SUMMARY:Meeting+Lecture-Valerie Maser-Flanagan
DESCRIPTION:17 September 2025 \nVALERIE MASER-FLANAGAN \nUsing Line as a Design Focus in Composition \nValerie Maser-Flanagan uses self-created hand-dyed fabric to design abstract sewn constructions.  Her work is influenced by both the rural setting she currently resides in\, her exposure to urban structures from working in Boston for thirty years\, and her attraction to ethnic design.  Maser-Flanagan has exhibited throughout the United States and received numerous awards for her work.  Her Work has been purchased by the Chandler Arts Council in Arizona\, Visions Art Museum\, The International Quilt Museum\, and by private collectors. Examples of her designs are published in Quilting with a Modern Slant by Rachel May\, Dyeing Alchemy by Diane Franklin\, and Art Quilts International Abstract and Geometric by Martha Sielman\, and Color a Workshop for Artists and Designers by David Hornung. Maser-Flanagan began as a traditional quilter but transitioned to contemporary design through studies with Nancy Crow\, David Hornung and Carol Soderlund. \nClick here to learn more about Valerie Maser-Flanagan \n\nBusiness meeting generally starts at 6pm\, arrive earlier for sign-in\, refreshments and socializing\, with any lecture generally at 7pm.\nGuests are always welcome\, there is a guest fee\, $10\, which can be credited toward membership – click HERE for more information. \nOur Hospitality team provides coffee and tea along with a few cookies at in-person meetings.\nPlease bring your own mug or water bottle.\nMember contributions of home-baked treats or other simple snacks are requested!

Participants will use a rotary cutter to cut simple lines and shapes to create a small composition or more than one. Participants may choose to make a number of small blocks instead of a composition. \nVALERIE MASER-FLANAGAN Supply List \n\nSolid black and white fabric: 1 yard of each. We will use the black and white fabric to create our initial design(s).\nIt is your choice if you want to stick with black and white fabric or if you want to bring colored fabric. Select colors that you would like to work with but make sure you have at least one dark and one light fabric. You can limit your choice to two fabrics or bring as many as you want. I would recommend solid fabric.\nI yard of flannel or batting to tape on the wall as a design board.\nBlue painters tape (not masking tape) to tape the design wall fabric to the wall.\nRotary cutter: bring the largest size you have. This is a good time to put in a fresh new blade if you haven’t changed your blade in a while.\nCutting mat: I recommend a 24 x 36 inch size if you have one. But bring what you have.\nCell phone or IPAD to take pictures of your work in progress.\nPen\, pencil\, paper for notes\, sketches\nSewing machine\, thread\, scissors and whatever else you usually need for basic sewing.\nPins for piecing and to use on the design wall.\nOptional: larger ruler for squaring up the design.
