March Program Sunday, March 17.

Our program for this month will be Allie McCathren presenting her Seaglass Workshop. Allie is an artist with a background in marine biology. She lives in Houston, TX with her three sons. Her love of science and nature tends to find its way into her work, whether she intends it or not.

Allie works primarily with fabric and thread, but is also a painter, working with acrylics and watercolors. She uses fabric as if it were paint, working with color arrangement and texture to create her art quilts. She is a modern quilter who uses a lot of improv techniques in her work. She loves working with scraps of fabrics that one may not think work together. It can be difficult to figure out how to use scraps efficiently, especially if they don’t seem to “work” together.

Alliee will guide you through her process of organization and usage of scraps so that you may learn to look at fabric in a new way.

This is a 5 hour workshop. Therefore, we will move the starting time for our meeting to 11:00 a.m. Sunday, March 17.
