Hello all,

I trust your Thanksgiving was wonderful, I have to admit it arrived before I expected it! Which means that our next Parlor Meeting is just a week away.Would love to see you there. 

Again, for those of you who live close enough to attend, or are up for a road trip, the Parlor Meeting will take place in Lititz, PA at the General Sutter Inn on Sunday, December 8, 2013 starting at 12:30pm. Please RSVP to me (meredithea@verizon.net) by Thursday, Dec. 5, so I can make arrangements with the Inn.


We will follow the same format as before, enjoying lunch and our latest discoveries followed by a presentation of our work. Either for  sharing only or for input from the group.

Seeing a lot of art lately, I may have hit overload! So much is out there, I find it a bit of a challenge to figure out where I fit in. So I am very interested in learning what our fiberart presenters are going to share with us at PA SAQA Symposium, WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?, held on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at the Wayne Art Center in conjunction with the opening of the ART QUILT ELEMENTS Show. The presentations by fiber artists will address how they have made a life for themselves in fiber, and as all have come to it from different paths I am hoping to get some insight that will help me move forward in my fiber life. Gives me hope! Also there will be information from the jurors about how they choose pieces for a show, and a tour of the show with them, as well as a session on critiques. More information about the panels for the Symposium, pricing and signup will follow. Stay tuned.

Also a reminder,the deadline for submitting an entry for the SAQA 2014 trunk show celebrating SAQA's 25th anniversary is January 31, 2014. Just like Thanksgiving, I'm sure this deadline will be here before I expect it!
