Gallery hours

JAPANESE QUILTS & MORE: Three exhibits continue through Oct. 5 at the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum, 703 S. Second St., La Conner: “Wishes Through Our Hands: Japanese Quilts”: “Quiltmaking is converting our wishes into tangible form through the use of our hands. It starts with pouring our wish and mind in the quilt for someone we care, for our own dreams or for serving our society … We sincerely hope you can read our wishes and thoughts, stitched and sewn in these quilts.” — Miwako Kimura. “Works of Junko Maeda”: Junko Maeda has been working with Japanese natural fiber textiles such as silk, linen and cotton for nearly 45 years. In the past several years, she has been inspired by handicraft called “Pojagi,” Korean women’s traditional patchwork handed down in the family from mother to daughter. Traditionally, a woman used scraps, worn fabrics, swatches collected from each member of the family. Junko has interpreted the construction, color and the beauty of Pojagi to her own style and created new artworks for this exhibit. “Fifty Years of Quiltmaking: Schlotterback Collection”: This exhibit features quilts and comforters pieced by Josie Teeter Schlotterback (1882-1974), a professional seamstress who left behind many examples of her work, including utility comforters made of suiting samples in dark colors suitable for everyday use, crazy quilts and colorful cotton quilts. The exhibit features Josie’s sewing trunk and sewing aids, including quilt blocks, patterns and other

memorabilia. Museum hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. $7, $5 students and military with ID, free for members and ages 11 and younger. 360-4664288 or laconnerquilts.org. EXHIBITIONS AT MoNA: New exhibits continue through Sept. 28 at the Museum of Northwest Art, 121 S. First St., La Conner: “Bradd Skubinna: Ten Ideas Worth Having”: Skubinna’s installation, drawings and mixed media inspired by consumer products and his surroundings will be shown in the Osberg and Safeco galleries. “Susan Skilling: Reading the World”: The show features new gouache paintings from Skilling’s studio. Her meditations of color, composition and content feature dense layering of subtle color with energetic highlights. “Benjamin Cobb: Natural Reflection”: Always fascinated by science and the natural world, Cobb’s most recent focus has been on the internal organs of the body. By creating abstract, stylized versions of stomachs, kidneys and lungs, he challenges the viewers’ thoughts and ideals of beauty. “Regional Perspectives: Nature to Manufacture from the Permanent Collection”: Discover how Northwest artists chronicle our environment, whether in the city or country. The exhibition includes works by Guy Anderson, Robert Buchanan, Kenneth Callahan, Lockwood Dennis, Richard Gilkey, Joseph Goldberg, Morris Graves, Paul Havas, Clayton James, Jack McLarty, Buster Simpson, Mark Tobey and Wesley Wehr. MoNA also features Walt Disney artist Bob Patterson‘s large painting of the La Conner waterfront. Continued on Pages 6 and 7
