Gallery opportunity to showcase your gourds.

a "gourd head" for years herself, she now has the opportunity to
exhibit gourds in her gallery and would like to extend the invitation
to the Alabama Gourd Society members to place some of their work in the
gallery. If anyone is interested please call her at Mountainview

NEWS from AROUND the GOURD
Look what the Gourd Artist Guild has been up
to...
The Gourd Artist’s Guild is a large group of Gourd heads from all
around the world, who chat together sharing ideas, techniques, and
friendship through John Stacy's Patch Pal e-mail list. One hundred and
twelve Gourd artists from three countries; United States, Australia,
and Canada have united to create the
WORLD'S FIRST GOURDPATCH QUILT. Each of the artists applied their
particular artistic style to a flat 4"x4" gourd tile. Lynette Dawson
and daughter, Margaret Schroeder, are stitching it together.
Framework has been constructed and the project is well under way. The
Quilt will make its debut on April 3-4, 2004 at the Indiana Gourd Show
in Kokomo, Indiana. The next showing for the quilt will be the 2004
Gourd
Artists Gathering on May 21-23, 2004 in Cherokee, NC. To learn more

This site will be updated periodically so visit often. New pictures and
updates of the construction will be added as they are available.
