A sunny hot day to welcome us and summer back!
We need you to bring your scrolls to the next meeting in August so we can decide how best to hang them at the show. They must have your name on the back.
We have a new Steering Committee to take charge in September! Thank you so much to Shirley W., Joan, Linda W. and Shirley P. for stepping up and offering to lead us into a new season. Cath will continue to do the blog. More information will be coming. As usual we know that everyone will contribute ideas and expertise to share.
The August meeting will be a swap meet, related to Art Quilting of course! Fabric, books, beads, embellishments, threads etc. We will also have 3 work stations to explore various methods of printing on fabric. Vegetable printing, flower pounding and sun printing.
Show and Tell
Bev brought in flowers she has made for the QuArtz display at the quilt show.
Joan made butterflies as well and showed us some paper collage pieces she has mounted on canvas.
Linda W. has been trying her hand at gelli printing even before today's demo! And playing in her sketchbook as well.

Roll off page is great too! |
Christine used a stencil and her gelli plate to make the birds in this sweet wall hanging.
Then we were on to Gelli Plate Printing. Sandie gave us demo's in the basics and continued to show us new techniques and then off we went to try them out.
I don't have names to go with all of the pieces but enjoy looking at such an amazing variety of colour and texture.
Some of the roll off sheets were works of art in themselves.

A bit of water on the gelli plate makes for interesting marks. |
