Great things are ahead for SAQA WA in 2016!
Change is all around us, with co-rep Melody McGinnis heading off to Oregon later this year. Melody will be missed, and we wish her well. Thank-you Melody for the dedication you've given to SAQA WA region!
Happily, Lisa Jenni is taking over for Melody. We'll give her some time to celebrate her successful co-chairing of CQA's upcoming Quilt Art Symposium on April 16th before settling into her role as SAQA WA co-rep. So glad she's on board!
Our big news is our upcoming, first-ever regional meeting. Please save the date: September 11, 2016 at the La Conner Civic Garden Club, across the street from the La Conner Quilt Museum. This one-day meeting will be a chance for us to build ties with each other, envision future exhibits for our region, and share examples of our work, our successes, and frustrations/questions about living as quilt artists. Our keynote speaker will be nationally-acclaimed surface design artist Jane Dunnewold. Jane will have her new book "Creative Strength Training" available for sale during lunch.
More information about this and a registration link will be out by the end of April. Members will receive this information via SAQA WA email as soon as it is available. The registration fee of $65.00 will include a box lunch of your choice from local eatery Calico Cupboard.
We also are soliciting suggestions for a panel discussion for the afternoon session. Please email me at carolyn.higgins125@gmail.com with your ideas. Up to five panelists will be awarded free admission to the meeting in exchange for their contribution to the meeting as panelists.
