Gastronomy
SAQA Global Exhibition
Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA)
On loan from the Studio Art Quilt Associates, “Gastronomy” is the study of the relationship between food and culture, featuring not only the bountiful gifts from nature, but a gift from the human hand. The art of preparing unique, delicate food is a tradition passed from generation to generation around the world. Combining innovative ingredients, colors, textures, and flavors creates dishes pleasing to both the palette and the eye.
This unique traveling exhibit features the work of 40 globally diverse artists and was juried by sisters, Cecelia and Merce for Studio Art Quilt Associates.

Bits and Pieces: The Bilious Green Fight
Knot Even Quilters (KEQ)
Tecumseh, MI
Ann Stamm Merrell was a fiber artist who fought a hard battle against cancer. She came to regard 'bilious green' as a symbol of her fight and we are challenged to use a bit of that color in our final pieces. We selected bits and pieces from the leftovers of her textile art and built our art based upon her starts. This challenge was a bridge to honor those who built textile art before us and gave us a base upon which we will continue to grow our art.
Knot Even Quilters
Our group is not a guild. We are an informal textile arts group, looking to learn from each other and spark new ideas for our creative endeavors. KEQ stands for Knot Even Quilters, from our beginning days as primarily quilters looking to expand our knowledge and skills. Our membership is free, always open and the numbers vary but usually we have 10-15 people involved at any one time. We are based in Tecumseh and currently meet on the third Thursday of the month at noon at Timeless Stitches.
