Fibers Unlimited Artists

(Click on photo to enlarge)

Here are the wonderful members of Fibers Unlimited, to which I belong. They are, from Left to Right:
Polly Miller, Tina Aumiller, MaryLou Pepe, Pat Dolan, Irmgard Lee, Nancy Silverman, and Janet Lindsay.

The photo was taken my MaryLou's husband, Peter, at our opening reception, Foxdale Village, State College, PA on August 21st. The exhibit will remain up through Monday, October 10th, Columbus Day and is open to the public.

Our "Fibers Unlimited" Art Exhibit 2016!

Our opening reception yesterday at Foxdale Village was a huge success. Foxdale outdid itself with the food preparations - photo below! And we were delighted with how many people came to the opening! Lots of questions were asked - particularly "how did you DO that?" and "what did you use to make that?" It was a great party.

Here are the photos of the exhibit following the hanging last Thursday. I'll do my best to identify the artist for each piece. The members of our group are: Tina Aumiller (fine embroidery as well as quilting); Irmgard Lee (color artist extraordinaire); Janet Lindsay (batik & quilt artist); Polly Miller (applique genius); MaryLou Pepe (award-winning quilt artist); Nancy Silverman (creativity specialist); and myself.

Upcoming Art Exhibit!!!

Our local newspaper, the Centre Daily Times (in Centre County, Pennsylvania) today published an article about our Fiber Unlimited's upcoming art exhibit at Foxdale Village in State College, PA. Unfortunately, the link will not post here.

It's a fairly good article, although it fails to mention the names of all seven of our members. So here we all are:

Polly Miller; Tina Aumiller; MaryLou Pepe; Pat Dolan; Irmgard Lee; Nancy Silverman; and Janet Lindsay.

So this week we all are busy with our preparations - hanging will be on Thursday and an open house sponsored by Foxdale Village is next Sunday, August 21 from 3:30-5:00pm. See here for details.

Stay tuned for updates!
