Our guest presenter will be Mary Kerr, AQS Certified Quilt Appraiser, lecturer, author, curator and workshop leader.
You won’t want to miss her presentation called, “A Woman’s Voice.” She will show us how women expressed their opinions, political viewpoints, and dissatisfaction of their times with their needlework skills. She will use her collection of antique and contemporary quilts and some garments to illustrate her points.
The Fling will begin at 10:00 a.m. with introductory remarks from NOVA ASG officers followed by Mary Kerr’s presentation. When her talk has ended, we will plan a short break for you to gather your own delicious lunch!
Susan Murphy, our Chapter Secretary will reconvene the gathering and present a slide show of our garments and projects while we eat. That will be followed by the introduction of our Charity Sew project for this year presented by Special Events Coordinator, Kathy Saladino. During and after our lunch break we will also have an ongoing game. The Fling will conclude by announcing the game winners and distributing prizes!!
For the slide show of garments and projects, please e-mail a picture of your latest creation or project with a short caption:
- Pattern company and pattern number or name
- Project made for XXX Charity (such as Fredericksburg Social services)
- Fabric source, book or magazine issue (e.g., Burda 03/2021) or any other details a fellow enthusiast would want to know!
- Due date for pictures is April 17, 2021. Check GroupWorks for the email address.
We are looking forward to this event and hoping it can be in person again in 2022!
