January 8th- Jim Vander Noot (In-Person)

Quilting: Beyond Cotton

As art quilters, we introduce non-traditional materials into our work. Typically, we start by embellishing, adding silks, organza, tulle, to achieve textures and other effects. But we can use unusual materials as a base layer for mixed media art quilts.
Formerly of West Chester, HSQ member at large, and actively quilting and exhibiting in the quilting and arts community in Maine, including men’s quilting groups. Jim continues to take classes in novel techniques and we are looking forward to seeing some of his new creations and directions.

February 12th – Jean Gerow (Zoom)

“My ideas begin with walks in nature.  Inspired by a flower, stump or other natural wonder, I create art and base it on the photos I take.  I try to evoke the beauty found in woodland settings by incorporating vibrant colors and varying textures in my pieces.  Each piece is an invitation to go outside and explore nature’s gifts.

I use batik fabrics, fusible applique techniques and free-motion quilting in my art.”

March 12th – Majorie Aronson

I consider my work “artistic and colorful, with the hope that the viewer will move in closer to the pieces to see all there is to see. I took a one and only quilt cruise many years ago and learned how to make art quilts, specifically landscape quilts. The huge under-the-bed storage bin holds hidden treasures for me when the spirit moves to start yet another landscape. Until recently, my landscapes were pure imagination, originating from what was hidden in the storage bin. I took a class from Nancy Hershberger and from that encounter learned how to use a photograph for my design. I’ll share with you tonight some of my work with the hope to inspire you to try something new and exciting.
