January 2025 Meeting

We are back and ready to sew and socialize for the new year!  It was great to see smiling faces and folks eager to create fun and beautiful projects as well as produce community service projects of quilts, dog beds, pillowcases and more.  We had a quick meeting to take care of business and then off to show and tell!

After the meeting we welcomed our guest,  Heidi Massingill,  local dressmaker, designer, costumer, tailor, fiber artist, modern quilter and more!  Heidi walked us through her journey of sewing.  Heidi has inspired many sewists of all ages and inspired our guild with her many wonderful modern takes on quilting.  It was a joy to hear her story!

May 2024

After the May general meeting, members who participated in the NCN Round Robin shared their results.  If was fun to see the quilt tops created with this group of guild members.

Then members shared their Show and Tell projects as well as quilts for community service.  We always have wonderful and creative projects.  It's always inspiring to see what our members will create next!

After show and tell and a quick break we enjoyed a zoom presentation by Patricia Belyea who lives in Washington state.  Patricia and her daughter Victoria are owners of Okan Arts.  Their West Coast business imports vintage textiles from Japan, runs quilting workshops and lead tours to Japan. https://okanarts.com/ .  Patricia's talk centered on "Spirit Quilts".  Patricia has created many unique quilts using clothing items celebrating or mourning the life of loved ones.  It was a very interesting talk and opened our minds to more possibilities of creating memory quilts in the future.

April 2024 meeting

April brought an abundance of community service projects that the members completed.  The quilts had designs from the simple to the sophisticated.  All the quilts were created with love.  We all have so many ways to help those around us and so many members that participate in creating of quilts, pillowcases and dog beds that we share with those less fortunate

in the Cleveland area.

After our meeting and community service quilt parade, the members got their chance to share the  projects that they have been creating.  We had bags ,notebooks, quilts and more that were embroidered, painted, hand stitched and sewn.  So many wonderful ideas and pieces that were completed by our creative members.

After a quick break we were entertained by our guest speaker Barbara Richardson. Barbara has many years of experience with color through her career with paint companies.  Barbara now has her own business, Emerald and Violet Studio in Olmsted Falls. She shared with us how color can affect our mood by changing the room color or just a few elements in the room. Barbara also brought handmade paper bookmarks for everyone in attendance.   Barbara offers classes in paper designs, creates portraits and illustrations.  Check out Barbara's website for more information https://www.emeraldandvioletstudio.com/
