Title: Rhode Island Reds 

Theme: 100 Years of Agriculture

What is your artwork about? Agriculture is such an important part of daily life from the food I eat, to the clothes I wear, to the fiber art I create. Everything it seems is impacted by agriculture in some way. I chose the Rhode Island Red chicken to symbolize the idea that some things will remain constant and unchanged with the passage of time despite modern advancements. The Rhode Island Red breed was developed in the 1830's to be a bird with excellent egg laying qualities and also a good meat provider. This breed would be my choice for my backyard.

Materials and techniques used: This cotton panel was painted with fabric paint. The chickens were painted first and then a salt wash was applied to the background. After heat setting the paint, the panel was quilted and bound.

Title: Kansas Agriculture: Past, Present, & Future


Theme: 100 Years of Agriculture

Harper's Fabric & Quilt Co., Facilitated by Rosemary Cromer, Elaine Johnson, and Harper's Staff
KANSAS AGRICULTURE:  PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

Kansas wheat & barley

Vineyards, corn and rye.

Crystal running water

Under blue expansive sky.

100 years behind us,

100 more ahead.

100 years of farmland

Providing daily bread.

(Poem by Shirley Lewis)


Kansas has long been known for the second-largest amount of farmland in the U.S., good animal health, a conducive climate and a central location with our exports of beef and grains leading the way.  Kansas Agriculture is the largest industry in the State.

For our future, The Kansas Dept. of Agriculture points us to the diversity of “providing raw materials for a broad range of nonfood products, such as chemicals, fibers, construction materials, lubricants and fuels.  Developing and commercializing biobased and bioenergy products will provide new and expanded markets for agricultural feedstocks.”

Can you pick out the wheat fields, plowed lands, vineyards, sorghum, corn, sunflower and soybean fields, and leas for cattle with the winding rivers?

Materials and techniques used: Fabric, thread, batting
Designed / Machine pieced / quilted by Rosemary Cromer
Inspired by staff at Harper's Fabric & Quilt Co.

Participants: Rosemary Cromer, Elaine Johnson, Shirley Lewis, Julee Hunter


Did your group enjoy participating? Rosemary Cromer and staff all enjoyed the opportunity to relate our backgrounds as it meshed into agriculture. We all have a lot of rural farming experience from our past. It was fun sharing and relating them to the past, present, and future. Thank you for the opportunity.

Title: Goining Bananas

Dream Theme: 100 Years of Agriculture

Materials and Techniques Used: Acrylic on unstretched canvas

What is your artwork about?  Bananas came to mind as a unique form of agriculture. The banana is underrated. You can do a lot with bananas, dry them, cover them with chocolate, and polish your shoes with the peels. Bananas have appeal.

Teacher and organizer: Pamela Brandt

Dream Theme: Respect and Responsibility / Community

Materials & techniques used: Most groups used marker or paints but some added other objects including fabric. Markers, puffy paint, plastic plant, matchbox car, plastic bottle, stuffed animal, mirror.

Did your group enjoy working on this project? This was a very nice way to combine art projects with the themes for our school this year.

Participants: There are 28 different works of art. Each one was created by a homeroom of 16 - 24 students. I have taken photos of the work as well as each homeroom with their work. I also had them answer the questions explaining their piece and will be sending that along with each piece.

What is your art about? Saving the environment by cutting down on pollution. Trying to be more responsible and cut back on the pollutions we contribute to the environments. 

Our school's theme this year is respect and responsibility. Each trimester we focus on how students can show this through self, others and the environment. Each grade was given a different component of this - 6th grade - environment, 7th grade - self, and 8th grade - others. I will be sending along a handout that was given to each homeroom to use in completing this project.

Title: Clean Water for All

Dream Theme: Conservation

Materials & techniques used: The panel was created using fabric paint and permanent markers.

What is your art about? My dream for a better world would start with clean water. Over 2 billion of our fellow human beings do not have clean water to drink. The process of providing sources of clean water would foster community as those who have travel to help those would do not have and create relationships across geographical, racial and religious lines. The acts of giving and receiving help are essential to mental and spiritual health. Clean water to drink is essential to good physical health. This one area of focus would change our world in profound ways.

In my picture water is important sea life needs to live in clear water. If you like to scuba dive you need clear water too. Here are some facts you might want to know about the coral reef are that corral is not a plant it is an animal. Many fish live in the coral reef. Clownfish are the only kind of fish that can live in the anemone. If we did not have clean water we won't have seafood. Water affects everything.

Title: Future for the Sea

Teacher and organizer: Jennifer Keith

Dream Theme: Water Quality 

Materials & techniques used: Acrylic

What is your art about? The reason why I chose the future of the sea is because I love the sunset above the sea because it's beautiful. I put the dolphins in the painting because dolphins are so beautiful and it needed something to make it complete. I like drawing sunsets because I like how there are all different colors in the sky at the time of day in my opinion. The reason why I put sparkles is because the sky sparkles in the sunlight. It's dark at the top and it's bright at the bottom.

Title: Rain Water

Teacher and organizer: Jennifer Keith

Dream Theme: Water Quality 

Materials & techniques used: Acrylic

What is your art about? My picture represents the water quality of rain. It represents the water quality of rain because my dream is that the world will have a lot more colorful and different flowers. If it rains it will give the nutrients the flowers need to grow. One inch of rainfall drops 7,000 gallons or nearly 30 tons of water on a 60' by 180' piece of land. I feel my piece represents my dream for rain water quality.

Title: The Water Cycle

Teacher and organizer: Jennifer Keith

Dream Theme: Water Quality 

Materials & techniques used: Acrylic

What is your art about? On my painting I put the large water drop to show the water now and what my dream for the future is. The cycle goes along as it gets browner and browner until it is completely brown. If we don't step it up the water WILL get fully brown and polluted. Hopefully that won't happen. I learned that there could be chemicals in any water you drink. If it is something poisonous it could be very bad and dangerous for our future.

They were: keeping the oceans and beaches clean, telling people about Jesus, finding better medicines, space exploration, stopping bullying and curing cancer, diabetes and other illnesses. We wrote our theme "Everything and Everybody Counts" in the bottom section of the panel.

Kathleen Ronnebaum from Baileyville, Kansas





























Did you enjoy working on this project? I loved every minute of this project. I don't find enough time for art quilt projects because I make many traditional quilts each year for various projects. I will do more art quilts in the future.

Materials and techniques used: This project is totally machine pieced. I used a crazy quilt technique with a muslin foundation to make each section of the project. Fibers are couched over seam lines to enhance the Map. The fabrics are mostly cotton, but there are satins, silks and blends.

What is your submission about? I used crazy quilt techniques to show the diversity of the Kansas landscape and the crops that are grown here. Below the state "map" there is a subterranean section revealing layers of soil, rock, petroleum and water. Above the map is the wide open sky with a bright sun. I wanted to show the diversity of our state, which is far more interesting and beautiful than most people realize.

The Joker is an image that reminds us of superheroes and comedians. We need laughter and superheroes in our community and the Joker represents what we need. I really enjoy drawing and this is my first time painting on canvas.
During one of our sessions Mr. Juan Cruz, a local artist from Puerto Rico where my family is from, came to help us learn to paint. I liked having him help us and learning from him. This project was cool.

Antonio and Julia Smith-Plata (family project) from Payson, AZ

Participants: 
Antonio Smith-Plata (age 9) and Julia Smith-Plata (age 6) designed and created the panel – I am their Nana (Pamela Smith) -- I provided the supplies for the project, contacted Sue Coccia for permission to use her art and paid the fee.

Dream Theme: Conservation (Nature, animals, etc)

Materials and Techniques Used: 

With permission from Sue Coccia -- colored some of her art panels with watercolor pencils. Scanned them into the computer and printed them onto fabric. Used steam a seam 2 to fuse the pictures onto a background fabric. Added a border. Quilted the project. Bound the edge with yarn fibers.

What is your artwork about?

We are Antonio (age 9) and Julia (age (6). We made a quilt panel with our cousins and our Nana two years ago. Now that we are older we wanted to try to do one by ourselves – next year is the Arizona centennial – wit permission we used Sue Coccia art pages with a southwest theme for our quilt. The border is a specially designed Arizona centennial fabric. We hope our quilt is chosen to be shown in Phoenix as we live there. We have done some sewing before and wanted to try a quilt. It was fun and we like how it turned out. We plan to do another one for ourselves.
