" BRENDA MILLER - PATTERN DESIGNER  "

September has rolled around again and we look forward with anticipation to exciting and inspiring programs at our monthly meetings.

This month our speaker is Brenda Miller, whose pattern line – "Among Brenda‘s Quilts" is spreading across the quilt world. Her inspirational Lecture/Trunk show is entitled

"Developing The Designer In You" - a perfect theme to begin the year!!!

We will also be welcoming Louisa Russell from Sakura House, the new hospice in Wood-stock, who will tell us about a special fundraiser - Bags for Hospice - that they are organizing. Brenda‘s wonderful purse and bag patterns, which will be available for sale at the meeting, may well inspire you to make and donate a purse or bag to this worthy project.

"Pieces of Magic" – will be a hot topic at this meeting, with the final push for quilts, quilted items and VOLUNTEERS. We need your participation in all areas to make this show #1 !!

Members will now be required to sign each month when arriving.

Admission for all guests will be $10.00

Joen Wolfrom

Joen began quilt making in 1974 after she left her career in the educational field to become a homemaker. Her interest in color, design, and technical exploration surfaced in the early 1980s. She is noted for being the innovator of several techniques, including strip-pieced landscapes, pictorial log cabin quilts, and organic curved designs (overall curved designs). She was the innovator of the free-form freezer paper technique, which is often used in curved and straight-line piecing. Her work is included in collections throughout the world. Joen has taught and lectured both nationally and internationally since 1984. She is the author of six books: Landscapes & Illusions; The Magical Effects of Color; The Visual Dance; Patchwork Persuasion-Fascinating Quilts from Traditional Designs; Make Any Block Any Size and Color Play. In 2002 she developed the 3-in-1 Color Tool, an innovative tool for selecting colors and fabrics. Joen has created over 200 block designs during the past three decades.
