Connie Bloom art quilts on display


Former Beacon Journal editor/reporter/columnist Connie Bloom's art quilts are being featured through Oct. 27 in A Celebration of American Crafts show at the Don Drumm Studios and Gallery, 437 Crouse Street, around the corner from the University of Akron's Infocision Stadium.

Connie is a “textile artist,” meaning she puts together fabric that looks like paintings. She hand dyes, hand paints and hand prints much of her cloth.
 
Other stops for Connie next year are Heart of Ohio Quilt Guild in Newark, April 16-17; Talk & Trunk Show, Calico Hearts, in Ravenna, May 14; Talk & Trunk Show, North Coast Needlers, Rocky River, Aug. 13; and a pet portraits workshop in Rocky River, Aug. 17.

Connie’s shop is on the third floor of Summit Artspace, 140 E. Market Street, where her phone number is (330) 472-0161.
