Landscape Collage Quilts

ASG Member and quilter Linda Boone brought numerous bags of fabric, examples of 8 x 10 Landscape Collage Quilts for inspiration, and shared all the details for making our own work of art. Over twenty ladies got busy choosing fabrics and placing them on a foundation fabric. Just check out some of the beauties below.

There were 4 tables of fabric to choose from to our heart's content!

A Day of Creativity With Fit for Art Patterns

We had a very successful event with Fit for Art patterns on Saturday, Dec 3 in Charlottesville.  The venue was fantastic. Thanks to the 30 attendees who came from Richmond, Charlottesville and Northern VA areas to spend the day playing with fabrics, yarns, threads and being very creative.  Rae and Carrie inspired us with their samples and a trunk show of their garments showcasing the techniques we were learning. A big THANK YOU to our members who dedicated a lot of their time to making this event so successful; Julie Bowersett, Ann-Marie Schare, Lisa Stewart and Dianne Waller.
