“Meadowood Stitched” opens Oct. 1st

One hallway where “Meadowood Stitched” is exhibited
Today we hung the “Meadowood Stitched,” exhibition at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden near Charlotte. It is a beautiful venue. This is the second year we have exhibited our work here. The exhibition officially opens tomorrow, and Nancy G Cook will be there demonstrating how she creates her work. 

P.J. Howard was among the first of us to arrive. Does she look prepared, or what? I love her t-shirt; it says, “I make stuff.”


We got to work. First we laid out all the pieces on the floor, and decided what should go where. Then we hung the pieces and took a preliminary look. Here is DeLane Rosenau hanging her lovely felted wool piece:
 

After determining correct placement, P.J. and Janet A. Lasher measured to make sure that the pieces were all hanging at the right height:



Nancy (right) worked out details with Cynthia Klemmer, DSBG’s director of education:
