The 3-in-1 fiber and stitch exhibit at the Coos Bay Art Museum in Coos Bay, OR can now be seen online here. Just click on the Tour The Exhibit link next to each exhibit name. 

The New Focus art quilt exhibit, including my artwork above, consists of 50 small format art quilts from invited artists from five countries.

Also being shown is Transformations ’08:  Icons and Imagery, a traveling juried exhibit from Studio Art Quilt Associates.

Stitch, contemporary works of fiber art by five Oregon artists, rounds out this bonanza of stitch and fiber exhibits.
