Guild
member Carrie Payne presented the July program. In her slide presentation,
Carrie described her quilt making history. Her people quilts, mostly figures of
girls, started with white faces, which she thought were too bland. Then she
discovered text fabric to give texture to her figures’ faces and limbs. Carrie
uses a variety of embellishments. She pre-quilts the backgrounds and pre-fuses
the figures. Then she has the flexibility to match a figure to the background
that suits her theme for that quilt. Carrie’s web site is www.believemagic.com. She sells her
fabric, patterns, and quilts in the Etsy store. She also teaches an on-line
class.
After Carrie's program, guild members showed their recent quilts.

| During her trip to Road to California, Harmony became interested in shaving cream fabric marbling but hadn't tried it. Then her husband did some in a class he teaches for science teachers, came home excited that it would be something Harmony would enjoy, and showed her how to do it. She used her fabric in this little wall-hanging for the small quilt auction. |
