Two Fibre Art Exhibits

Downtown Chandler was the site of two fibre arts exhibit openings. The town was fully decorated and hopping with activity on this third Friday of the week when they have their monthly outdoor Art Walk. Lots of artisans and writers with art and books for sale. Very interesting. 

The first exhibit we attended was, "Not Your Grandmothers Quilts" by Marla Hattenbraigh in the Vision Gallery. Marla is part of the fibre art group I belong to in Phoenix. I have been to her game and studio a few dufferent times to take workshops. She hand dyes and hand quilts all her pieces. Her work is very lively and fun!

The second show, "In Stitches", is curated by Marla and had humour as the theme. This was in the Chandler Centre for the Arts Gallery. It was very eclectic, if not somewhat disjointed. Interesting none the less. With works from a large number of fibre artist. Two from the Mavericks group.
