Lecture by Carole Harris: MY JOURNEY AS AN ARTIST
Carole Harris is a fiber artist who has redefined and subverted the concepts of quilting to suit her own purposes. She extends the boundaries of the tradition beyond utilitarian usage through explorations that include other forms of stitchery, irregular shapes, textures, materials and objects. Her work has received numerous awards and has been exhibited and published extensively. Highlights include a 2014 solo exhibition at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts (Rochester, MI) and inclusion in the exhibition “The Sum of Many Parts: 25 Quiltmaker in 21st Century America” which toured China, where she was a guest lecturer.

This lecture follows the business meeting on Quilt Day.
Following the Quilt Day Meeting, a Garage Sale will take place.

Join us for a weekend of learning, friendship and fun! A wide selection of classes will allow you to sharpen your skills or maybe venture off in a different direction and try something new. And if you can only join us for one day, or two days, that is completely acceptable. However, to get the maximum benefit, the recommendation is for a full weekend of classes! Mark your calendars for July 28-30, 2017. Classes announced and registration open for GAAQG members on March 18, 2017. Registration for non-members begins May 1, 2017, based on availability.

GAAQG member, instructor and author of Rule Breaking Quilts, Kathy Schmidt will teach hand stitching and the basics of embroidery and beading. Click here for some examples of her beaded work.

Experience Level: Some experience with free cut piecing needed
If you are comfortable with free cut/improvisational piecing, GAAQG member and instructor Mary Bajcz will help you in this Friday class to try your hand piecing more complex subject matter, like compound leaves, simple flowers, fruits, veggies, birds, traditional quilt blocks like New York Beauty, abstract units or ???. There are so many possibilities and it only takes two pieces of fabric to check out one’s ideas!

Event Details
In this Friday class, gather up your scraps bring them to class along with a background that reads solid (Black) and have fun with Wanda Nash, making this dynamic
and colorful quilt. Any size scraps will work as long as you can get a 6” length from it and as little as a 1- ½ wide strip is prefect. The more scraps you have the better, and they do not have to be perfect. So search around your sewing room to find whatever qualifies and brings them to class. There will be a prize for the quilter or quilters that has the most scraps as defined by the class participants. Wanda will have loads that you can use as long as you use them in class. At the end of class you will see several different designs that you can make with the same block, as well as a few more with different blocks.

Event Details
Jean Coleman’s objective in teaching this Friday class is for you to learn the technique to achieve this kaleidoscope effect. She plans to teach a block with 4 repeats. You will probably end up with 16 or 20 blocks. What you do with these blocks is up to you. You could make them into place mats, a table runner, a lap quilt, a baby quilt, or a throw. If you like what you have and want to make it into something large, add borders or go back to the store where you purchased the fabric and buy more to make more blocks. A different horizontal cut from the same fabric will yield an entirely different set of blocks. Learn more about Jean in our blog interview.
