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.”
