One is a checklist that can be used as a guideline when looking at a quilt - this is published on her website as part of her creative strength training class.

The second is a detailed essay she wrote concerning the process.

I hope that these documents will help the Bee Artful group conduct critique sessions that are productive.

July's workshop with Susan Barrett was a lot of fun as you can see from the pics above. Bring any finished pieces to our meeting in August. In August we will also have some examples of a "Study in Black" by Janice along with Show and Tell. Bring any projects you want to work on as well. Then we have botanical printing with a heat press at Geri's in September. See above for details. Keep pedaling and stitching ladies!

I am happy to convey all of these wonderful "goings on" via this newsletter. Try to get things to me in advance of the end of the month via email (mandmoliver@gmail.com) or text. If you put the word "newsletter" somewhere in the message line I will be able to find it easier (if using email). See you soon.
