And the Winners Are…

Independence Hall Quilters

In case you missed Monday’s meeting, the awards are different this year. No more 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons. This year, IHQ started a new system where the number of top awards is based on the number of entries in each category. For example, the Dolls had four entries, so that category was awarded one ribbon. The Wall and Bed Quilts had many entries, so 19 ribbons were awarded among those categories. The voting was especially difficult – so many beautiful and clever pieces of art. Thank you to our dedicated ‘Viewers’.

Congratulations to the winners!

Art Quilts on Display

Independence Hall Quilters

What a fun-packed time at IHQ today!
A short Quarterly Business Meeting, then on to a special trunk show by Sandra Mollon, an International professional instructor, and author.

Sandra lives in our own Calaveras County and is not a stranger to our guild. We look forward to her teaching a class in May on her art quilt technique.  Students in her class will be working on photographic images transformed into art quilts.

We will be working on an appliqued Lily similar to this one:

 

The walls of the main room were covered with gorgeous artwork  At first glance, many looked like photographs. Until you took a closer look and could see the intricate piecing and quilting.

Really Close Up

Since Sandra was here today we were able to book a different class for 2021. She will teach her Thread Painting technique that she used while making this artwork:

Thank you so much for sharing your art, Sandra!  We will see you back in May.
