At this special 'Let's Talk About That" meeting, which Alberta will be hosting on Zoom, we will have a special guest, Sara Felice.  Sara  is the curator at the Leepa-Ratner Museum, where we hope to hold an exhibition of our quilts in about 3 years.

Allowing an art space to show our quilts means showing our work in the community in a different way than when we have a show (and we all know that 3 years is not that far away.)

Instead of the planned topic of discussion, we will be holding an extended Show & Tell with members sharing examples of their quilted work and talking a little bit about them – much as you would do at a regular meeting show & tell.

This will give our guest a good overview of the varied work that members of the Guild do and also let her get to know a bit about the Guild and its members.

Rather than having members try to show their quilts live using the cameras on their phones, tablets or lap-tops, we would like you to send Alberta a photograph or photographs of a quilt(s) that you are particularly proud of, or even something unique that you have made. It could be something that you have previously entered into a show or might have entered given the chance – perhaps it would have gone into the show cancelled due to Covid. 

A short description sent with the photograph will enable Alberta to talk about it on your behalf IF you were not going to be able to sign in for the meeting.  

We are hoping to be able to show examples of quilts made using different techniques (EPP, Foundation paper piecing, traditional machine piecing, turned hand applique, raw-edge applique, art, modern etc., etc.), examples of quilts  made for different community projects (like Linus quilts and Quilts of Valor) and examples of quilted apparel and goods.

Please send your photos(s) with a short description to Alberta Dalke -  jdalke@yahoo.com – as soon as possible so she can put together a slide-show ready for the meeting.

The deadline for the photos will be Friday May 3 so that they can be organized before the Monday meeting.

And remember, this is for everyone in the guild, not just those that sign in to Zoom meetings.
