Ok I love the Fitchburg Art Museum, FAM, and I love quilts, maybe more. So I thought I would combine the 2, in one of another things I love, Art In Bloom at the museum. Once a year we have this show, as I am a Docent and I can say I love it, and also because I asked if I could have a quilt show and they agreed. I do help with some stuff there. The reason I thought this was a great idea is because most of us quilt something with flowers in it and all of us love flowers so the 2 mix well. Museums need other ways to attract you to them because the art alone can't sell itself unless you know it is there. You should check us out as we have wonderful paintings, sculptures and events at the FAM and you need to see it to believe that a city such as Fitchburg, Ma could have such a wonderful collection, especially as it was started by a woman, Eleanor Norcross. If you don't support these small private museums they will cease to exist and that would be awful. Just as if you don't support your local quilt stores they will disappear and you will be left with the chains, that are good but not special.
My show at the FAM, May 4th - 6th, 2012, will be inspiring and all about Art in Bloom, truly Quilted Blooms that are beautiful, wonderful, inspiring with techniques you want to copy!
You must come and experience all the Blooming arts in one place
