Not for Beginners Only
 
Rona Spar will demonstrate the Folded Japanese Quilt
technique from the book QUILT: Handmade Style by
Ruth Van Haeff and Janine Flew. This produces a
reversible quilt with curved lines. The blocks can be
arranged in different ways to produce various effects,
such as transparency.
Art Quilt Group
The topic of December’s meeting will be Foam Block
Stamping and will be presented by Janice Nastasi.
The committee which has been formed to organize this
year’s Art Quilt Group Challenge for the quilt show has decided on the theme, “Stroll Through a Japanese
Garden.”
The requirements for entry will be as follows:
- Size 8”x 8" (finished mini-quilt i.e. 3 layers, bound on
all edges)
- Deadline for entry is the March meeting
- Must use at least one technique that we have covered in
our meetings throughout the past two years
- Must include the flora/fauna/statuary that could be
found in a Japanese garden (we don't want to
discriminate against anyone or anything, if you have a
picture of a moose in a Japanese garden, use it!)
- Must have a permanent label with name and
technique attached to the back of the quilt
- Must be accompanied with $??? payment
(amount to be determined at next meeting,
around $3.00) AND a description of the quilt
(i.e. techniques, materials used, inspiration).
