2023 Meetings, Programs and More to look forward to!
(Sign up forms for workshops will be added as they become available.)
February 20, 2023 – Julie Clason trunk show – One of our newest members, Julie Clason, from Hudsonville, will share about her journey with needle arts and quilting, focusing on the many hand-stitched details she enjoys adding to her pieces. Her quilts utilize a variety of techniques and textiles to achieve layers of stitching and personal expression. They are in some sense textile journals, with an intention to create a body of work that serves as a soft answer to the deeper questions of faith and life she would like to leave as her legacy. Julie loves incorporating “found” or further manipulated materials to imbue each piece with a sense of richer provenance. Her philosophy of quilting stems from its origins as a frugal domestic art accessible to anyone.
