Links to other groups doing similar things

Here are a few leads to other groups from the Twelve by Twelve group blog:

The 12 by 12 Project are now up to their sixth theme - 'Chaos'.
12 Connected are a new group of fibre artists that have banded together to create a series of twelve 11" x 17" art quilts over a two year period.  The first theme is 'Sanctuary' and they are due to shre their complated quilts any day now.
Art for 12 revealed their fur-themed quilts at the end of 2009 and are now exploring the theme 'Connected'.  Their blog is in Dutch but there's a translation widget in the side bar.
There are all sorts of wonderful mandala quilts over at Art Quilts Around the World, maybe they were channelling Terry's Twelth of Twelve work.
Digital to Textile: 8 Views is a new challenge that Karen belongs to. Every two months, after a sumptuous pot luck supper, one of the group members disseminates a black and white photo to the group.  Each artist using textiles as the primary medium, will create a work using that photo as inspiration.  The maximum perimeter is 122 inches.  At the dinner held in the month following receipt of the photo, they share their project-in-progress and critique each other's work.
Terri has also joined a new theme challenge group - Fiberactions.  They are working in a 16" x 20 " format.  their first theme was 'Initiative' and now they are exploring 'Communication'.

  2. These links are great though a bit depressing for me, bogged down in our first challenge as I am.

  3. almost agree with marion. fabulous work but feeling overwhelmed. my wondeful hobby of mixed media and fibre art is now a career with deadlines and demands - coupled with huge domestic change doesn't make for a happy camper. nevertheless, fondling fabric and mixed media always fixes me up. cheers
