Introduction
Linda Fowler and Nancy Crow founded the annual "Quilt Surface Design Symposium" (QSDS) in 1990. The symposium is currently directed by Tracy Rieger, who aspires to bring together people in a sharing environment in order to work intensely on their quilts with some of the best teachers in the world.
This symposium aims to connect the participants with other innovative quilt artists from around the world in order to exchange ideas, gain new perspectives and to stretch one’s creative potential. The symposium enables participants to find the latest trends in fabric design in order to improve their artwork. A broad range of unique fabrics, supplies and embellishments are available every day in the Vendor Mall that debuts the latest fabrics designed for quilt making.
The symposium’s classes are held at the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) - located in downtown Columbus. It is adjacent to the Columbus Museum of Art and Columbus State College. There is twenty-four-hour security and on-site campus parking. The state-of-the art studio classrooms are just steps away from the new dormitory and cafeteria. Hence most participants would need to walk just 50 yards a day. All buildings are handicap-accessible.
The twenty-second Annual QSDS was held in 2012. It welcomed all levels of quilt artists, traditional quilters, textile artists, and surface designers. Anyone interested in working with fabric and ready to challenge the boundaries between what is considered craft and fine-art. Classes were held in composition, color, design, embroidery, appliqué, hand quilting, machine quilting, piecing, dyeing, tie-dye, batik, bead embellishment and creating realism with fabrics.
Each year QSDS has an annual competition - the purpose of which is to encourage the production of unusual fabrics. This juried competition of excellent hand-dyed, printed, batik, discharged and painted fabrics showcases the most current trends in surface design on silk, cotton and wool. The QSDS Fabric Show was exhibited at the University Plaza Conference Centre, Oval Room, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
The following images feature some of my fabric lengths that have been juried, exhibited and awarded prizes at various QSDS Fabric Shows. These fabric lengths were specifically designed for the production of wearable art (e.g. scarves, clothes etc.) or to feature as a component in the production of art quilts; that is, they are not in themselves specific artworks and so they can be readily cut by the purchaser into different shaped sizes to suit their particular needs. Hence, they are labeled as fabric lengths rather than ArtCloth works. Nevertheless, the Australian collector who purchased - Uluru Sunset - has it hung on a hall wall facing a double-door front entrance.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and comments ! I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed reading about the QSDS symposium and seeing some of my fabric lengths that have been exhibited at the QSDS Fabric Shows.
