April Meeting
"Collage just got bigger" was the title of Sarah Hibbert's presentation on the first evening meeting of 2025.
We certainly saw some large quilts with large designs. Originally Sarah had produced some more traditional work and hand quilting. Later she found an interest in more abstract designs.
I personally, not being particularly proficient at art and design, was fascinated with her process of producing modern abstract designs. As a starting point she cuts/tears paper before arranging them as a stepping stone to her quilts using mainly solid colours, often with a limited palette.
Sarah was an interesting speaker, often sharing humorous details of producing quilts even if they illustrated problems she faced, including a grandchild dyed blue by a non-colourfast fabric.
