Q U I L T E R S

Let's go to the Fair! Join us as quilt historian Nova Montomery leads us through the enthralling story of the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago and its accompanying Quilt Contest that garnered over 25,000 entries.

We are thrilled that National Teacher Jane Sassaman will be our featured speaker this month!

Jane is a renowned quilt artist, fabric designer, author, and teacher. Her art quilts have been exhibited widely, and have received many prestigious national and international accolades. Her quilt "Willow" was named as One of the One Hundred Best American Quilts of the Century.

Exuberant designs featuring oversized and colorful motifs are hallmarks of Jane's design style, largely influenced by her love of historic decorative arts. Her current fabric line has been described as “William Morris on anti-depressants."

Jane is the author of several books. Her latest book, "Patchwork Sassaman Style," beautifully illustrates her fabric “in action”.

Jane also will be offering two separate workshops while she is here. These will be offered to Guild Members and are expected to fill up quickly. Contact Mary Berry for details.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear local quilter (and quilt collector) Judy Buster speak about her love of vintage and antique quilts! Judy will bring plenty of quilts with her for a hands-on trunk show of some of her most prized quilty treasures.

Join us for our annual picnic and installation of new officers.

We don't have a general meeting this month. See you in September!
