Weekly update: quilt show




We went to the Chicago Botanic Garden Sunday morning to see  the  Fine Art of Fiber.  It's an annual collaboration of Illinois Quilters, Inc., North Suburban Needlearts Guild, and the Weaver's Guild of the North Shore.  

I have artists' statements for most of these if you'd like to know more.  




The theme for this year's Explorations in Fiber was "Inspiration."  Here are some of the selections. 



We went into one of the greenhouses.  Upper right:  cacao pods.

Outside:  roses are still in bloom. 

Work crews were setting up for Lightscape, the holiday light show that opens November 15.  
Even though there's nothing on my design wall, I'm linking up with  Design Wall Monday!

  7. The fiber show looks spectacular, with so much variety. The fiber "drawings" always amaze me. Did you have favorites from the show, Nann?
