Salt Creek Quilters April Meeting

EVERYONE IS WELCOME
Lecture 7:00pm
Guest speaker:

Laura Strickland is an art quilter and pattern designer, living on the banks of the Mississippi River in East Moline, Illinois. Her quilt patterns have a Mid-century Modern / Pop Culture aesthetic. She has come to quilting from a formal art background. Her fiber arts instructor at Virginia’s Governor’s School for the Arts, Lynn Sword, inspired her to pursue a love of where needle and thread meet color and design.

Drawing on her education in art history, design principles, and color theory she has chosen cloth as her main medium for expression. She is a teacher by nature. Sewing and fiber arts have been her passion since she was a little girl. She makes portrait art quilts, unique “quilty” objects, and has developed a signature trademarked technique, “Effervescent Applique”. Her quilting journey began almost 30 years ago, and she is
enjoying the adventure still.
