If you’re in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area this summer, be sure to check out this show titled Devotion to Thread. The show features the work of 15 artists working in a variety of mediums and methods, with the common "thread" of thread in their work. (Jenny Hart, my all-time favorite embroidery artist and owner of Sublime Stitching, is one of those featured.)

Faythe Levine, the show’s curator, says, “My hope for this show is that the viewer will not only walks away with a new appreciation of using hand and machine embroidery, sewing, needlework, and handcraft within art, but will also feel inspired to go home and create.”

The show runs until June 14, 2008. And if you’re not going to be able to make it up to the Dairy State by then, check out these images on Faythe Levine’s Flicker site. I have to admit that one of my favorites is the gun-toting Sunbonnet Sue.

Until next time,
Christine
