Content, Concepts & Quilts: Approaching Quilting as a Graphic Designer
"I’m an artist who blends principles of graphic design and quilting techniques to create work that can be decorative, functional, or both. My work blurs the divisions between art, design, and craft. In other words, I make quilts that are art".
Guild meetings are held at United Methodist Church in Lodi, WI, on the first Monday of each month (second Monday if the first is a legal holiday) at 7:00 p.m. Meetings are open to everyone. Members come free, non-members may come for free to their first meeting, $3.00 per meeting after that. At times, there may be a higher fee charged to non-members due to the program, speaker, or event. ZOOM meetings are for Members only and are held December - February.
