Creativity a Common Thread For Dallas Area Fiber Artists

Quilters, weavers, and seamstresses showed off their work during the 53rd annual show of the Dallas Area Fiber Artists, held this summer at CC Young Senior Living.

The show concluded with the FUNtastic Fiber Meet the Artist reception on Aug. 12.

“The FUNtastic Fiber exhibit allows CC Young residents and members of the Dallas community to experience truly unique and original art while visiting with family or strolling the garden gallery,” said Brian Parman, director of CC Young’s The Point & Pavilion.

Featured artists included Carolyn Skei, 88, a renowned quilter; Christine Miller, 69, the author of Weaving with Wire; Joann Musso, 90, a seamstress who’s sewn for the Chinese Royal family; and Andie Comini, age not provided, who beautifully arranged paint chips to depict daffodils on the underside of an ironing board for her piece, Daffiest DAFA Daffodils
