Jennifer and I drove to Melbourne Saturday for an afternoon with other Florida members of Studio Art Quilt Associates. Events were at the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts at Florida Institute of Technology, where there is a show of selections from Masters: Art Quilts 2. Martha Sielman, curator of the show, gave a one-hour tour, highlighting every other quilt on the wall. (It would have taken two hours to cover all of them, she said.) Some things (trends?) I liked were: silk and fewer layers (two -- or even one), and texture. incorporating twigs. There was lots more. You can see everything in the Masters 2 book from Lark Crafts. I wish I had counted the people and also the quilts -- but I didn't. The show closes Aug. 24.
