GreatFul Threads Art Quilters of Chattanooga

Wow, what happened to Summer 2014? I know summertime did not go this fast when I was a child!

We have our August GreatFul Threads meeting  in 18 days. If you would like to hang an art quilt(s) at the Children's Discovery Museum I will need it by Monday the 25th. (our meeting is that week on the 28th) If you are coming a long distance, like Miriam, I can meet you half way and get it from you so that you do not have to make the long drive twice in one week. You will need to have a sleeve on each of your quilts. It would also be helpful if it had a dowel in it to hang it with. If not, no worries, I will cut one to fit.

I hope each of you are working on your self portrait, due in October. If you are having difficulties getting started send me an email and we can get together and  work on it. This project is easier than it looks. When you see a caricature of someone, does it look like a photo of them?  No, it does not. Make it fun and whimsical.

If anyone needs a technique from the basket, send me an email and I will pull one for you. I am working on Sashiko this month and am trying to incorporate that into the house blocks I have worked on each month with this program. It is a challenge, and a fun one at that. I think you will agree,  concentrating on art lets my mind have a break from world events.
