Hello Readers:
We are slowly making changes around here. The projects we had hoped to get off the ground have taken on different forms and priority. As of this writing, Vintage Works Zine will be shelved. It's a great idea but we're a bit short staffed at the moment so we are unable to shape the project as it was originally envisioned.
We have decided to continue Mixed Remnants. The site's layout will be revised, the offerings will be expanded, and a schedule will be established for postings. Hey, we will even include some awesome vintage from time to time.
Fiber Art Calls for Entry (FACFE) is due for a makeover. The layout shall remain clean and simple but a pop of color and a few new features will be added to keep it fresh. Many of you have opted to stay abreast of the updates to the site via our newsletter (powered by Feedblitz); we are especially excited by the growing list of followers on Twitter. FACFE is reaching its intended audience.
We encourage you to stay in touch. We would like to know what’s happening in your fiber world. In fact, next week, we will conduct a VERY BRIEF survey to gain some feedback but there is no need to wait — you should always feel free to send comments and suggestions by way of our contact form.
Before we wrap up, I want to point you in the direction of Textile Artist, Dionne Swift. She has a “debate” raging on her website regarding studio vs. online workshops. Check it out and let her know what you think.
We will be back soon.
Cheers,
Elise N.

François Schneider Foundation “Contemporary Talents” Competition
Deadline: December 15, 2012 (ONLINE)
“Contemporary Talents” Competition
François Schneider Foundation
Presentation of the theme: WATER
Water, essential to all life and to the development of mankind, is a multifaceted and yet singular element. It is symbolically one of the natural elements, with air, fire and earth, which make up the universe. It is at heart of mythology and religion. It is a sign and a symbol, and constantly changes form. Water is a natural resource, of course, but for a large part of mankind, it is the rarest asset.
Competition Rules
This competition is open to candidates of all nationalities, all ages, and in the following six disciplines of the plastic arts: painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography and video.
In the installation and sculpture categories, the artists have the possibility of submitting either existing works or projects. For the four other disciplines, only existing works may be presented. Each year, the François Schneider Foundation devotes to the “Contemporary Talents” competition a maximum budget of €300,000, which is divided into two parts: 150,000 € for the acquisition of seven works and another 150,000 € for the realisation of the works presented in project form - will reward
the seven artists’ projects, including the “Water Talent” award.
Organisation of the Competition
Artists are invited to submit their offerings on the water theme, realistic or utopian, figurative or abstract, whilst offering a singular and sensitive viewpoint on this theme.
All the proposals will be examined by several committees of experts - four pre-selection committees (each comprising two professionals qualified in their field: photo, video, painting/drawing, sculpture/installation) - who will examine the work of the 40 finalists.
The choice of finalists will be submitted to an International Grand Jury comprised of well-known personalities from the world of art who will select the seven winners.
Registration: until 15 December 2012
Online submission of candidatures: until 5 pm on 31 December 2012

Woven Together: Firestorm
Deadline: April 8, 2013 (POSTMARK) or (EMAIL)
Woven Together: Firestorm
Pikes Peak Weavers Guild of Colorado Springs
Business of Art Center
Manitou Springs, Colorado
June 21, 2013 to August 3, 2013
By early August, an astounding 42,933 wildfires had been entered into the U.S. database and 6.4 million acres had burned. The Waldo Canyon fire alone consumed two lives, 346 homes and 18, 247 acres. At its peak, 32,000 people were evacuated from Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and nearby communities. 2012 proved to be one of the western region’s worst fire seasons in decades.
As artists, how do we respond to disasters like these? We use our medium to create work that expresses the emotional turmoil of seeing, experiencing and surviving wildfires: horror, fear, loss, relief, gratitude and renewal. From all of these comes a commemoration, Woven Together: Firestorm.
Entries must contain handweaving, spinning, or dyeing techniques executed by the artist and must be finished objects (not yardage or skeins). Hand-manipulated fiber techniques such as basketry, kumihimo, and ply-split braiding are eligible for entry. Traditional and non-traditional weave structures, fibers, and dyes may be used for both functional and decorative textiles. Entries must be original, completed within the last two years, not executed under supervision or using a kit, and not previously exhibited or published.
Each artist may submit up to three entries. The fee is $15 per entry and is non-refundable.
Juror: Jeanne Steiner is a textile artist who has merged weaving with dyeing for over 35 years. She holds a B.F.A. in Art from Colorado State University and is currently serving as Weaving Instructor and Arts and Crafts Program Director at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

For this fall’s International Quilt Festival/Houston, we are launching our first of three Festival Pet Projects, and we are inviting YOU for this fall’s show to make fabric postcards that will sell for $20 each to benefit Friends for Life.
Take the Pet Postcard Pledge!
Would you be willing to make and donate a one-of-a-kind fabric postcard? I am hoping we get at least 500 fabric postcards, and if they all sell, that is $10,000! And wouldn’t it be fantastic if we got even more?
We encourage animal-themed fabric postcards but we certainly welcome and would appreciate other themes as well, such as abstracts, landscapes, floral pieces, etc. The point is to raise as much funds as we can!
If you are interested in making a fabric postcard (or two or three or more), here are the requirements:
• Each fabric postcard must be 4″ x 6″ and can have either a horizontal or vertical orientation. They should be stitched (hand or machine) and consist of a front, batting (or interfacing), and a back. As these postcards will not be going through the mail, it is OK if they are in excess of 1/8″ in thickness. So if you want to heavily embellish your postcard(s), go for it!
• You are not limited to making just one fabric postcard. Create as many fabric postcards as you like.
• On the back side of the fabric postcard, please sign your name and title your postcard. (Contact information is optional.)
• These postcards are due at the Quilts, Inc. office no later than Tuesday, October 23rd. Please note: this is a received-by date.
• You can mail as many fabric postcards as you would like, but please place them in a padded envelope. This way they will stay in pristine condition to be displayed at Festival.
Please mail them to:
