We are all saddened by the news of the passing of our dear friend, Anita McSorley. Anita was a long-time member of the Fiber Arts Council and the director of our beloved Fiber Arts Fiesta. She was an artist who pursued so many directions in our small world and was a creator of many beautiful quilts and other fiber art pieces.
She truly “belonged” to each of the many groups she chose for belonging. Those guilds included Albuquerque Modern Quilt Guild, New Mexico Quilters Association, Thimbleweeds, Studio Art Quilt Associates, New Mexico Polymer Clay Guild, Las Arañas Spinning and Weaving Guild, Mixed Media Textile Artists, Bead Society of NM, and others that sparked her creativity. Additionally, Anita encouraged and inspired others to join her love of fiber by teaching at local quilt stores.
Anita lost her battle with cancer on September 23, 2020, but we will never lose what she brought to our fiber community. We celebrate her love of fiber and all the people she touched with her gentle spirit.
