August General Meeting - Ellen Lindner
Program: Ellen Linder presents “Confessions of a Fabric Whisperer”
Ellen Lindner is a talented quilt artist and teacher, who is passionate about making fabric into art. She says, “I make art for the pure joy of doing so!” Known for its strong contrasts and vivid colors, her art has been shown throughout the United States, and beyond, has been commissioned by several well-known hospitals, and has been published in several magazines. Ellen has been seen on Quilting Arts TV, where she taught some of her techniques. She’s also written two books and several magazine articles.
Her work is very diverse, ranging from pictorial still life to modernist abstracts. In addition to using commercial fabrics, Ellen has recently started dying much of her own fabric. This enlivens her pieces and gives her one more way to control the results. She works in a freeform collage style, while borrowing heavily from traditional quilt making techniques.
Guest Fee: $10
This will be a hybrid Zoom meeting. You can attend in person or via Zoom.

September General Meeting - Jenny Lyons
Program: Jenny Lyons presents “My Tippy Top Tips For Successful and Joyful Free Motion Quilting”
”My Tippy Top Tips For Successful and Joyful Free Motion Quilting”, is an informative and engaging discussion of useful tools, products and tips that will enhance your free motion quilting, some of them downright quirky!
I have been joyfully teaching the art of quilting since 2006. My classes are encouraging, supportive, and light-hearted. I use my domestic sewing machine to create art quilts and wearable art. I love to watch my machine stitches create line, texture and shadow as they mergeon the surface of the fabric.
My current work is centered around whole-cloth pieces, with intricate free-hand free-motion quilting. Becausethere is little or no piecing, the story is told through theline of the thread. I consider this work to be “sculpting” the fabric, since the stitches create line and shadow upon the quilt’s surface.
My work has been juried into a variety of major shows including Houston and Paducah as well art galleries and SAQA exhibits. Some is held by private collectors.
Guest Fee: $10
This will be a hybrid meeting. You can attend in person on via Zoom.
