaction as the natural world returns to reclaim its own. In this piece, metal artifacts have left behind their shapes and impressions with oxidation — rust complemented by the biological miracle of indigo — colors which reflect the eternal challenge of mankind amid the natural world. Oxidation occurs from exposure to elements over time. This geometry, quilted by my grandmother, oxidized in my memory becoming part of my modern world. Photographer: Nora Q.

It was natural, then, that circles in a sketch made me think of the bottle caps my son, Jake, has collected all his life. When he saw the small sample where I tested them, he generously gave me his collection to use in a quilt, thus the “J” in the central bottle cap.

I began collecting our discarded bags and observed the use of plastics in my own home. The pile multiplied as even our newspapers arrive in plastic bags. As my concern grew, I began fusing the bags as the surface of this piece. Research suggests that by 2050 the plastics that have migrated into the North Pacific will be greater than the population of fish. I hope we shift consumption before we drown in the plastic ocean we created.

Materials: Canvas, acrylic paint, industrial die-cut waste, composite aluminum, stainless steel washers, screws, painted paper die cut, and black adhesive vinyl. Artist Statement: Amalgam: A composite, a blend, a fusion.I come from a long line of craftsmen and women - with grandmothers & great grandmothers who made quilts that I cherish. As a modern female artist I often wonder what they would make today with all the choices open to them?My amalgamation pushes the edge of quilting tradition — living where traditional geometry meets unexpected materials and processes.The base layer is a composite aluminum over which is laid a layer of wild, expressive painted canvas then finished with a third layer of plastic post-industrial, die-cut waste. The piece is "quilted" with stainless steel screws, hand painted and stainless steal washers.I remain grateful to my ancestors for keeping the tradition and high standard of craft alive, and for valuing creativity and artistic drive. I wish they could all see this Amalgamation of past, present, and future — to see where "women's work" has come.

Materials: Acrylic paint; gesso; cotton canvas; cotton and polyester threads; cotton batting; PVA; woven, commercial cotton fabric Artist Statement: My life is layered. The deep and dark places are in shadow where creativity begins, simmers, and swells; partially obscured by the regimen of everyday life, all in a constant swirl. Then the bridge appears, the path where creation crosses over to visible form. That which was shadow is now light, that which was light, is now unseen.

Materials: Traditionally prepared gesso canvas, acrylic paint, wool/rayon blend felt, various polyester threads, 550 parachute cord, nylon string. Artist Statement: "We shall not cease from exploration..." -TS Eliot This quilt explores a range of materials and pro cesses I've learned over a lifetime - bringing together one of my first artistic passions, acrylic paint on canvas, with the craft of quilting. It is an expression of the internal rumination or "circling" of my life both in studio and at home.

Maybe you sat at a table in the neighborhood coffee shop that was always reserved for a local devotee, or discovered too late that you had dressed totally wrong for a party or meeting. Portland has a "rule"! Yes, really! Here it is: Never, ever carry an umbrella when it rains. And why is that? Because you will be mistaken for a tourist! The person skipping across puddles carrying an orange umbrella doesn't care what all the miserable, soaked, hoodie wearing people think. The edgiest person in Portland is perfectly ok being labeled a tourist in our intriguing, always fascinating world.

After a week and still nothing that excited me, I went to bed still feeling frustrated and decided to just forget about it. I awoke suddenly at 3:00 AM, the vividly dreamed, completed quilt flashing before my eyes. Of course the story begins like all of my favorite childhood tales. Once upon a time there was a little girl whose daddy got transferred to a horrible place she hated. Mean boys called her a yankee and threw rocks at her after school. She had no friends, so spent many hours in a nearby wood making friends with a family of toads. She built little houses of twigs and moss for them, talked to them, held them, comforted by the feel of their soft bellies in her palm. She imagined that if only she could say the right word, they would take her away, far away to an enchanted land. My Bridge to Tranquility.

I've lived in moldy, poorly maintained, downright nasty housing on a military base, (a few of those), and a teeny, tiny cheap shack in the middle of a cow pasture in Texas with my little kids after I went back to school. A beautiful setting or a home you love, your favorite place in the world can disappear quickly due to floods, fire, tsunami, armed conflict, environmental degradation or financial setback. Since I learned to read, losing myself in a wonderful book has made many a less than ideal or plain miserable situation better.

Background is whole cloth. Free motion quilted on a domestic machine. Materials: Commercial cotton batiks, variety of rayon and poly threads Artist Statement: In 1992 my husband and I visited an area in central Mexico where monarch butterflies spend the winter. As we approached the pine trees, I noticed the boughs were drooping; and discovered it was caused by thousands of monarchs resting on the branches. For years, I considered how to translate this experience into fiber. It wasn't until discovered thread-painting that I knew how. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1564441890961-RU0YVGPHTXMDM2IISH6J/forwebNaomi-Weidner---5.jpg Naomi Weidner - Bunny 2 13 x 14 Techniques: Thread painting on a photo I took of a wild bunny in our yard.

They reflect the city's quality of life and its community values. The beautification of collective spaces blooms during times of vitality through murals, protected green spaces, public art, and other creative placemaking. Just Add Color represents the perspective of a city in transition-- a city on the edge of change. The addition of color represents the effect of creative revitalization efforts on a city. Turned on its axis, however, Just Add Color also mimics rain washing the color away, revealing the grittiness, darkness, and desperation of a space on the edge of urban decay.

A bird hops along over the soft carpet of moss searching for breakfast while a breeze rustles the tree leaves. I am always welcomed and comforted by the embrace of my yard. Here I can finally breathe, sit, and be myself without judgment. Even when neglected, it never judges and waits patiently for my return. With time, love, and attention we heal each other. Sanctuary - A culmination of the shapes, colors, and shadows of the yards I have created and loved.

Encrusted on the rocks are gooseneck and acorn barnacles, limpets, anemone, and mussels packed tightly together. These intricately patterned creatures face environmental damage-- the crashing surf, the drying sun, harvesting as delicacies, and damage from humans in their quest to view this delicate ecosystem. The barnacles chatter as they move inside their shells reminding us to observe without disturbing. The organisms arrange themselves so closely together that the creatures visually merge: the eye cannot distinguish where one creature ends and the next begins. An abstract pattern emerges as the contrasting shapes compete for space in one small crevice. Delicate beauty such as this reminds us we must look with our eyes instead of our hands to preserve this natural art form.

Being mother, wife, relative, friend, and artist simultaneously often conceals our true selves with an appropriate perceived image for each identity. Unconsciously, I developed layers to avoid criticism for not conforming to the accepted norms of each role. The enveloping layers of camouflage changed for the occasion. Unfettered by the pull from relatives, social groups, and a conservative town, I shed layers of oppressive ideals that clouded my true self as an artist. Various layers of translucent organza represent the multitude of influences that obscured my artistic identity. Each layer, however, provides hints to the beautiful dimensions that lay beneath the constructed shield.

Fibers need no longer be bound to beds and floors. Sculptures need not be limited to metal and stone. Fiber sculptures unravel those traditional notions by embracing techniques of both art forms. Rhytidome melds the hard and the soft by utilizing sculpture’s wire armature techniques overlaid with hand-dyed silk organza. The delicate fiber layers, hand-stitched to evoke bark patterns common to the Pacific Northwest, coalesce around the armature giving the impression of a hard, protective layer of bark having just been peeled away from the tree. https://www.saqaoregon.com/jill-p-hoddick daily 0.75 2024-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1e63b0bd-d3b5-4fca-8404-688d3443eedd/Jill+P+Hoddick+-+Darlingtonia.jpg Jill P Hoddick - Darlingtonia 25.5” x 40.5” Techniques: Appliqued, thread painted, stitched, and quilted. Materials: Commercial cottons, artist dyed cottons, thread, batting, and Tsukineko Inks. Artist Statement: Hidden just off Hwy 101 near Florence, Oregon, my husband and I discovered an amazing 18 - acre botanical preserve that blew us away. This coastal bog displayed unique and endangered carnivorous species called Darlingtonia californica, perhaps better known as Cobra Lilies or Pitcher Plants. Every 10 – 36” stalk had a unique trait that highlighted their colorful personality – a cocked hood, scaley skin, or an overarching spotted head decorated with a mustache shaped appendage to attract insects. These interesting plants were a perfect inspiration for creating Biophilia in fiber.

It’s 3 inch iridescent wings, dripping with color, were featured in National Geographic magazine in a photograph by Charles Krebs. After receiving Mt. Krebs’ permission to create an art quilt inspired by his photograph, I spent the next 10 years mulling over the best way to depict the lovely creature in fiber. Finally, sequestered in my studio during COVID 19, ideas began to flow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1567106901254-LB9ZVH8QG94CPLDEOKD5/forwebSue--Siefkin---Spring-Debut-trimmed_edited_edited-2.jpg Sue Siefkin - Spring Debut 37” x 25" Techniques: raw-edge fused applique, acrylic painted highlights and shadows, free motion machine quilting Materials: commercial, hand dyed and painted cotton Artist Statement: This image was inspired by an iconic summertime view in Portland's Japanese Garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1567107044202-1WZ6O90FLGUGK9XGYQ9L/forwebSue--Siefkin---3heronsborderless.jpg Sue Siefkin - Great Blue Herons by the Bay 30” x 40" Techniques: Raw-edge fused applique, acrylic painted sky and details, free motion machine quilting Materials: commercial, painted and hand dyed cotton, silk and ultrasuede Artist Statement: Destined for a hospital NICU waiting room, this landscape was created to soothe anxious family members as they wait for news of their loved one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1567107188438-Q73XNC11SIBZHPEHXD7Q/forwewbSue--Siefkin---3heronsdetail.jpg Sue Siefkin - Great Blue Herons by the Bay - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1567107387056-OA49YRYV5ESVHRG6X1YZ/forwebSue--Siefkin---Skunks-borderless.jpg Sue Siefkin - Palo Alto Polecat Parade 40” x 30” Techniques: Raw-edge fused applique with painted elements and shadows, free motion quilting Materials: commercial, hand dyed and painted cotton, silk and ultrasuede Artist Statement: Commissioned by a new children's hospital, I hope this piece will captivate and amuse young patients and their families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1567107426088-LXRUGBT9LGX8X87WKDTH/forwebSue--Siefkin---Palo-Alto-Polecat-detail.jpg Sue Siefkin - Palo Alto Polecat Parade - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1567107517503-RP7DMG2BV9A0EI2ZS5IR/forwebSue--Siefkin---rascal-racoons-borderless.jpg Sue Siefkin - Rascal Raccoons 24” x 36” Techniques: Raw-edge fused applique, intense threadwork, painted elements and details.

Building, roads, greenways and water are constantly moving and changing, fascinating from above. I walk across the Tilikum Crossing Bridge, and step on a quote in the concrete, "under a zipper of bridges our green city thrums". A zipper brings the sides of two pieces of fabric together, just like a bridge connects two sides of a busy city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1572400522075-58UPHHMN6YE01G6VXYKS/forweb-mcfarlane_A-ZIPPER-IS-A-BRIDGE_detail_21.jpg Annette McFarlane - A Zipper is a Bridge - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1572400603997-Y3L7C26ZWUHWF4Y486YD/Copy+of+mcfarlane_ebb+1.jpg Annette McFarlane - Ebb Tide 49” x 30” Techniques: Heated Tyvek, fused, stenciled, inked, free motion quilted, hand stitched Materials: Cotton and silk fabric, silk organza, Tyvek, acrylic paint, ink, rayon and polyester thread Artist Statement: In Walt Whitman's "As I Ebb'd with the Ocean of Life", he questions his life while walking the ocean shore. "As I ebbed the the ocean of life, As I wended the shores I know... Was seized by the spirit that trail's in the lines underfoot... Miles walking, the sound of breaking waves the other side of me... Becoming somber, he reflects- "I too but signify at the utmost a little wash'd-up drift," But as he walks, his mood changes, becoming more positive, "Ebb, ocean of life, (the flow will return,)" and he realizes life is filled with hope and beauty. I also enjoy walking the beach sands, to ponder life's meaning, its joys and sorrows, and always, its beauty and renewing tides.

Materials: Cotton fabrics, embroidery floss, tulle, dissolvable film, artificial stamen. Artist Statement: Native Americans, the Siletz and the Kalaypuans, have dug Camas (Camassia) bulbs for a traditional food source for generations in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Much of their ancestral lands were taken from them by the US government. Now some of their lands are being restored and Camas bulbs have been planted to reestablish this native plant. My goal was to honor the restoration of the Camas plant, depicted in various stages of bud and blossom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1605132725255-XLYE8U6LV6QEUEIQPNF7/forwebNancy-Bryant---Sliced-Beets-Full-Cropped_April201721434.jpg Nancy Bryant - Sliced Beets 33.5" x 38" Techniques: Hand dyed fabric with Procion MX dyes.

St. Helens in 1980 reminded us that we in Oregon live within the Cascadia Volcanic Arc. Knowing that another volcanic eruption, the Big One, is predicted puts those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest "on the edge" emotionally as well as physically.

The wave-like visual texture of the fabrics reminded the artist of rippling water as well as the reflections of light and shadow seen from the perspective of a bridge. Wind across the water creates ripples while the light from the sun creates color change. The resulting work is an abstract depiction of the interplay of natural elements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1574363490846-DZUAJJ3W8F3X24W9I4JL/forweb-bryant_REFLECTIONS-VIEW_detail_14.jpg Nancy Bryant - Reflections: View from the Bridge - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1574360758018-VSJ7CICSXEYQF9QSCO1S/Copy+of+jordan_dream+1.jpg Nancy Bryant - Dream Weaver Artist Collaboration: Nancy Bryant and Cheryl Jordan 42” x 50.5” Techniques: Machine pieced and machine quilted with variegated thread Materials: Hand-dyed and commercial cottons, focus fabrics are ice-dyed cotton by the artists. Artist Statement: Gary Wright's song lyrics "Dream Weaver," I believe we can reach the morning light": inspired our creation of this quilt. It aptly expresses the ethereal, dream imagery in the ice dyed focus fabrics and the woven texture produced by the quilting.

Additionally a paper mask was cut out for the imagery of the bird and branches. Printed bubble wrap provided a contrast in scale, form and movement.

Materials: Commercial fabric, paper, cotton and polyester thread, acrylic paint. Artist Statement: It really is a miracle how life, despite what appears to be so devastating, continues and fights to carry on. Wildfire burned 1000 acres on our mountain in 2020, which included 10 of our 40 acres. I was traumatized to see the burn scar. Everything was black. Even so, our big Douglas fir trees survived the scorching. Despite my fear that it would take years for the forest to recover, within weeks sword ferns were putting up new fronds and thimbleberries were leafing in the charred ground, even though it was October and not springtime. Nature is resilient and it gives me strength. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1593472635622-VWHVJQ772SJ6SNUUPN3J/image-asset.jpeg Noelle Evans - Clarity 28” x36” Techniques: Raw-edge fused applique, machine quilted Materials: Solid cotton commercial fabric to promote the simple nature of the artwork, tulle Artist Statement: My breathing slows and senses expand in the shadows of the forest. She and I know each other well, yet I walk within her borders with childlike wonder exploring her mysteries. The chatter in my head fades away like fog in the morning sun. In the quiet, my creative spirit emerges and I can nurture it and let it grow. She has gifted me clarity. In this piece I chose to show her in her most basic and simplest form to honor the peace, harmony and clarity she offers to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1593472777009-OJGAAT5Q3BW7YKB4K7E1/image-asset.jpeg Noelle Evans - Clarity - Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1585613028111-2W3UC3M7RXWX2CUS0JLJ/forwebNoelle-Evans---Lifeline-%231-Full-IMG_0093_cropped.jpg Noelle Evans - Lifeline 22 x 34 Techniques: Machine appliqued and quilted Materials: Hand-dye and commercial fabric, tulle, ribbon Artist Statement: Currents, the rivers in the ocean that bring plankton and other essential foods to sea life, depend on the temperature differences from the frigid polar icecaps to the tropical equatorial regions. Melting ice packs and warming ocean temperatures threaten the global conveyor belt of currents and present an existential threat to all sea life and to us. Whether we acknowledge it or not, we are inexorably linked to the ocean and its currents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1585613135965-58H8HKKZ0E8V3N2EEB7E/forwebNoelle-Evans---Scorched-%232-IMG_0080_cropped.jpg Noelle Evans - Scorched 22 x 34 Techniques: Pieced, appliqued, and machine quilted Materials: Commercial fabrics Artist Statement: Wheat fields growing, thriving, full of life are juxtaposed against acres of scorched, barren, lifeless land. The Substation fire in the summer of 2018 was the inspiration for this piece, but there were so many fires across Oregon that year. Fires burned hotter than ever before and smoke wafted hundreds of miles away, causing air quality alert after alert. It seemed like our health, livelihoods, homes and all that we love about Oregon was going up in smoke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1585613346131-0T053SMXNT4QKDMKTPV1/forwebNoelle-Evans---Du-Fu-%233-IMG_0147-cropped-.jpg Noelle Evans - Du Fu 20 x 20 Techniques: Machine appliqued and quilted Materials: Commercial fabrics Artist Statement: The river’s blue, the bird a perfect white, The mountain green with flowers about to blaze.

Materials: Tsukineko inks, Pimatex cotton fabric, Cotton Classic batting. Artist Statement: As a child, I had my favorite flower, which I picked a bouquet for my mother. We made dandelion necklaces, rings, head crowns, and colored our cheeks with yellow powder. Watching the life procession of the dandelion, I still am fascinated with the beauty of the seed production. I love the fluff and chance to blow, making a fairytale wish.

I hand stitched in red the 'circle of life' which applies to all forms of nature.

This quilt was featured in the first Storybook Quilt collection during the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1596679304859-KQMMM477MSE2HY1V82CR/forwebJune-Jaeger---NewQuilt-full-1872x3000.jpg June Jaeger - Fences of the Past 50” X 30” Techniques: Painting with inks, block printing, fusible applique, machine quilting Materials: hand dyed fabrics, batiks, Tsukineko Inks Artist Statement: This piece tells the history of Eastern Oregon. All that was available were Juniper trees on the High Desert which were used to build long fences to catch the wild horses. Many still stand after a hundred years of cold dry winters and parching summer sun.

Quilting the 'last layer' allowed me to draw and finish telling the story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1596683500718-WVCDBMPEFWNF0JJRIMN5/forwebJaeger_June_Serenity.jpg June Jaeger - Serenity 59” x 43” Techniques: Hand applique, machine curved piecing, precision piecing, fusible applique and hand embroidery. Materials: cotton batik fabrics, hand dyed fabrics, pearl cotton floss, fusible web, cotton batting, Artist Statement: As a young adult I had learned to live with uncertainty, only trusting nature. Feeling naive in the stressful civilization, I bought a secluded undeveloped acreage in the Ochoco Mountains of Oregon and built a log cabin. The cold harsh winters were beautiful. Time slowed and I discovered who I was and what was important in life. Simplicity became the factor. I found inner peace. I found strength and was forced to realize my weaknesses. Being by myself, I found I could survive comfortably in this spiritual solitude I called Home.

Materials: Cotton, hand dyed and commercial fabric, fused batting, cotton and King Tut threads. This piece was designed as half of what you see - the pattern then flipped to mirror image then flipped top to the bottom. Artist Statement: I enjoy the random feel of movement and push of color that I get when I hand draw the patterns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1609792075915-90E3AAANO0GB6JKW9DPB/forwebSandra-Wagner---Image2.jpg Sandra Wagner - Red Jacket Techniques: Pieced, appliqued and hand-painted. Materials: Cotton fabrics and thread Artist Statement: I love making Wearable Art and this was a fun piece to do. It started with my hand dyed fabric and grew from there. The black and white fabric was overpowering so I painted the red and gold into it. I changed the design of the back to break up the centerline. Fully lined. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1609792192538-OQEMXOA974GHVXUT0LV0/forwebSandra-Wagner---image3.jpg Sandra Wagner - Red - Back Detail https://www.saqaoregon.com/amanda-miller daily 0.75 2024-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/443a4b5e-c4fb-45ae-ae4b-69b900bad813/Amanda++Miller+-+Estuary.jpg Amanda Miller - Estuary 26” x 44” Techniques: Machine pieced, machine and hand quilted Materials: Commercial cotton Artist Statement: The estuaries of the Pacific coast are a bounty of plant and animal life. that sustains coastal ecosystems and nourishes the inhabitants of the region.

They provide habitat for shore birds and other coastal creatures, prevent erosion and protect inland ecosystems from damaging storm surges. The dune grass anchors the sand, helping maintain the barrier between land and sea.

In order to solve them we must look at every angle presented to us—different aspects of the problem itself, the pros and cons of possible solutions, the various consequences of each possible course of action. The composition moves the viewer from the surface of the problem to more in-depth analysis and, possibly, to areas of enlightenment.

The random plantings and warm colors mimic my upbeat mood as I bask in the summer’s break from the Oregon rain.

I was interested in capturing the play of light and shadow on the rock face, but felt the desert colors of the rock did not convey the drama of my emotional response to the cliffs. I was reminded on the line in the song "America" by Katherine Lee Bates about "purple mountains majesty" and the color scheme for this quilt crystallized for me. The purples and fuchsias echo the intensity of my reaction to the mountains and the richness of the rock formations.

Billboards of the three sailors with the NYC skyline in the background covered Times Square. “New York, New York, it’s a toddlin’ town” seemed the refrain of the day. This inspired me to continue a series of cityscape quilts, this one of New York, with the skyscrapers looming above pedestrians walking the streets in midtown Manhattan. The quilt’s title references a painting by Georgia O’Keefe, which inspired the large tilted building in the center of the quilt.

According to Newton the acceleration due to gravity is the same for both heavy and light objects, so, when dropped at the same time, in a vacuum, they reach the ground at the same time. However Einstein theorized that they are not falling, they are standing still, because no force is acting on them: he reasoned that if the background cannot be seen (or understood) then there is no way of knowing if the objects are being accelerated towards the earth. So he concluded they aren’t.

I am a keen birdwatcher so this was a wonderful jumping-off point for me. I played extensively with ice dyeing during the pandemic and this piece lent itself to a lot of hand stitching, including several skeins of green embroidery threads for the lichen and moss French knots.

This is another piece inspired by a photograph by Mike Williams of a belted kingfisher.

While the word ‘reverberations’ usually has negative connotations, this piece focused on some (smaller) positive reverberations: extensive time to experiment with dyeing, wet felting, and intuitive slow stitching. The whole cloth ice dyed fabric is the backdrop for the loose interpretation of the commonly seen virus graphic. Photographer: Mike Williams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1630351560600-T0XPAM3FTCL3INKCUHHT/forwebSue-Redhead---Image-04.jpg Sue Redhead - All From One 30" x 25.5" Techniques: fused, machine applique machine quilting Materials: commercial cotton batiks Artist Statement: This piece highlights our continents’ locations within the single ancient landmass of Pangaea: puzzle pieces in a global jigsaw. Pangaea contained no countries, nor unnatural borders, nor saw any wars for global domination: our current lands (as demarcated by humans) were seamless parts of one whole land. Earth’s present-day continents are continuing to break apart and scientists predict that, eventually, another supercontinent will form.

This piece was made to illustrate the poem for an online and traveling exhibition, called Poetry in Stitches, 'Lockdown', by the National Needlework Archive in the UK. The challenge was to illustrate a published poem about the lockdown. https://www.saqaoregon.com/to-do-in-sisters daily 0.75 2021-10-11 https://www.saqaoregon.com/conference-2021-latest-details daily 0.75 2021-10-10 https://www.saqaoregon.com/conference-2021-studio-tours daily 0.75 2021-10-10 https://www.saqaoregon.com/robyn-gold daily 0.75 2024-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/0ee0e103-9c21-4181-a438-fa224e936fc6/Robyn++Gold+-+Nature%27s+Renaissance.jpg Robyn Gold - Nature’s Renaissance 40” x 42” Techniques: Needle-turn and turned-edge appliqué, machine piecing; free motion quilting, embroidery. Materials: Commercial cottons, pearl cotton thread, buttons, Quilter’s Dream Orient batting. Photographer: John Stewart Artist Statement: Oregon’s recent wildfires have been devastating.

Several years ago, my husband and I were planning to buy a house. He had to be away for a month while we were looking, but his last words before he left on his trip were, “Don’t buy a yellow house.” Guess what color house turned out to be perfect for us (and that we purchased while he was away)? This quilt is named for my favorite number and for the street where my husband grew up.

I was the first of the five people in my group participating in the SAQA Central Oregon group’s Whisper Challenge for the 2020 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, so I had the freedom to design a quilt of my choice, as long as I used the same dimensions as the rest of the challenge entries.

Embellishments include beads, buttons, silk, painted lace, hand-dyed rickrack, an old coral necklace, shells, Razzle Dazzle thread, and yarn.

I wanted to capture the stunning landscapes in a quilt, but I wanted to add a roadrunner. Roadrunners usually show us drab colors so that they hide within their habitat, but they are such fascinating birds that I think they must have much more colorful inner lives. Following the example of Suzanne Marshall, who is incredibly good at finding textures in commercially printed fabrics to achieve the effects she desires, all the fabrics in my quilt are commercially printed cottons.

We were enjoying a summer evening at a friend's home along the Willamette River near Portland, Oregon, when most of the river activity calmed and the sun was setting across the river from our east bank location. To bring more drama to the view, I created the piece as if looking through a double-hung multi-paned window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/9962236f-1895-4dd3-9e21-768c5a610272/FiferP_BlueMountain_full.jpg Pat Fifer - Blue Mountain 25” x 43” Techniques: Raw edge applique, fused, painted, stitched.

The variety of blue-greens symbolize the minerals of turquoise and malachite, as well as oxidized copper, revealed as a result of the mining process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/120d2170-a10a-41b1-8866-290bf6d9565f/FiferP_Pele+and+the+Sea_full.jpg Pat Fifer - Pele and the Sea 32” x 42” Techniques: Fused cotton on canvas, painted, stitched.

We must move forward, there is no turning back or staying on the edge. In Oregon, we live on the edge of a volcanic zone, an earthquake fault line, a tsunami zone, on the edge of the continent. Whether staring down from the top of a mountain or standing on a beach, we watch as the sun dips below the same horizon. We are all on the edge -- be it physically, geographically emotionally, philosophically, in personality, or in style. SAQA Oregon artists were invited to interpret either in a representational or abstract way a response to On the Edge. https://www.saqaoregon.com/bridge-1 daily 0.75 2024-05-21 https://www.saqaoregon.com/new-page-3 daily 0.75 2024-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5b94ffc2ff61712d6f88f1/1553745210216-1TJN9N6VYTMXNJCONRGH/forwebBridge_Cover.jpg New Page - Bridge Oregon is a state filled with bridges ranging from the mythological Bridge of the Gods to the contemporary Tilikum Crossing. The concept of “Bridge”, though, is much broader. A bridge can be the symbolic image of chrysalis to butterfly. Bridges are a connection and a link. They are bonds and pathways—both physical and emotional—between people and things. A bridge joins and unites. It spans time and traverses space. It reconciles differences creating harmony. It represents progress, stability, hope and transition.
