ART QUILT GROUP
The Art Quilt Group is a subgroup of Valley Stitchers that explores different and unusual ways to use fiber and fabric to make unconventional quilts as works of art. We are a multi-talented group with each member creating diverse and unique designs. Art quilts are our starting point for sharing all types of projects and doing group challenges. We share ideas, exchange advice and explore interesting techniques and experiences together. We work on a variety of challenge projects that expand our member's creativity along with our annual favorite, the "Pass the Envelope" challenge.
Meeting Information - Due to COVID we are now meeting on Zoom every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 2:00 p.m.
Contact: Margaret Winter or Mariet Nieskens at valleystitchersguild@gmail.com
