“Following the Inspiration”
Where does a quilt idea come from and how does it get from an idea to an actual quilt? Fern’s lecture and trunk show describes the starting point (inspiration) of each of her quilts and the path it took to completion, including the steps or missteps, quick gestation or months/years long process.
October 1 Lisa Thorpe
Her topic: Surface Design
In her trunk show she will share the ways to play with surface design to create mixed media fabric art. She will bring examples to see and touch, show how to incorporate self printed fabrics such as gel print, stamped and marbled fabric as well as digital design to create unique and personal art. She will demonstrate the ease of some photo manipulation apps in creating focal point images for art quilts and share info about apps and products to work with.
September3, 2019 Robin Lynde
Robin is the owner of Meridian Jacobs Sheep Farm in the Vacaville area. Robin specializes in raising the multi-horned, black and white sheep for the quality of their wool. Her products are a favorite of spinners, weavers and knitters.
Her topic: " Fibershed - Bringing Sustainability to Fiber Farming"
From Robin: The Fibershed concept began with one woman's personal challenge to cloth herself for a year by sourcing all materials and labor from within 150 miles of her home. In a relatively short time Fibershed has become a non-profit organization and a movement with influence and affiliates around the country. I provided wool for that one-year wardrobe and have been a supporter ever since. I am a founding board member of the newly formed Northern California Fibershed Marketplace Agricultural Coop, an entity that will support direct marketing of our locally produced goods. I will talk about the Fibershed concept and programs, briefly discuss issues with the global textile industry, and explain what Fibershed has done for me as a sheep farmer. Presentation includes PowerPoint slides and a "trunk show" of fiber, yarn, handwoven articles, and other farm products.
