A sampling of the bees offered by Lost Nation Brewery. In addition to making some of the finest and old style offerings, they keep the alcohol content below 6% in all of their beers so that they can be enjoyed.
Growing up as the son of a craft-loving English teacher, I spent many hours pursuing crafts and playing Scrabble. As I grew older, I believed that in order to fit in with my peers, I had to be in the closet about my crafting, eventually stopping my creative activities altogether. My Scrabble playing, however, continued and turned into a life-long love of the study of language intersecting with my current art practice.
In 1996, I signed up for a textiles class, thereby reawakening my dormant artistic side. I am attracted to textiles because textiles are like language – both are subtle, yet powerful. Also, both can protect, expose, reveal social position, and show affiliation. I later learned that the words textile and text are derived from the same root, and several of my earlier pieces are focused on this text-textile connection.
My focus has since expanded beyond this literal connection to the multi-layered texts or readings of the cloth. Recent themes that have emerged are the socialization of American men to be violent and conflicting views on sexuality/masculinity. My hope is that upon reading my work, viewers will engage in a dialogue about the confining nature of behavioural norms.
In the past, needlework served several purposes for girls/young women, including allowing girls who were denied a formal education a chance to learn the ABCs, as well as showing suitors that the girls were proficient stitchers (and thus marriageable material). I’ve appropriated the sampler form in my investigation of how I, as a Euroamerican gay white male born in 1964, have been educated to perform my gender.

Bren Ahearn uses textile crafts as a medium to explore the contentious boundaries between straight and gay masculinity, homoeroticism in sports, and the violence that sometimes arises from men's adherence to societal behavioral norms.

More fun with fussy cutting. I also liked playing the prints against eager other. The 'blue' fabric here is actually a really pretty royal purple.
put together from different patterns (the sides were from a bookmark, the alphabet from a book I owned years ago also the wreaths and the little birds and the heart was from a magazine. The little sentiment is all mine!)

I love this blanket pattern, mostly because it’s easy to carry around with me since it’s all little blocks.
I may change my mind once I get to the part where I have to join them all together :)

I even thought about making some hexies for the first time after I stitched this together. I am still not ready yet though. ;-)
Whitman's is one of America's largest and oldest brands of boxed chocolates. Whitman's confections have been produced since 1842, originally by Stephen Whitman in Philadelphia and currently by Russell Stover Candies. The Whitman's Sampler, an assortment of boxed chocolates, is still popular.
My wife and I had lunch at Denny's after church. I had a sampler with chicken fingers, cheese quesadilla and mozzarella sticks.
This is one of the first paintingsI did in the childhood series and was painted over a few months when I was ill. I tried to do one little figure each day which gave me a real sense of having at least done something. The figures are all based on my childrens drawings.
This is a birth sampler pattern I stitched as a wedding sampler. "Heirloom Birth Sampler" from The Victoria Sampler, designed by Thea--an amazing designer! I stitched this band sampler on linen using a variety of stitch techniques in colors to match Val's wedding selection..
Materials included pearl cottons, silks, metallic threads, silk ribbon, and seed beads. Stitching included silk embroidery (leaves and roses), eyelets, hardanger, back stitching, an assortment of pulled stitches with and without cutting.
