COMMON THREADS NOVEMBER MEETING

On November 13, we held an exciting meeting, celebrating the completion of the first phase of our FIBER FASCINATION : FIBER AS ART show. Members submitted their work earlier in the day and the pieces were judged by Ruth Holm, a fiber artist living in Sarasota, Florida.

Many members wore flowery Monet hats made by member Judy Rehill.

Linda explained the judging and handed out the judges comments to members who wanted them. VERY GOOD FEEDBACK!

We welcomed new members-who had some very wonderful additions to our show and we gave out great raffle prizes.

Detail of Rhapsody on a Theme

Common Threads member Patricia Turner announced that her piece "Rhapsody on a Theme" was recently purchased by Edison College for their permanent collection in the Keystone Gallery. The piece will be unveiled on November 8, in the Edison auditorium. The unveiling will be held in conjunction with a ceremony honoring Maestra Janita Hauk, the symphony conductor of 17 years, who passed away this summer.  You can view Patricia's silk fiber piece after November 9 in the Keystone Gallery.

Congratulations Patricia, Can't wait to see this piece close up!
