FIQ Art Quilters-Meeting Information
We decided at the last meeting we want to make Artsy name tags so we know who’s who in the group. We have some new members to the group and of course we all have those moments when we struggle to remember everyone’s names. So, ladies, your homework for the month is to make an original design artsy name tag. Whatever you want, No Rules! Let’s see those name tags at the next meeting.
Art Quilters will be meeting be Monday, June 9th at 10AM
Westminster Presbyterian Church
1300 Ninth Street
Anacortes WA
(This location may change, an email to update will be sent if this happens)
At this meeting we will each share one of our favorite tips or tricks we use while creating our art projects. Bring a sample, or a quick demo, or even a handout explaining the process.
We will have a short time talking about the quilt we have been asked to work on for the ‘Friends of the Salish Sea’ as a fundraising project. We will also talk about our participation at the Sedro-Woolley quilt show.
The FIQ Art Quilters have been invited to the be Feature Artists at the Woolley Fibers Quilters Quilt and Fiber Art Show. The show will be July 18-19-20 at the Cascade Middle School in Sedro-Woolley. Art Quilters will each choose up to three quilts to show, a registration form will be sent via email soon. Bring your quilts for collection to either July 7th at the main FIQ meeting or on July 14 at the FIQ Art Quilter Meeting. A few of us will be transporting and hanging our quilts during set-up for the show and will be there for tear down to collect all the art quilts. Contact Sue or Diane if you have any questions about this event.
July Meeting will be on Monday the 14th location TBD - Segment #3 of Telephone/Grapevine Challenge Quilt due. Pick up last inspiration piece for segment #4 due in September.
At the July meeting we will be discussing fusibles and stabilizers. There are so many choices and we are going to discuss all the different products and their uses. Everyone’s wisdom, experiences and ‘uh-ohs’ are needed for this day of learning.
Let’s be Busy with Fabric Art!
