News from Helene Kusnitz

Helene Kusnitz, West Hempstead, NY has a quilt “Hear the Color See the Sound”, traveling as part of the Signature Art Quilters special exhibit called “7”, with the Mancuso Brothers Quilt Show through November 2011. The inspiration for this quilt was from reading about people with a form of Synesthesia, those who can see a color when they hear a sound.

Jane Dunnewold at Schweinfurth

The evening of July 21, 2011 saw an informal meeting of many SAQA members at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Gallery when Jane Dunnewold gave a tour of her work on view there in Auburn, New York. Jeanne Simpson and Pat Pauly, co-reps for the upstate region of New York, greeted all who attended and introduced many to the benefits of membership. With a great number of attendees from Quilting By the Lake, a Schweinfurth sponsored program where Jane Dunnewold was one of the week's faculty, as well as the additional audience of SAQA members, it was quite an event.
