MARGARET ANDERSON Art Quilt Exhibit March 1
March 3, 2011
Hello Quilters, Margaret’s delicate silk collages are hung! We have ourselves a quilt show, and you are all invited to stop by and take in the beauty of this mesmerizing art quilt exhibit.
MARGARET ANDERSON Art Quilt Exhibit March 1 – 31, 2011 Stand still in the room for a moment and focus on one quilt. What do you see? The hand painted, silk pieces of Margaret’s collages seem to float and gently move. As in all abstract art, Margaret’s collages will carry you to a place filled with imaginary images or stir your emotions or perhaps trigger an old memory. As we hung one quilt this week, I suddenly remembered the ice cream truck pulling up front when I was a child and then holding a Big Stick popsicle in my hand. In my mind I could see all of its rainbow colors again and taste the coolness of it as it slowly melted in my hand. The power of art! I hope you can experience these art pieces for yourself and see where her works lead you.

“A Quilter’s Journey” Quilt Show by EUNICE HILL April 5 through May 1, 2011 Eunice’s original designs will take you on a journey of people and places. Her bag of techniques keeps the viewer wondering, “How did she do that?” You look at some quilts and subtly see paper-piecing in the sky or in the landscape’s foreground. And, how does she get that stained-glass look or depth of perspective? Eunice comes to us with credentials, and we are honored to have her share her work with all of us. Eunice is a quilt pattern designer, educator, and AQS certified quilt appraiser. She is the recipient of state and national awards and was the 2004 Minnesota Quilter of the Year.

Class Schedule Are you ready for a challenge? How about trying the Broken Garden Path class? This wall hanging is full of drama and visual impact. The design opportunities are endless.

Let Ann show you another technique for inserting round pieces into your quilt. As always, classes with Ann are fun and memorable. The pattern is from the book Batik Gems by Laurie Shifrin.
