Join us virtually for August’s General Meeting. This month's speaker is Lyric Kinard, speaking on "Playful Portraiture: Making Faces in Fabric". 

Lecture description:

Faces are fascinating! It's amazing how varied and beautiful humans are and how the quirk of an eyebrow or the twitch of a lip can convey an entire range of emotion. 

This lecture looks at faces made of fabric from the entire range of the quilt spectrum. We will examine simple and cartoonlike funny faces, created with free cut collage appliqué as well as carefully planned and exquisite photo realistic figurative work. 

Look at faces and figures made by quilters from around the world starting with simple collage and moving towards more complex construction techniques. Lyric will show you some of the process for her own figurative work and share her sometimes up, sometimes down journey through the fascinating world of making faces in fabric. 

Lyric will speak at 7pm, followed by our guild announcements and sew and tell.  

We will have breakout rooms before and after the meeting. When you join the meeting on August 9th, we’ll put you in a breakout room, so you can chat with a smaller group until 7pm. Similarly, after the meeting, we will open some breakout rooms so that anyone who wants to hang around and chat can do so.

Remember to send your photos for Sew and Tell to hello@seattlemqg.com by 8pm, Tuesday, August 8th.
