October 5, 2024 | Saturday, October 5, 2024 our Quarterly General Meeting - In Person and on Zoom at Sewing Arts, 2306 Corinth Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90064. Social Hour at 9:30, Meeting from 10:00am to 12:00pm. Our speaker will be Julia McLeod on "Everything But Cotton".Let’s explore the world of quilts that were made with what I call ‘Not Cottons’. When quilters don’t have access to a stash of quilter’s cotton, what do they turn to? This one hour lecture, trunk show and Q & A session shows quilts – antique and modern – made of wool, silk, polyester and more. The trunk show of my own work shows what you can create with neckties, saris, kimonos and other unusual, ‘not cotton’ textiles. For more about Julia see the Programs page. |
