President’s Letter by Greg Katz
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or
far away.” ‐ Henry David Thoreau It has been an interesting few months politically to say the least. In addition, within our own community there has been a flutter of activity. We’ve had a call for entries for the show in southern Colorado and the opportunity to become a part of FRCQ’s new portfolio. In addition to the FRCQ opportunities, on the national scale we had the submission deadline for Quilt National. So why am bringing up these “juried” shows? I got to thinking about what it means for each of as artists to be validated for the work we create. It may seem like these opportunities are competitions but that’s not really the case. They are about telling a story. The juror in each show has a story they want to tell and that happens through the pieces they select. I really want to stress this point because if you don’t get accepted into a show it may seem like a personal rejection when in fact you just need to find the story that matches your art. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that envy doesn’t enter the picture. I’m a realist and I understand that the green‐eyed monster can certainly have its way with me, leading me to those self‐deprecating remarks we’re told to avoid during show‐and‐tell. It’s human nature to want to be accepted. It’s human nature to want to be seen and heard. If you weren’t selected to be part of a juror’s story what will you do moving forward? How will you create your own story? Do you know the story you want to tell? Every day I have the opportunity to speak with artists across the country about the drummer they hear. When you become friends with the drummer in your heart, your art will reflect your vision, your creativity and your gifts. It’s important that each of us define “success”. Don’t rely on the dictionary or the resume of another artist. Sit, think, and feel what it means for you to be the success you are currently and the success you will become down the road. I’ve come to understand that I keep pace with my companions by sharing my love of art, my devotion to creativity and by sharing a world of possibility with each of you.

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to the opening of a show by a group of artists who have banded together to shake up the art world. Their intention was to turn their support, encouragement and edu‐cation of one another into a feast for the eyes. Un‐common Cloth a group of textile artists who banded together through FRCQ decided to take their cama‐raderie beyond the studio and put it out for the world to see and appreciate. Before I speak about the show, I’d like to offer a big kudos to the mem‐bers of Uncommon Cloth: Susan Brooks, Lili Chris‐tensen, Lorri Flint, Barb Frey, Jeanne Gray, Mary Quinn, Sara Rockinger, and Joan Sowada. The artists decided to challenge themselves by first brainstorming ideas for themes and then selecting themes that would be translated into works of art. Whenever I attend exhibits I usually scan the room and then allow the attraction factor to draw me in to specific works of art. Having the work grouped by theme allows us as viewers to see the true meaning of interpretation. I think that’s one of the greatest gifts this group offers one another is the opportunity to find their voice and create art that reflects who they are and they walk in the world. The artists were all gracious hosts as they greeted guests. I spoke to most of the artists one‐on‐one and to my amazement (I have a lot of experience speaking to artists about their work), these artists were able to give voice to their art. They all had sto‐ries about each piece and for me when you pair a story with the art it brings the work to life! You could see the passion, the commitment to their per‐sonal process and their commitment to their collec‐tive consciousness as artists. That’s the power of a design group! The theme that expressed the diversity in the group is the Tree themed work. One of the reasons this grouping is so captivating is that every member of the group was represented in the display. Having the opportunity to see eight pieces and how each artist could stand out in a group of work is com‐mendable. Giving us, the viewer, the opportunity to

peak into their design process as a group invigorates creativity and proves that the group experience is both educational, challenging and a catalyst for fu‐ture work. I hope you get to see “Beyond the Block” at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder because it pro‐vides a wealth of inspiration for anyone beginning their art career. It also punctuates the fact that no matter if you’re just beginning your life as an artist or walking this world as a “working artist” the sup‐port of others will push you beyond what you be‐lieve today is the border of your creativity. Thanks for the invite!
Design Explorations for the Creative Quilter Katie Pasquini Masopust
2008, C&T Publications, Lafayette CA I have long appreciated the quilts of Katie Pasquini Masopust, and have always admired how she changes her quilt styles so often — and with such success. Her newest book is just out and is stunning. Starting with a comprehensive discussion of color, fresh ways to approach composition, and the usual discussion of tools and supplies, it ends with con‐struction, and making patterns. The early part of the book has some nice and informative guides to layout styles, focal points, space, scale, and visual path‐ways, which are quite useful, especially for newcomers to art quilts. Through‐out the book you will get a great lesson on value changes by looking at the au‐thor’s own quilts. But the heart of this book is a series of ten explorations into design compo‐nents such as shape, line, repetition, and then different ways to develop designs using simple painting techniques. The exploration of shapes shows student design studies and then their final quilts, and discusses steps to follow to achieve a great design. Another chapter explores subject detail, where you are guided to focus in on an image using framing or cropping strips, tracing that isolated spot on a piece of acetate, then enlarging it to the size you want and making tem‐plates for your fabric. For each topic the class samples and their preliminary studies are terrific. One piece I like is based of the foam from waves crashing on a rock. An exploration of repetition proceeds similarly, and perhaps my favorite quilt is Katie’s Sedona Cactus, which is shown on the cover of the book and focuses on a blooming cactus. Enlarged and resized portions of the original image (Katie calls them cubes) form fractured mini quilts and surround the original image appliqué. She gives clear instructions throughout to step you through her design process. Painting on paper offers several fresh ways to approach design, and the quilts from these experiments are wonderful. The innovative quilts shown all through the book have sprung from very simple design methods. This is a beautifully illustrated and clearly written workbook to guide you to great quilt designs, and while some quilts are more intricate than others, there should be a few processes that interest you. I think her procedures can be adapted to fusing appliqué methods, which simplify some of the complex designs. What a terrific present to give or receive during the Holiday season.

2009 FRCQ Exhibit Opportunity
The Connecting Threads Entry deadline: 20 Jan 2009
An FRCQ exhibit of 2 and 3‐dimensional wall quilts, diptychs, triptychs, wearable art and non‐functional 3‐dimensional fiber art
hosted by: The Longmont Museum, Longmont, Colorado (see entry form in this newsletter)
“The Agony and Ecstasy of Creating Art” Speaker: Patty Hawkins
Inside FRCQ, October 20, 2008 The making of art is an expression of passion for Patty Hawkins. The subject matter and ideas she ex‐plores reflect her love of the outdoors and the var‐ied landscape around her. She often begins with photographs of places or objects that interest her, and proceeds from that concrete beginning to ex‐amine and probe, producing something that reflects but doesn't imitate the landscape. She encouraged the audience to think about the photos they like to take and to acknowledge what these photos might tell about their deep interests and sources of inspi‐ration. Patty began her presentation with a series of images that showed the process she used to produce a wonderful quilt entitled Survivor. We all watched in fascination as she demonstrated how she began with a rough pencil sketch of a dying tree and worked her way to the finished product. The route to completion had many false starts and involved considerable experimentation with basic design, color, mood and contrast. Using hand‐dyed and silk‐screened fabrics she solved various aesthetic prob‐lems through constant struggling until she found the solution that resonated and satisfied. Patty is fascinated with trying different techniques and materials. Cheesecloth and tulle, bubble wrap and bits of plastic, corrugated cardboard and a vari‐ety of dyes are some basics for starters. She adds to these to include potato dextrin, bleach, pole wrap shabori and monoprinting to increase the wealth of creative opportunity. At the same time she searches for solutions that simplify, finding beauty in imper‐fection and inspiration from Wabi Sabi: The Art of Everyday Life. In addition to Survivor, Patty showed several other pieces she has completed, and many samples of works in progress. Outstanding among them is the
landscape she is working on as part of her new status as Artist in Residence for Larimer County. Her hand‐dyed fabrics bring depth and life to the moun‐tain range she depicts in a striking horizontal for‐mat. She encouraged us to try journal quilting, making small samples on a regular basis, to play with ideas and techniques and critique one Another’s work. One of the great joys of the creative process for Patty is learning from others and sharing what she has learned. We all benefitted from that sharing and left the meeting with heads spinning with new ideas, new techniques and renewed joy in the art that fabrics make possible. Thank you, Patty!
