May Meeting

Our speaker for May is Barbara Janson.  Barbara is from Scottsdale and teaches at "Sew from the Heart".

Her presentation is titled "The Art of Landscape Quilting", and she will also have a trunk show. At the recent Arizona Quilt Guild competition, she won first place in both the Pictorial and Theme divisions for her quilts. This past year she has been working as one of the main artists and designers for the 2012 Arizona Centennial Quilt Project. This colorful pictorial two sided quilt will tour our state next year to honor our 100th birthday. With over 400 images and appliques of historical places, native Arizona peoples, animal and birds, floral and fauna-- it was quite a project.

Even though we are not a "quilting" group, we know you will find her and her work fascinating!
