Fiber Art Divas meeting July 22, 2019

Welcome new members: Sidney, Carol & Shirley! Anyone with changes to their address, phone, email, contact Joan Bratton.

Possible upcoming colored pencil demo. Dorothy to check with the artist instructor. There would be a per person fee.

Our show opens Oct. 29. Natalie is working on postcards. It was decided to print 500. Challenge theme is “Triangles”.  Challenge items are not to exceed 96 inches perimeter. Other wall-hangings-size and 3D items are encouraged. Items may be for sale with Naperville Art League getting 20% commission on sales.

Show & Tell was wonderful, as usual. Painted fusible, a beaded cow and the rivers of Illinois, an exquisite quilt featuring broiderie perse, Catherine’s colorful butterflies, Joan’s report on trips to Sisters show and the Sacred Threads show in which her quilt appeared, trips by others including a wonderful exhibit currently at the Cedarburg Museum, fiber art in Escanaba MI and Egg Harbor WI, and more.

Remember the Stitches Midwest show Aug 1-4 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center (see stitches.events/Midwest.) Easy parking.  Free admission Sunday. Catherine Redford is teaching several classes.

Hope everyone is working on pieces for the October/November show. See earlier blogs for details. Enjoy the summer and plan on attending our August 26 meeting!
