As the class progresses\, you’ll discover numerous ways to adapt and expand upon the techniques introduced — opening the door to a series or collection of personal stitched maps. \nBy the end of the workshop\, you’ll have gained the inspiration and skills to continue exploring this expressive art form. \nClick here to sign up for this workshop!

Whether you go for modern minimalism\, high-contrast drama\, or delicate quilting details\, we can’t wait to see your interpretation!  Attendees in person and on Zoom will have an opportunity to share their quilts.  If you would like to have your mini quilt featured at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival in the KCMQG Negative Space exhibit\, you can leave your mini with Kelly Hubka after the meeting.  There will be additional opportunities to deliver your quilt for inclusion in our KCRQF exhibit\, so stay tuned for those details. \nMark your calendars\, get inspired\, and join us for an evening of creativity and conversation.

Until now\, the process of printing on fabric with dyes seemed difficult to\nlearn and even harder to implement and required lots of “stuff.” But that is not the case anymore. You don’t have to be an “ARTIST” to be successful. This is all about\nplay and experimenting\, the process of letting go. Gel printing is fun and a bit\naddicting!! You will create an astonishing array of designs\, simply and safely\, using\ntextile paints and a variety of techniques. \nGel printing on fabric uses a gelatin plate to press an image onto fabric. We will begin\nwith paper and then move to fabric. So you will be able to create your own unique\nfabric art and more.

As a formally trained sculptor and self-taught sewist\, she found that designing fabrics and creating art with fabric and thread were natural steps in her evolution as an artist. Her program will take us all on her journey as we learn about “How Sewing Changed My Life”. She’ll share lots of photos and will be bringing lots of her projects for us to enjoy. \nMinki discovered sewing as a creative outlet when her children were small. She wanted to capture the beauty of ordinary moments\, first with hand embroidery and later recreating them with her sewing machine and fabric—literally drawing with thread. Capturing ordinary moments in beautiful sewing illustrations to make keepsake snapshots of daily life has become her signature style. \nThe author of Sew Illustrated\, Diary in Stitches\, Zakka from the Heart and Zakka Wool Applique (all by C&T Publishing)\, Minki has also designed several fabric collections for Riley Blake Designs. \nCheck out her Instagram @zeriano and her website Sewing Illustration \nTwo of her books\, Zakka from the Heart and Zakka Wool Applique\, are available in our library if you’d like to check out a bit more inspiration! \nKelly Lautenbach – VP of Programming URL:https://kcmqg.com/event/april-2024-meeting-minki-kim/ LOCATION:Merriam Community Center\, 6040 Slater St\, Merriam\, KS\, 66202\, United States CATEGORIES:Monthly Meetings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kcmqg.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/headshot_MinkiKim_9X9-2.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240406T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240406T130000 DTSTAMP:20260502T063212 CREATED:20240327T125739Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240327T125739Z UID:13390-1712394000-1712408400@kcmqg.com SUMMARY:Special Board Meeting - Budget DESCRIPTION:Special Board Meeting \nWe are having an additional in-person only Board Meeting in April to start discussing long term budget concerns.

This lecture is the result of a lifelong love of a specific subject matter\, a desire to explore creative possibilities\, and many changes in her life and the world over the past few years. Drawing from personal interests\, a small book by an artist of the 50’s\, and her process of planning and creating a series of works\, she will give both practical and unusual inspiration to help us all move forward with our own creative lives. \nA little bit about Merrie. She began sewing in 8th grade and primarily made clothing for years. She caught the quilting bug at age 22 and began with traditional quilts and hand quilting. Her creative journey would take her into utility quilts\, modern quilts\, collage\, and original designs. After 20 moves\, she landed in Kansas City\, MO\, and credits the KCMQG with much of her growth and creativity as a Quilter. She now splits time between Missouri & her home state of Montana. Merrie teaches at shops\, guilds\, and retreats all over the nation\, loves the color brown\, and never gets tired of buying fabric at any shop she can find while traveling! \nCannot wait to see what Merrie will inspire us to do in 2024! \nKelly Lautenbach\, VP of Programming URL:https://kcmqg.com/event/march-2024-meeting-merrie-ford-series-work/ LOCATION:Merriam Community Center\, 6040 Slater St\, Merriam\, KS\, 66202\, United States CATEGORIES:Monthly Meetings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kcmqg.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Merrie-e1708047427963.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
