The Art Quilt Group has been meeting before our monthly meeting for the last two years - from 30 to 40 members show up and learn a 'new' or 'different' technique to use in creating innovative art quilts. Foiling, couching, gel medium, painted fusible web, dry felting, soluble wax crayons, painting and dyeing are just a few of the new techniques we have learned. The group will exhibit their techniques and innovative ideas in an 'art quilt sampler' at the World of Quilts in May!
Art Quilt Sampler Participation Rules:
The challenge is for as many members as possible to submit one 8" x 8" piece. It can be realistic, nature, abstract, traditional, distorted, etc. but it must prominently use at least one art quilt technique that we have demonstrated or discussed in the last two years. The view should be up close and personal with an emphasis on the art technique. Put your name, title, technique on the back of the quilt. There will be further discussion at our December meeting.
We need to make a sign and some kind of Id tags for the quilt show. SO PLEASE VOLUNTEER.
Bring anything that you have done with GEL MEDIUM to the December meeting.
Susan Osinoff, Facilitator
