QUILTS!
Our December show features Quilts from: Kim Eichler-Messmer

Kim grew up in Iowa. She learned how to sew in 5th grade when she made a quilt with her father’s faded out old shirts. She went on to study engineering, Spanish, Portuguese, drawing, and printmaking before taking a textiles class in 2000. Kim received an MFA in textiles from the University of Kanas in 2007. She was an Artist in Residence at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Kim currently lives in Kansas City where she does math daily, grows tomatoes, hugs cats, and teaches surface design and quilting in the Fiber department of the Kansas City Art Institute.

About the Quilts:
Kim creates hand-made, one of a kind quilts with a dual purpose. They are equally at home on a bed (or in a crib) or on the wall. Inspired by color theory, landscape, and gradations, I hand dye all of my own fabric. The method I use is scientific, based on a ratio of weight of dye to weight of fabric to produce accurate, reproducible colors with minimal dye waste. I use only the highest quality quilter’s cotton or Kona cotton for the tops, backs, and binding, cotton quilting thread, and 100% cotton batting that is free of chemicals, glues and resins.
Her landscape quilts are inspired by the sky in the Midwest, especially right before or after a thunderstorm.

We had the pleasure to host a chili dinner with the Third Street Theatre for the Small Town Studio recently. It was a pleasant fall evening and the chili was hot in the "piazza". The movie was a favorite around these parts, "The Man Who Planted Trees".

One year ago this month, three students spent three days to create a Pop-up Gallery here in Eureka. They were part of the Small Town Studio at Kansas State University's College of Architecture, Planning and Design. We are still here, in fact we are just getting warmed up! The gallery has made great memories this last year, thanks Allison, Bryce and Christy!

This is "Pop-up Gallery M" by Larry Coleman on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

We had a great show in November featuring work by David Wagner.
David is a practicing architect and artist and has been a Kansas City resident for three years. He studied both architecture and fine arts at Iowa State University and graduated in 2009. He has been featured in group shows across Iowa, but this marked his first solo exhibit. With an eye for detail his work often focuses on people, landscape, and the built environment. The use of layers and texture both in application and subject matter is a unifying theme.
