September 2022 North Coast Needlers meeting

 At September's brief meeting a couple of the items discussed were next year's quilt show and the current opportunity quilt  that will be raffled off at the Rocky River Harvest Holiday Show this November.  After the meeting many members shared their wonderous projects filled with color, embroidery, artistry and awe.  Thank you all for sharing!  Below are just a few of the many inspiring projects presented.

After the meeting we enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Deb Strain, artist and fabric designer.  Deb has been designing for Moda Fabrics for 25 years.  Her passion for art takes her beyond fabrics, as her artwork is featured on calendars, greening cards, garden flags, books, framed printed and more.

Deb took us through her process from idea, to drawing, adding color stories, to fabric and then to the stores for customers to purchase and turn into wonderful projects and quilts..  It was a fascinating journey with her joy of art and her profession.  Deb has accompanied by her partner in crime,  husband Scott.
