Mid Valley Quilt Guild March meeting Jean Wells

Today was our monthly meeting and our guest speaker was Jean Wells from Sisters OR. She is a nationally speaker and book author of quilting. She has the The Stitchin' Post quilt shop and has the largest outdoor Quilt show in the country(2nd Sat in July). She drove from Sisters this morning and forgot her computer with her power-point presentation. She didn't need it because she is an excellent speaker. She told how she got started in quilting and her new adventures in art quilting. She had several of her quilts from the her new book to show us. The book is called "Intuitive Color and Design. It was very interesting how to use lines/designs and use of color. I'm taking her 1 day workshop tomorrow called Quilt Design Exploration from 9:00-3:00. This will be a new and different type of quilting for me. I wanted to take classes that are out of my comfort zone and learn new ideas and techniques. I will post about the workshop and pictures.
