Wings of Fire -- artist Melani K. Brewer
Wings of Fire -- artist Melani K. Brewer

My wife, Pat, is a quilter, and often we go to quilt exhibits at various places. The National Park Service currently has an exhibit on tour around the country that we thought was a quilt show. To our way of thinking, it is more of a "nature-themed fiber art exhibit" since the pieces on display don't quite fit our criteria of being quilts. The name of the show is "Piecing Together A Changing Planet" and it is currently on exhibit near Cleveland, Ohio where the host is the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

There are 26 pieces in this exhibit, and all are the same size at about two feet wide and about five feet tall. They were all made by members of Florida Region of Studio Art Quilt Associates. Even though they seem a stretch to be called quilts in my mind, they are all lovely pieces of fabric art with themes that touch on issues related to changes taking place in nature in a warming climate.
