February 16, 2021 - Tammy Silvers - "Seeing Double"
Our very first ZOOM program was quite a success! Tammy was very open to all questions and shared a wealth of knowledge with us. We had at least 25 people in attendance and it all went off without a hitch!

Tammy has been quilting since 1991.She has also taught at a variety of quilt shops as well as online (check out her Quick Quilted Gifts class on Bluprint!), and designs and self-publishes her own quilt patterns under the label Tamarinis.
Learn more about her on her website by clicking here. Seeing Double: Ever wonder - what would this quilt look like if I made it in another color way? If I used plaids and stripes instead of florals? Well, I can't tell you what EVERY quilt would look like, but we can explore some practical examples together! In a fun format, we will compare quilts made in florals versus batiks, reproduction fabrics versus crisp modern prints, brights versus pastels. Gather inspiration and insight into the choices for your next project! NOTE: This will be an online Zoom class. The link will be sent to all members. You need a device with a camera which can be your phone, tablet, or computer. If you don't have zoom on your device, simply open the link in your email on your device and it will launch zoom and you can choose to install. You can practice that by attending a zoom meeting of the guild before this program. If you do not have the ability to do it, but have a friend or family member in which you can go to their house, that is another option. |

May 18, 2021 - Tina Curran - My Excellent Adventure as a Quilter -- Trunk show
|
My interest in making art quilts was jump-started by seeing my dear friend Sara take a variety of patterned fabrics, cut them into pieces and combine them in such an artistic way. As a life-long sewer (having experienced my first sewing triumph with a skating skirt I made in Girl Scouts), I took to quilting quickly. One of the great thrills with this art form is that my options are as infinite as those of a painter working on canvas -- landscapes, portraits, geometric patterns, abstract impressions, etc. I enjoy both the deep American roots of traditional quilting and the unlimited possibilities today's art quilts present. Combining elements of both extremes is great fun, as I often use contemporary fabrics in century-old quilt patterns.
My trunk show features about three dozen of the quilts I have created over the last twenty-plus years. The goal is to encourage other quilters by showing how my skills evolved and how I too was once a beginner. (I bring these quilts to my in-person visits. I have converted this presentation to photos for a virtual presentation.) NOTE: This will be an online Zoom class. The link will be sent to all members.
