Carol Saniuk, husband, Connie's masterpiece

Connie masterpiece lives in Copley

Former BJ editor/columnist Connie Bloom’s labor of love has moved to Copley.

Copley High grad Carol Briggs Saniuk and her husband purchased Magic Realism II. Carol’s career included Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School and North Royalton High School. The Saniuks live in Copley.

Writes Connie:

“Carol  and her hubby picked it up on Nov. 24. My studio looks so empty without it. Meanwhile, I have ordered more of that exquisite hand dye from Judy Robertson, my secret Hand Dye Fairy, so that I can make another similar work of art for my own home -- or somebody else's.”

“New Day Cleveland” on WJW-Channel 8 did a story on Connie's quilt art including the completion of Magic Realism II, which had been on view at an Art Walk at Summit Artspace, 140 E. Market Street,  downtown Akron.

In 2013 Connie won first place for non-functional work at the Peninsula Fabric Art Show with fabric art of her dog, Lily.

Connie has a 350 square foot studio as the resident quiltmaker in Summit Artspace on the third floor at 140 E. Market Street. It’s next door to the Akron Art Museum.

Her phone number is (330) 472-0161. Or you can email her at connie@conniebloom.com

She is publisher/editor of QSDS (Quilt Service Design Symposium), a quarterly online Ohio magazine about fabric art.

She married to Bob Shields.
