RANDOM THOUGHTS
As artists we are continually getting ideas for designs that may or may not be suitable for an art piece. When these ideas pop up we make sketches to develop these ideas further.
When the sketch is worthy the design may develop further into a piece of art. Some ideas call for making a large piece —too large to jump into right away without further exploration or development so a small scale fabric sketch is the perfect next step to test fabric choices and other design details. Many ideas are perfectly suited for small scale execution.
Central Iowa Textile Artists
This small Iowa group of 13 has been together for about 25 years, sharing techniques and learning from each other. Although some members have moved on and others have replaced them, we continue without any formal structure. We are a small group whose shared goal is educating the public about our art form through exhibitions. All group members are accomplished artists and quilters, and many are teachers and authors, and our works have appeared in many publications.
