Art quilter and mixed-media artist Sara Miller-Moe brought a
lively program and trunk show to DAFA’s regular meeting on Monday, August 26.
In a presentation titled “From Stitches to Strokes” she recounted her non-stop
adventures as a fiber artist in recent years, showing her audience dozens of
colorful quilts, many fabrics and templates that she has designed, and a group
of recent abstract collages. Curves abound in her work, and one of her refrains
was, “Quilts don’t have to be square.”

Louise Schubert led the mini-workshop in August, providing fabrics, beads, trims, guidance and inspiration as members created "Art Doll Pins." The resulting scores of colorful pins were as diverse as their makers.
