Green Bay, WI – September 8, 2025 – Women Who Run With Scissors was formed in 1997 by art quilters in the Green Bay, WI area. Today, membership has expanded to include members throughout the Northeast WI region. The group continues to thrive with 15 members.
Their common thread is the love of creating original pieces of fiber art. While some members entered the fiber arts world through traditional quilting, others came from art backgrounds focusing on drawing, painting and/or garment design. Playing off each other’s strengths along with a willingness to share ideas, techniques and gentle critiques are hallmarks of our meetings and workshops.
They exhibit artwork as a group in galleries and museums. Members have had solo shows, and some have their quilts travel nationally and internationally. Publications featuring various group members include art books, magazines and newspapers, and highlighted segments in various other media outlets.
Part of the current exhibit includes an art quilt challenge. “Hidden Miracles” is based on the following idea: In our daily rush we often don’t take the time to enjoy hidden miracles. Hidden gems of outright flights of fancy, whether real or imagined, enrich our lives. Come to the exhibit and see if you can find the “Hidden Miracles” in each of these wonderful textile art pieces.
