"Picnic in May on Lilac Way"
The winner of the Second Place ribbon in the Seed Beed category of the Bead Dreams competition at the Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee, June 2013. |
I am so very excited to announce that I have been invited to participate in the Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts "Studio: HERE" program this year! In this curated exhibit, a practicing Minnesota artist is installed in a small studio space in the middle of the gallery show, to providing a window into the WORK of creating art. The fair runs 12 days, and 12 artists (one for each day) from a range of disciplines are invited to spend 12 hours, working and interacting with gallery visitors. My day in the Fine Arts gallery is Friday August 30th from 9a.m. to 9 p.m. Stop by to say hello. Wear your UMBS shirt if you have one, and help me move forward my personal mission to make sure that there is room for bead art in the beautiful Fine Arts Gallery each year. |

UMBS Member wins Quilting Award!
Many UMBS members are also involved in other crafts, but how many of us have ever had our name printed on a T-Shirt that tells what award you have won? Minnesota Quilters have chosen Maxine Rosenthal as the Quilter of Year for 2012. Maxine is the author of 'One Block Wonders', and has also co-authored 'One Block Wonders - Encore' and 'One Block Wonders - Cubed'. These books give an assortment of ideas for making kaleidoscopic quilts. UMBS member Maxine Rosenthal proudly wears the T-Shirt pictured at the right. Just in case you cannot read the wording, it says: Maxine Rosenthal 2012 Quilter of the Year. Minnesota Quilters, Inc and shows a portion of the quilt pictured above. |
