Uncommon Threads is a network of art quilters of 15 fiber artists from the surrounding Springfield area working in the contemporary art quilt medium. Each fiber artist maintains an individual style of work and subject matter.
About Uncommon Threads
The individual artists’ works are informed by a variety of inspirations, ranging from the natural world of trees, gardens, animals, mountains and oceans to the abstract world of adventures, dreams and experiences.
Each style can include realism, abstract and portraiture and can be serious or comedic. The medium lends itself to a wide variety of techniques or treatments, including but not limited to dyeing, painting, cutting or tearing, fusing or seaming. The art pieces are often embellished by hand or machine sewing or embroidery.
Individual members have exhibited locally, nationally and internationally, receiving varied awards. These artists have established sales histories with work in public, private and corporate collections. Some members have taught art and design at the university level; some teach workshops nationally and internationally, both in physical venues and online.

Pam, glad we got to see your great show and YOU (best of all!) Thanks for taking time to run over and see the Evangel show.
Thank you so much for visiting our exhibit, photographing it and putting it on your blog.

It’s a nice exhibition Dianna, and I was glad for an opportunity to visit Evangel’s art gallery. Even though it’s very near our studio, I had never been there!
Thanks for the images of the show. Because we are now caregivers for my mom it is hard to leave town for events like this. I appreciate getting to see the show. Hope you are doing well.
Glad to help out Susan. I’m hoping a little more publicity will remind people to see it before the show comes down.
Thank you for including us on your site and supporting us in this way.
Glad to help Vivian!
How nice of you to put our exhibit on your blog. You’re a sweetie. xoxo
Emmie, I was glad you set up to meet me at my show, then we could go over to Evangel together. The exhibits are very close together, not only in time but location!
