August 20 Zoom Meeting
Finding Myself Floating in Color Soup with Michelle Jackson
Art in one form or fashion has always been a part of Michelle Jackson's life. Michelle graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology and worked as a women's lingerie designer in New York City. In 2004 she started combining her new love of quilting with fashion, creating wearable art patterns.
With a love of color and obsession to be more creative, she moved quickly into art quilts. "This is where I feel at home, exaggerating color to capture moments and tell stories. The most fun part of the design process is deciding what tweak of color to use to help people see what I want them to see or feel what I want them to feel."
Michelle's quilts have won numerous awards and appear in many magazines, books, galleries, and exhibits. She also teaches and lectures on the use of color and light. Michelle is a member of SAQA and the Modern Quilt Guild.

At the January 2020 meeting, president Jacquie May recognized Susan Lombard as the ESQ Member of the Year for all her work and contributions to the guild.
As co-chair of the hospitality committee, Susan encourages members to sign up to provide snacks for our monthly meetings - and sends out reminders to them, arrives at every meeting early enough to make coffee, and has instituted a new program of reusable plates to cut down on our garbage "footprint." As co-chair of the outreach committee, Susan has spent many, many hours putting together kits of donated fabric (some from her own stash) and a suggested pattern for members to take home and piece, quilt, or bind. In addition, she organizes and attends Stay & Sew sessions after our meetings. Susan is always enthusiastic and willing to help. She is a great asset to the guild. |
