SUMMARY:Membership Meeting Featuring Brita Nelson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Brita Nelson’s lecture\, Now You See It\, Now You Don’t via Zoom at the United Methodist Church \nBrita started seriously quilting in the 1980’s. Her best friend from High School is a quilter and Brita would buy her fabric and notions for Christmas and birthdays. After a while all the pretty colors started drawing Her in. In April of 2017 I retired from work\, moved back to PA and devoted myself to serious quilting and sharing this passion which has given me so much joy. Find out more on Brita’s website www.questioningquilter.com \nLearn about the magic and beauty of disappearing blocks with this interactive online lecture\, demo and trunk show. Using 3 cameras\, one on Brita and the quilts\, one pointing straight down at the cutting mat\, and one close-up on the quilts\, she will be able to show you how easy it is to turn simple blocks into beautiful complex patterns. Using the Zoom format\, you will be able to ask questions during the presentation. Brita will also show you how different block designs can be enhanced by color choices or slight modifications to make even more interesting full quilts.

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting with Colleen McFarlin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the November membership meeting featuring Colleen McFarlin’s lecture on Color Theory/Variation \nColleen started sewing at age 14 and attended a vocational high school for fashion design\, where she learned to make my first quilt. She graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design with a degree in Fibers. Colleen’s quilts have been displayed in galleries from Seattle to Savannah. In 2016\, her quilt ‘Finding Home’ was displayed at QuiltCon in Pasadena\, CA and placed 3rd in the Flying Geese Challenge by American Patchwork + Quilting Magazine. She also proudly had quilts published in 2 different issues of Curated Quilts. \n“Quilting is an incredible art form – it is creative\, beautiful\, challenging\, exciting\, frustrating\, and wonderful! I am so incredibly proud to be a part of this community as a quilt shop owner of Beyond the Bolt in Bristol RI\, pattern designer\, teacher\, and overall quilt enthusiast.” \nIn this lecture\, Colleen will discuss what color theory is and why it matters within quilting. She will go over the color wheel\, explore different values\, and look at samples that go over both. Color value is so important in the success or failure of a quilt\, and it’s important for quilters to see how to successfully use color and value! \n
