Hi Quilters!
Well, we've had a lot of extra "at-home" time in February to work on our quilting! I hope that everyone now has a finished project to put into our Quilt Show! Registration is Sunday, March 7! We will also be having a short business meeting that day, so plan to stay for that. It seems that we have a lot of things to catch up on, since we missed all of the meetings in February.
Our speaker at the Monday, March 15th meeting will be, Eleanor Levie. You can check out her website. Her lecture is titled: "Quilters Who Dare". This is her description of it, from her website:
"See 250 years of American quiltmaking at its most freewheeling, improvi-sational, bold, and beautiful! I'll puncture a few myths, and show you how passionate individuality has met with varying degrees of social acceptance. This magical history tour will crisscross from antique traditions-with-a-twist to contemporary art quilts, from high Amish handwork to poor, unschooled expressions, and include many other historical, hysterical, and stellar ex-amples of this cultural phenomenon.
A trunk show, including many pieces available for touching, will comple-ment the slide show. For quilt guilds, this presentation is sure to encourage traditional-leaning members to become a bit more daring in their own quiltmaking." Should be lots of fun!
We have started the Boutique committee for the Quilt Show. Please read our article, we could use everyone's help! If you would like to join us, please let me know!
OK ... it's snowing again ... time for quilting!
