At our October meeting we had the pleasure of hosting Lisa Flowers Ross. She spoke about what inspires her artwork, as well as her artistic process. Best of all she brought many quilts to share with us!
We also had many members bring quilts to share.
Congratulations to our own Angela for making it as a finalist with the Modern Quilt Guild Riley Blake Fabric Challenge! Way to go! Check out photos of her entry below. For more on how Angela made the mini-quilt check out her website.
When: Saturday, October 24, 1 pm – 4 pm
Where: Boise Public Library, 715 S Capitol Blvd, Boise, ID (Marion Bingham Room on 3rd floor)
This month we are excited to have Lisa Flowers Ross speaking to our group about her work. Lisa is a local artist who has an art degree in drawing and a business degree. Her introduction to fabric began when her friend asked her to take a quilt class with her. Later, she realized she could use fabric as a medium for her art and created her first fabric piece in 2001. Since then she has continued working in fabric, has become proficient in free-motion stitching and hand-dyeing her own fabrics.
Lisa’s abstract artworks have been shown regionally and nationally in exhibitions. She is a professional member of the Studio Art Quilt Associates organization, Northwest Designer Craftsmen, Visions Art Museum and Boise Open Studio Collective Organization. Lisa also has worked intermittently as a curatorial assistant at the Boise Art Museum for over 20 years helping with exhibitions. Check out her website to learn more about her work http://lisaflowersross.net.
As always, please bring your completed modern projects and your BOM to share with the group.
