February Meeting Recap

Gwen, our president mentioned that we have hit yet another record for another cold day for the winter that never ends. It seems as though all quilters are looking for a familiar print in the Sochi Olympic Quilt of 2014.

Vivian Tserotas, an award winning textile artist based in London, Ontario was the guest speaker at our February meeting. She gave us a glimpse into her journey as an artist by telling us stories of her works as well as what inspires her and how she stays inspired. Vivian works with many layers on her pieces and enjoys the process of creating. Thank you, Vivian. 

Membership is capped at 120 and members will have an opportunity to register for 2014 -15 up to September 1, 2014 before it will be opened up to non members.

Brenda showed two of her creations that she is doing for a challenge with another Guild. The participants were given two pieces of fabric, could add 3 other fabrics to it, has to have something that floats/ 3d and the total outside measurement to be 85 inches. Brenda is only submitting one of the pieces as the other did not meet all of the requirements. Some techniques would be great if Brenda demonstrated them to the rest of us.
