Art Quilter's
The Fidalgo Island Art Quilters is a sub-group of the Fidalgo Island Quilt Guild. The group was created for the FIQ guild members who have a passion for or interest in the various techniques of "art quilts". Be it collage, landscape, fabric dye, painting, embellishment, raw edge or pieced pictorial quilts, we came together to share our ideas, inspiration and methods.
Art Quilters can participate in multiple challenges each year. Challenges set guidelines that stretch our creativity and strengthen our knowledge in new ways. Challenges have shown us we can step outside of our comfort zone and create amazing results!
Members of the group also gather for workshops, often led by a member ho is willing to teach a new technique. Additionally, there are field trips t the quilt museum, quilt shops and wherever we can go to enjoy the display of art and textiles.
Visitors are welcome, though to join the group and participate in our activities you must be a member of the Fidalgo Island Quilt Guild. FIQ is based in Anacortes but draws members from Skagit, Snohomish, Island and Whatcom counties. We support the guild and all it offers. The guild is what brought us together and financially supports our meeting space and liability insurance. The guild meets the first Monday of the month and the Art Quilters meet on an additional day each month.
