Our next Membership Meeting and Annual Meeting is Tuesday April 22nd at the Hotel Venezia.
At the Annual Meeting, members will elect new board members, vote on the budget for 25-26 and vote on the proposed Bylaws updates.
Our speaker will be Jennifer Houlden on "Mastering Contrast in our Quilts ".  Using contrast in the form of fabrics with different textures, patterns and value is one of the first steps to creating contrast in quilts and textile art. Adding embellishments such as thread play, couching, beading, painting, and other mixed media can also create contrast by adding dimension and texture within the piece. Most importantly a design or concept is needed to expand on. Using some or all of these different techniques – the ideas will be never ending. 
Join Jen as she explores the world of contrast and learn a few tips, tricks and techniques that you can incorporate into your quilt making and art to boost the contrast in your work.  To learn more about Jen and her work, visit  https://quiltsbyjen.ca/
