Silk Dyework by Marge Lindemann

marge

Marge Lindemann is a painter whose interest migrated to dyes and fibers, resulting in beautiful, colorful scarves, collages and wall-hangings.  Working with silks as well as velvets and satins, she pieces together landscape and village scenes as well as florals and abstracts, often using metallic threads and beads for embellishment.  Her ability to blend colors and textures into her own distinct style is unmatched.

Kaleidoscope Quilting by Susan Zieke

Susan Zieke has been playing with fabric and color all of her life, and for the past twelve years, it has provided her living. She uses bright, bold colors to produce a variety of artwork, including wall hangings, pillow covers and quilted notecards. Her quilted cards are 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 and are made from 100% recycled paper. She cuts the design out of the cardstock and sews the fabric right into the card. Each card is unique and worthy of a frame.

Aprons by Wanda Zeug & Mary Dosch

etsyapron5cCalling their creations “Grandma Glam,” Wanda and Mary began sewing aprons as an antidote to those long winter nights in northern Wisconsin.  Often using vintage tablecloths and fabrics, as well as a little rick-rack, the aprons are a new approach to the old aprons that our grandmas always wore.  They range from sexy and modern to truly vintage style.  The aprons are a great fit in our gallery that’s filled with pottery for the kitchen.
