NW Vibes
What is it that makes the Northwest unique from the rest of the country? There is a reason we have chosen to live here; is it the beauty of the landscape, the variation of the skies and weather, the character of the cities, or that you can get the best cup of coffee in the country at virtually every corner? This show represents what makes living in the Northwest special to us.
Congratulations, Bonnie Bucknam!

Maude Kerns Art Center & Gallery, Eugene
Here's a great report on the Eugene showing of "Birds Eye View" from Bonnie Bucknam:
My friend Mary and I took a drive down to Eugene, Oregon, yesterday to see our quilts at the Maude Kerns Art Center. It was a great day. We had all kinds of weather, from pouring rain, to hail, to sunny blue skies. The gallery is located on the university campus in an old renovated church.
The show, Fiber2 (really Fiber "squared" or to the 2nd power - I can't insert the correct character here) consisted of High Fiber Diet's Bird's Eye View show plus two exhibits by the Eugene fiber group Loosely Bound. The local public radio station, KLCC, did a review of the show on February 27, 2011. Click here to hear the review. Click on the Maude Kerns line near the top of the listings.
The gallery has a small gift shop with lots of unique items, many by the artists showing in the gallery. In one corner they made a nice exhibit of my quilts, paintings and books. Mary's collage cards are on the rack.
This grouping is small quilts made by the Loosely Bound artists. What a great way to display small works. Each was mounted on an 8" x 8" wooden cradle board that had been painted black. The unity of color and the mounting technique really pulled together these works by different artists. Each work was for sale individually, and the work I saw was priced from $50 to $75.
The show is worth seeing and is up for only a few more days, until March 25th. Do try to stop by if you are in the area.
