June 12, 2024: Deborah Boschert Lecture "All about Art Quilts"
Deborah Boschert, an artist, author and teacher, will speak to us via Zoom on her process and work. She creates art quilts with layers of fabric, paint and stitching. The personal symbols and details in her work reflect her experiences and feelings about places she’s lived and the things she’s done. In her art quilts, the tiny details are as important as the over-all design. As in life, every-day little joys complement the bigger adventures.
