February 11	Colleen Wise-Quilt Artist. Her quilts have depth that goes beyond the surface. http://www.colleenwise.com/ Colleen Wise has been passionate about quilting since 1991.  She has always needed a creative outlet, and loves fiber. Although quilting is basically a two-dimensional medium, her quilts have a depth that goes beyond the surface. Elements of the designs seem to float above the surface or recede into the depths of the quilt. Colleen's goal is to encourage the viewer to look into the quilt, rather than just at it.  Beyond the illusion, her quilts have something to say. she wants her work to mean something. Colleen prefers to work by starting with a title and building the quilt around that idea. Celestial events, botanical impressions and life experiences are common themes in her work. My award-winning original designs have been exhibited at many regional, national and international shows.
March 10	Community Service / Guild Members Work Party -The meeting will be devoted to work on String Quilts.
