Thanks to those in attendance for another excellent meeting
of GreatFul Threads. Once again the Arts Build grant was discussed. The group
is concerned about adding extra workload to those who are already extremely
busy, especially with AQS show preparations. Jackie Cory thought it would be
wonderful to use the grant money (if it was awarded to us) to purchase a
permanent display case that would show members art quilts that could be
switched out on a regular basis. The cabinet would be placed in a high traffic
public area.
We need to know from each member how many art quilts they
will submit to be hung at the CDM during the month of September. We need to
know how many and the size of each one so that preparations can be made to hang
them. Let me know that a.s.a.p. so that I can forward that info to Liza Blair
at the CDM.
Jackie Cory will be teaching a basic drawing class the 4th
Saturday of each month for the next four months. The class will be at her house
in Cleveland (off exit 20 and easy to get to) from 10:00 – 1:00. The first
class begins this Saturday and it's not too late to sign up. Jackie’s phone # is 423.432.2510. Another series
of classes will begin in January.
Jackie and Catherine Price will have a booth at Merchants
Warehouse on E. Brainerd for the next four months. Merchants Warehouse is near
the intersection of Graysville Rd. and E. Brainerd, hours are 10:00 – 6:00
Monday thru Saturday. This is a store
that carries handmade, local goods. It’s a great store, check it out!
Reflections Gallery will be holding a display on “Literacy”,
deadline to enter is August 7. The theme revolves around words, books, etc.
Jackie will be offering a book making class there. Details have not been
finalized, stay tuned for further information.
For those who were not at the meeting and would like me to
pull techniques for next month’s program, please send an email.
Take time to quilt everyday,
Denise
