Just a few of the other activities during the general meeting are Show and Tell, Treasure Chest raffle and a pot luck buffet. There is no cost to attend.

2022 - Jan 8th & 9th - Sandra Mollon
Sandra Mollon comes to us from Valley Springs, California. She is a textile artist, instructor, author and designer. With a long love of textiles, she spent many years working in traditional hand appliqué. She has had many quilts juried into large international and regional shows. If you attended PIQF this year, you may have seen Sandra’s, “In Perfect Harmony” which won Best Wall Quilt. The subject was polar bears and was hung showing both sides of the quilt with magnificent thread painting! Her lecture will be, “Adapting an Image for an Art Quilt.” She took classes in photography in college and as interest in art quilts increased, her interests
merged. Her presentation will be part trunk show and part power point lecture showing how to choose photos to work from, posterization of images (we’ll have to find out what that is), and finally the nuts and bolts of assembly and quilting. The class will be “Thread Painting.” Participants will be given a choice of images printed on fabric, and using free motion thread play, the image is covered in stitches to make a wonderful thread painted art project suitable for framing or other sewing projects. She will bring lots of professional embroidery thread to share, but it doesn’t hurt to bring your own if you have it. The class workshop is suitable for all levels of quilters. Yes, even beginners. She says it looks more difficult than it is and is an excellent way
for beginners to support skills in free motion quilting. All you need to know is how to put the feed dogs down on your machine! Cost $45 and a $5 materials fee to Sandra.
