GENERAL MEETING
Thank you to our Guest Speaker Dale McMillan. Even though we did this meeting through Zoom we learned so much from Dale.
Dale is a Fibre Artist (Quilt Artists of Muskoka) who generously took us on a journey of her artistic quilt making. From that first tiny sewing machine costing a whopping $150 in today’s dollars, to a pictorial record of nature, family and memory.
Active in Studio Art Quilt Associates Dale let us peek behind her curtain of process and expression in an up close and tactile manner.
For her each new project is a culmination of what she has learned and discovered so far... and an opportunity to try something new! For her learning plus playing equals opportunities for progress.
For Dale, this quilting career continues to be worth far more than money could EVER buy! Challenges! Creativity!! and JOY!!!

Dale gave us a virtual tour of her studio
Dale was influenced by a pictorial quilter by the name of Sylvia Armeni.
Her quilts tell stories. She also incorporated thread painting which add more layers to the image.

Quilting has helped Dale go through the grief of losing her daughter to cancer. The cardinal was a significant sign for her that her daughter's spirit would be near.
With her granddaughter they have designed quilts.
Also, after getting together with other families that were also sharing the same experience Dale designed quilt to give them.
Her other daughter designed a teacup quilt, as she and her sister would have tea together. The words around the cup are written by her daughter.
