The members of Boulder Loose Threads were drawn together by a mutual love of color, texture, pattern, and fibers. They all shared a desire to move beyond the traditional in quilting and needlework and were well on their way when they discovered one another. As a group, they share ideas, inspiration, critiques, techniques, motivation, and friendship. While their work reflects their individuality, their group reflects their beliefs that art is meant to be shared and discussed, that being challenged in your art makes you a better artist, and that art is an integral part of life.
