To Bead or Not to Bead - A New Class with Lisa Yoder
Monday, June 10, 2013 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
Lisa will teach you the basics of hand beading on fabric - one bead at a time. She will show samples of her hand stitched and beaded art quilts and cards, so you can see how to incorporate beads into your own fiber art.
This class is for beginners who have patience, a love of hand work and good eye sight (with or without corrective lenses!).  Class Fee which includes materials: $65
A supply list will be provided upon registration. Call the museum to register,

I enjoy looking at sites that show the work of a group of quiltmakers.  Some are groups that exhibit  together, some are challenge groups,  some are organization that cover the world.

  The latter would include Studio Art Quilt Associates  (commonly referred to as Saa-Qua),   http://www.saqa.com/  and Surface Design Assoc. http://www.surfacedesign.org/

One of the challenge groups is http://viewpoints9.blogspot.com/

Many artists posting their work on a blog:  http://theartquiltblog.blogspot.com/

Start your own list by Googling  "Art Quilt Groups", "Art Quilt Challenge" or simply "Art Quilts".
