Deborah Boschert presents her “Signature Style”

Emerging artist Deborah Boschert, one of DAFA’s own, spoke at the guild’s March meeting, presenting her new slide talk, “Stitching, Symbols, Signature Style,” and showing several of her award-winning art quilts. She shared many of her favorite techniques, materials and themes and traced the ways in which collaborations and moves around the country have influenced her work.

Deborah will lead a weekend workshop for DAFA on Saturday and Sunday, May 2-3. Find details about Dynamic Guided Designs for Fabric Collage on the DAFA website.

Patsi Davila, an avowed “trash makeover artist,” led the March mini-workshop, “Fun, Fabulous Recycled Fabric Beads.”
