Victoria Vanderlinden 

"The Color Value Game"

Our June meeting was a busy one; starting off with our Annual General Meeting and the Election of a new Executive for the upcoming year. 

 Following this, Victoria Vanderlinden gave us an informative talk about the terminology used in describing color; a trunk show to demonstrate these terms; and also a game to test our new knowledge of "Value" in color theory. 

Here are a few pictures of the quilts that Victoria brought to the meeting.

Salsa Piquant!

And "Moca Cremes"  that everyone loves!

Martha Schellingerhoude

Master of Quilt as you go!

At our May 11th Meeting, we had a trunk show with the phenomenal quilter Martha Schellingerhoud. 

 It was amazing to see the huge quilts she had designed, and made completely on a domestic machine. 

We were also fortunate to have her teach two workshops on Quilting in Sections.  This was an opportunity to learn three different methods of quilting on a domestic machine that she has invented. 

Here is a selection of the quilts she showed us during the trunk show.
