The Textile Artists of Greater Yellowstone met at the Grizzly Room at the Cody Library for their meeting and 2021 Christmas Party. (December is way too busy for all of us, so the Party is generally in January). Present were Carol, Kris, Alice, Judy, Sue, Pam, Jan W., Jan H., Jeanette, Bart, Lili and Ellen. Each member brought their own lunch.
Monthly Challenge: It was decided that we would follow the example of the Fast Friday Quilt Challenge that some of the members have done. Except you will have a month to complete the challenge. Please refer to www.fastfridayquilts.blogspot.com to gain knowledge of what the monthly challenge will be. Each month, a TAGY member will "host" a challenge. If you are the host, you can decide if it is a technique, theme, color, etc. It will be up to the host to decide. You will find instructions on this BLOG for each monthly challenge. There is a sign-up sheet for you to be the host on a given month.
For January, Pam has presented a challenge to take a quilt block (orphan quilt block/orphan quilt, as she puts it) and cut it up to redesign it into something interesting. Bring it to the February meeting and show it. We can grow from this if we also kindly critique a piece. Fear not! We are a gentile group interested in growing our talents and skills in our artwork. The guidelines for this will be posted soon. In the meantime, take a look at Quilting Arts Magazine Oct/Nov 2020. Or log into QATV_2600_eBook_final.pdf (quiltingdaily.com) This will give you some ideas.
More information will follow on this soon.
Note: This is not in place of the monthly programs. That is a different sign up sheet.
