The May 3rd lecture will be presented by Dan Burke and John Putnam of Flint, Michigan. www.quiltingbytheriver.com and www.johnthequilter.smugmug.com

Lecture: “Two Men and a Trunk”, Dan Burke & John Putnam, found quilting a unique form for expressing their talents. Both had other careers and evolved into the world of fabric and quilting. We’ll see a man’s perspective of form, color and technique.

The Whistle Stop program at the April 5th OCQG meeting will include several “stations” of sewing interest. The members will be divided into three groups. Each group will start at a different station and then every 15 – 20 minutes each group will proceed to the next station until each group has visited every station.

Three demos will be featured - Color by Lynn Czar, Christmas Ornament by Rita Weitendorf, and Quilt As You Go with Strip Sashing by Ruth McCormick

This is the introduction to her website, in Aniko’s own words:

Lecture Title: Award Winning Techniques for Fusing Fabrics

Lenore Crawford's fabric art combine her love of France, their architecture, and flower gardens along with her passion for color and realism. Their texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself along with fabric painting give the art an impressionistic feeling that only this medium can produce. She has won several prizes for her art and continues to develop and grow her medium and style in new and beautiful ways.
