Booth \n\n\n\nI’m an artist\, an author but most of all\, I’m a teacher who loves to inspire my students to stretch. My greatest joy is watching students get excited\, jump in fully and produce works that speak to them and others. \n\n\n\nI personally enjoy hours in the studio playing with fabric and threads\, experimenting with basic hand stitches and observing the “secrets” they reveal through play. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn 2013-2014\, I wrote Fabric Printing at Home (Quarry Books 2014)\, a book that focuses on using household materials to create print blocks\, stencils\, and fabric resists. \n\n\n\nI’ve been a featured artist in three Quilting Arts TV series and have written several articles for Quilting Arts magazine on hand stitching and surface design projects. \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, I moved my teaching online. I teach workshops and classes in hand stitching as an expressive art medium as well as how to create beautiful\, hand stitched art objects. \n\n\n\nI’ve had and continue to have the pleasure of teaching experimental hand stitching projects and techniques for organizations\, guilds and conferences including TextileArtist.org’s Stitch Club (2020\, 2022\, and 2027); Quilt and Surface Design Symposium (2024); Artistic Artifacts’ Creative Minds Summit (2025 and 2026); Art Quilt Midwest (2025).

SUMMARY:Same Cloth: A Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh Juried Member Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Same Cloth: a Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh Juried Member Exhibition\n\n\n\n\n\nJuly 15-September 4\, 2027Brew House Arts711 S 21st St\, Pgh\, PA 15203 \n\n\n\n\n\nJuly 15-October 30\, 2027Contemporary Craft5645 Butler St\, Pgh\, PA 15201 \n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Chairs: Staci Offutt\, Laura Tabakman\, Nancy Langer \n\n\n\nSubmission Deadline: May 3\, 2027  \n\n\n\nContact: exhibitionsfgp@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Cut from the same cloth” is a phrase that describes people who share common qualities\, values\, orexperiences. Rooted in tailoring tradition\, it refers to garments made from the same bolt of fabric\, eachdistinct in form yet united by a common material. Over time\, the expression has become a metaphor for the invisible threads that connect us: our histories\, communities\, beliefs\, and shared humanity. \n\n\n\nThe Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh invites artists to consider these connections through the language of fiber. As a community dedicated to advancing fiber art in all its forms\, we recognize that while artists work with diverse materials\, techniques\, and perspectives\, they are united by a commitment to creative exploration\, technical excellence\, and innovation. \n\n\n\nAcross two gallery spaces\, selected works will engage in a visual conversation\, revealing relationshipsbetween process\, material\, and meaning. Together\, they will explore themes of identity\, community\,belonging\, resilience\, and transformation\, demonstrating the extraordinary breadth of contemporary fiberart. \n\n\n\nWe invite Fiberarts Guild members to contribute original work that expands this dialogue\, offering personal interpretations of connection\, shared experience\, and collective making. Whether literal or conceptual\, intimate or monumental\, each work becomes part of a larger tapestry that celebrates both the threads that unite us and the unique perspectives each artist brings to the whole. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJuror\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMargaret Dugger is an artist currently based in Pittsburgh\, PA. They studied at Haywood Community College in Clyde\, North Carolina\, and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. \n\n\n\nTrained in traditional handweaving\, Margaret uses historic craft skills to make sense of our contemporary lives. She is excited and inspired by what happens when you combine new materials and ways of thinking with old processes! Margaret has been thankful to learn from a wide variety of teachers\, who have guided her on this path. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProspectus\n\n\n\nSubmit Your Work
