ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  "Quilts That Warm the Soul," is the January exhibit at 
          the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley in Pulaski. Linda 
          Fiedler's "The Calm After the Storm" is one of the award-winning 
          quilts in this show by Fringe Benefits, a group of 10 professional 
          quilt makers from Southwest Virginia and Eastern Tennessee. Fiedler,
          a native of Meadows of Dan, says she loves studying the never-ending
          interactions of different color combinations in her quilting. Her 
          inspiration, she notes, comes from nature. You can meet Fiedler and 
          the other artists Sunday at a reception at the center. It runs from
