From Martha Sielman, Executive Director:

SOMETHING TO
CELEBRATE!
I am very pleased to announce that in celebration
of SAQA's 25th Anniversary in 2014, Luana Rubin of eQuilter.com has arranged for
Andover Fabrics to print a SAQA Urban Textures fabric
collection. This collection will be based on designs by SAQA members, and
Andover will donate a percentage of the collection's sales to SAQA.

Luana
Rubin will be the juror for the fabric collection designs. She will also write a
brief article on how to design a fabric collection, which I'll send out by email
soon.

The SAQA Urban Textures fabric collection will
consist of six to eight designs printed in multiple colorways. The goal for this
project is to create designs that will become contemporary classics and be
stocked by quilt shops and fabric stores around the world. The name of the
selected designer(s) will appear on the selvedge of the fabrics.

For SAQA Urban Textures,
find your inspiration in the textures of city streets, the graphics of signs and
maps, or distressed surfaces and lights reflecting off asphalt. Deconstructed
screen prints, splattered and layered paint, and digital manipulated images are
all possible techniques. Use any artistic medium that expresses this
theme.
