Our June meeting brought us a beautiful sunny evening, so welcome after many cool grey days.
Our speaker Dawn Cameron Dick had an equally sunny disposition.
Dawn is a textile artist and teacher of many years experience. It was the progression of these years that led to the title "One Woman Show".
We saw her very first quilt, in fact she had forgotten it until her son produced it for "renovation" for his own child having kept it since his own childhood.
We saw her quilts in chronological order and she explained her ideas and methods which led to the development of her own style.
We saw her signature technique of invisible machine applique and those who joined her the next day for her workshop also had a chance to use reverse hand applique.
Dawn was an excellent speaker with great humour. Interestingly although she sews commissions her love is of teaching rather than being competitive.
One could not fail to be impressed with her volume of quilting even on large quilts, many of them being hand quilted.
Our speaker for June is Dawn Cameron Dick with her talk entitled "One Woman Show".
Dawn has over 40 years experience working in the textiles industry and is best known for her signature technique ‘Invisible Machine Appliqué’. She teaches all over the world including the Festival of Quilts, Houston Quilt Festival & QuiltEuro. Dawn has written four books, presented on a TV sales channel, filmed classes for Just Hands on TV and filmed her own DVDs.
