Velda is an internationally recognized contemporary quilt artist, author and lecturer from Northern California. Known for her large scale, mostly organic designs, Velda creates original quilts of exceptional beauty and craftsmanship. For the past 18 years, her work has appeared in many national and international exhibitions and has been featured in over 30 publications, including Quilter's Newsletter and Threads magazine.

In the Saturday workshop entitled "Texture and Form," Velda will teach students how to get rid of "flat" appliqué by using machine techniques to create texture and form. Please call or e-mail Kathy (266-9048 or k.judkins@sbcglobal.net) for more info. Non-members will be allowed to sign up for the workshop at the January meeting.
