Monday's speaker: Pati Fried

Note; there will NOT be a workshop on Monday, Oct. 31, 2016.
But we do have a speaker for our evening meeting:  Pati Fried, a longtime member of this guild.

Topic:  Modern Traditionalist

Pati says, "We will discuss the principles of modern quilt design and a how to use these as fundamental design elements to challenge your work. Being aware of these principles and design elements can act as a roadmap for venturing into new design territory."

And since Monday is Hallowe'en, guild president Joan Sextro urges everyone to some in costume.

Monday workshop cancelled; searching for new speaker

Jacquie Gering has had a personal emergency and has cancelled her appearances for today and Monday.   Marty and I will hold an open sewing workshop day today with a hope that we can hold a discussion on what was to have been done on Precision Lines.

There will be no open sewing workshop on Monday.

We are in the process of finding a lecturer for Monday night.

Marion Coleman featured in the New York Times

Marion Coleman's quilts were featured Feb. 2, 2016, in the New York Times.  It's rare for New York to even notice Oakland, California, for its contributions to the art world, and rare to see quilts discussed.

You might have to pay $1 to see the article (but the Times lets you see ten articles each month for free).  The article includes a slideshow of 8 quilts made by members of the African American Quilt Guild of Oakland, one of our sister guilds.

(And along the way, I found this nice link for Gee's Bend quilts:  http://soulsgrowndeep.org/gees-bend-quiltmakers).
