Thursday, February 20 COLLEEN WISE
Colleen’s background is in engineering, and her quilts reflect that in their strong graphic quality. Creating designs and solving problems are her favorite parts of the process; cutting, sewing, and pressing are just the means to the end. Her quilts have won prizes in national and international shows. She is the author of Casting Shadows: Creating Visual Dimension in Your Quilts (C&T Publishing), and she has appeared on several episodes of Alex Anderson’s Simply Quilts. Colleen teaches, lectures and exhibits her work throughout the US.

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. |
