A Moose and a Museum (Fiber Art)

Shortly after I posted last, my son called and told me where to find a moose.  My 2 oldest grandkids and I drove over to his friends home and saw the moose.

Every time I've come to Anchorage, I've been lucky enough to see a moose (yes, in city limits).  

This morning, my daughter-in-law and I took the grandkids to the Anchorage Museum.  While the kids were playing with friends in the kids area, I checked out some of the other exhibits.  I found lots of 'fiber arts' displayed and took some photos to share.  There were several different quilts displayed, including a temperature quilt.  Everything I took photos of are made by Alaskan artists.

A lady approached me while I was in one of the exhibit rooms and offered me a greeting card as a memento of my visit to the museum.  The greeting card was of one of the exhibit pieces. The lady was the artist.  I could see a quilt in this card/art.

There were other fiber arts in the museum, too, that I thought you might be interested in seeing.

There was a painting that looked like a quilt.

There was quite a bit of artwork that was made by students.  Some of the items were fiber art.

There was even a barn quilt by one class of students.  They are working with a group that has a barn quilt trail.

This last one is just because I thought it was cool (no fiber art in it).

I still haven't done any stitching since I got off the plane.  I doubt I'll get any done until I get back on the plane Saturday.  I hope you are getting some stitching done.
