      Author and Speaker, Meg Cox

      We are thrilled to welcome Meg Cox as our May meeting speaker. Meg is a nationally known leader on the topics of quilting and family traditions. Her expertise on quilting stems partly from the 25 years that she has been a passionate quilter. She served on the board of the national nonprofit Quilt Alliance for ten years and was President for 6 years. She has been published by dozens of national magazines and the Wall Street Journal, where she was a staff reporter for 17 years. She is the author of The Book of New Family Traditions, The Quilter's Catalog, The Heart of a Family, and Got Traditions?

       

      Meg will be speaking on Behind the Scenes of the Greatest Quilt Museum in the World, and we will see many of the quilts featured at the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. Meg will also share how we can view those amazing quilts online at our leisure.

      Art and Landscape Quilting with Lori Dickman

      Lori Dickman will demonstrate her techniques on how she portrays her love of nature in beautiful art and landscape quilts. She’ll inspire us with her simple and amazing applique and thread techniques, and she’ll demo how she incorporates her love of ‘scraps’ in her art quilts to create visual eye appeal and drama. Lori's presentation will be followed by a workshop on Saturday, March 6th, to work on Sleepy Sunflower art quilts. What fun!
