| Ohio LongArm Quilters September 19, 2009 Meeting |
| Hosted by: Diane Wantz & JoEllen Graziadei Location: Mentor Public Library 8215 Mentor Ave Mentor, OH 44060 440-255-8811 Meeting Time: 11:00am Program: Anne Larson, felting artist |
Larson. She will do a demo on felting which can encompass many things. Anne has made numerous projects including purses, hats and many other large items. However, this class will focus on using needle-felting to embellish quilted pieces. She will have kits for every member so there will be audience participation and members will have what they need if this is something they want to pursue on a future project. The hostesses are each going to each make a small piece (table runner) and give them to Anne so she can work her magic with felt and show the group some of the creative possibilities with this technique. Anne will also bring her own pieces for a trunk show. If time allows she can also discuss/demo needle-felting by machine. Lunch: Lunch will be provided by the hostesses. A "Bountiful Harvest Buffet" will be offered. Each member will pay a $10.00 fee. Personal checks should be made out to Ohio LongArm Quilters. Please have your money/OLAQ bucks to Bobbie by September 15th so we have an accurate head count. Guests' lunch money must also be in by the 15th. Mail checks and OLAQ to: Bobbie Badovick
