Bonnie Hunter’s Texas Tumbleweeds Class, from her book, “More Adventures with Leaders and Enders" and her Saturday class, Smith Mountain Morning, from “Scraps & Shirttails 2” was well attended and enjoyed by all the participants. Check out the pictures from Bonnie’s Trunk Show and the class on pages 8-10 of this month's KPQG Newsletter. Sixty-two people attended Bonnie Hunter’s Trunk Show.
Don’t forget Anelie Belden’s two-day class, "Thoroughly Modern Dresden", scheduled for August 7 & 8 at Christ Lutheran Church in Soldotna. The classes start at 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Friday and Saturday. Friday evening, starting at 7:00 pm, there will be a lecture and a Trunk Show open to the public at no cost. Anelie Belden comes to us from Volcano, California. Anelie began her sewing career working in the fashion industry. After owning her own quilt shop and teaching classes, Anelie began designing quilts. Her piecing technique has been demonstrated on “The Quilt Show”, which stars Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. Anelie Belden has taught at Quilt Guilds throughout the country and the Houston Quilt Festival. Her quilts have been featured in Quiltmaker’s Magazine and The Art of the Quilt Calendar.
The Guild will be sponsoring Susan Else, a soft sculpture artist and teacher, on May 20-21, 2016. Susan will be teaching a hands-on workshop exploring techniques for making organic 3D in fabric. Check out her website at www.susanelse.com A trunk show is scheduled for Friday evening.
