OCTOBER 15 MEETING - Speaker will be Trish Hastings-Sargent - Art and Thread
Raised in the historic New England textile city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, Trish attended Southeastern MA University. She majored in graphic design so she could minor in photography which was her love. After receiving her Bachelor of Fine and Applied Arts degree, Trish worked in the studio of a professional Boston photographer as a designer. Her artist's statement reads: Since my family worked in the New Bedford textile mills, there were plenty of fabric scraps around our house. My earliest memories as a child are of playing in this fabric stash. With needle and thread, I would sit and create. As an adult, my love of fabric has not waned. I cannot resist using the wide variety of textures, colors, and patterns in my work. I also hand dye or paint fabric to achieve the look I want. I strive to accomplish realism in my art, which is challenging with my medium of fiber. My current work starts with one of my original photographs for the inspiration and guide for my finished art. I use commercial fabrics, upholstery fabrics, satins, hand dyes, and more. Free motion stitching is the technique I use to add shading and details.
OCTOBER PROGRAM
October 16 -Trish Hastings-Sargent - Thread Painting a Summer Meadow
($40 for members, $45 for non-members) Signup Genius Pay Online
Trish creates realistic landscape art from original photographs. Her favorite subjects include desert, mountain scenes and the magnificent Arizona sunsets. Her imagery has its realistic look because she keeps in mind some very important elements: perspective, object proportion, foreground, mid-ground, background, and direction of the light source. Trish will start with a talk and demonstration, and then the student will spend the rest of the time creating their own landscapes. You will not need a sewing machine for this beginner class. Her class is limited to 15 students.

WELCOME UFO’ers.... All you need is up to 12 unfinished projects and $5 to start. Each month a project number will be pulled. This is your incentive to get that project done by the next guild meeting. Before the meeting, show me the finished project and you will get signed off and given a ticket that will go into the pot for the end-of-the-year drawing. The more finished projects, the more tickets you have in for the drawing...you could be the winner of the 50/50 pot! The more people that sign up, the bigger the pot. This year you will be allowed to have 3 quilt tops (not quilted but donated) that will earn tickets for the drawing,
