The exhibition Creative Passion and Stitch gives a fascinating glimpse into an imaginative world of five graduates from the Gail Harker Center for Creative Arts. They are exhibiting their original design work and experimental stitch techniques in an old world Victorian atmosphere at the Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum in La Conner, Washington. Penny Peters, the 5 graduates and I had a great time hanging the artwork for 2 days before the opening. The five graduates include Dianne Corso of Anacortes, WA, Isabel Parker of Port Alberni, BC, Canada, Marie Plakos of Langley, WA, Susan Sasnett of Seattle, WA and Terri Shinn of Snohomish, WA. The exhibition at the Museum is on now until Dec. 30, 2017. Check out the Museum’s website for opening hours and other exhibits on at the same time. Allow yourself a leisurely day as there is so much to look at. Here are a few photos below of the Exhibit opening and artwork from the students.

I am so glad it is on through the end of December. I will definitely have to check it out when I come over for class in December.
