Lecture and Trunk Show
Joy-Lily is a silk painter, fabric dyer, fabric printer and quilt maker. She is inspired by the natural world: shells, flowers, and leaves offer endless choices of colors and forms to celebrate. She believes we are all born artists and that some of us may have had our creativity stifled at an early age. Joy-Lily will share her quilts and quilt journey with us in her lecture at our June meeting.

Mid-Century Modern Quilts
Mid-Century Modern Quilts lecture: The 1950s through 1970s produced some fabulous design that still remains current today, but did mid-century modern styles influence quilting? While pointing out period quilt artists who did work in an identifiably MCM style, the lecture also considers why there weren’t more of them, and how I look to other areas of mid-century design to bring the flavor of this exciting period to my quilts. The accompanying slide show will show historical quilts and other source material, while my MCM-influenced quilts will be presented in trunk-show style.

Quirky Old Quilts
Claire has been collecting vintage tops and quilts for about 10 years. Since she has a great interest in quilt history, she has organized her collection into a talk focusing on the collection process and interesting quilt history facts she’s picked up along the way. Claire explains, “I don’t collect what most quilt collectors collect; I’m partial to the ‘odd ducks’ in the crowd so my collection includes some interesting mistakes and unusual quilts and tops. It’s a fun look at a fascinating topic.”
