Margaret Horton thought we would like to look at this challenge and maybe take part as individuals. The portrait does not have to be painted it can be stitched

Today's meeting

Today

We were all very inspired by Greta Fitchen's talk today.

 She contributes regularly to craft magazines and books.

 She brought many quilts to show us. They were Art quilts and lots of techniques were combined to make interesting work. Backgrounds were painted and textured . Patchwork was embellished with stitching. They usually followed a theme often inspired by her travels.

I'm also putting a picture of some of the postcards members have finished.
