The work and talents of an eclectic collection of fibre artists will fully bloom at Consider the Lilies XXI.

This will mark the 21st show for the group, said Linda Danielson, one of the founding members of Fibres and Beyond. The group formed after Elizabeth Tanner, another founding member, and several other artists got together following a gallery show in 2002.

They began meeting monthly to socialize and discuss their work, which planted the seeds for the first version of Consider the Lilies, Danielson noted. The name was inspired by the lilies that flourish in the old cemetery at St. MaryB次元官网网址檚 in Metchosin.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 nice to get together with a group that knows who you are, and you donB次元官网网址檛 have to explain who you are to everybody,B次元官网网址� Danielson noted in a previous interview with Black Press. B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檙e not strangers. ItB次元官网网址檚 really important to each of us in our lives.B次元官网网址�
