Art Quilters,
I hope you have had time to catch your breath after our world wind week of AQS. Can't wait to hear what your favorite quilt was. Mine was a SAQA quilt titled "Theatre" by Izabella Baykova from Saint Petersburg, Russia. It depicted opera viewers, each box seat had the most amazing characters. The hand work was absolutely phenomenal and it was made with designer fabrics. One of the most wonderful aspects of a quilt show is finding an artist and/or workmanship that inspires you to achieve greater quality in your own skills. That quilt was just stunning to me. If you would like to share your favorite with me, please do.
Next week, on Thursday evening the 25th, is our GreatFul Threads meeting for the month of September. Can you believe we only have one two meetings left in 2014? We need to begin planning for 2015. Vista has been inspired with a great program idea and thanks to AQS, I have a challenge idea. Before our meeting give programs and our yearly challenge some thought. Come to the meeting with your ideas, we will throw them all out for discussion.
Do not forget to bring your current works of art for show 'n tell along with your basket technique. It's not too late to get started on it, if you have not already. I started mine this afternoon!
Looking forward to our meeting,
Denise
