June 16th Guild Meeting – Vickie Owens, Guest Speaker
Advertisement
Vickie Owens will present “Laura Heine Collages."
Vickie says, "I’ve been in love with vintage textiles for as long as I can remember. Both of my grandmothers were quilters, embroiderers, lacemakers, knitters, etc. Through out the years, I explored and work, but didn’t have time for quilting until my first grandchild announced her arrival, nearly 20 years ago!
Once I began that baby quilt I couldn’t stop!
The variety of quilt design and techniques seemed endless. I favor the traditional quilts of my grandmothers, but I’ve also made more than a few modern quilts. I am a member of multiple quilt guilds and I’ve shown quilts in shows from San Antonio to Austin to Dallas and even Houston. In 2023, three of my Laura Heine collage quilts were juried into a special exhibit at the Texas State Quilt Museum. Quilting truly is an art form and I'm honored to represent the legacy of my grandmothers and the future of textile art.
On Wednesday, June, 17th Vickie will present “A Laura Heine Pattern” workshop at McKinney Fire Station #5 at 6600 Virginia Parkway.
Time: 10:00 –4:00 Workshop Fee $30.00
(Supply list provided at the May meeting after signing up.)
*If you have your own Laura Heine pattern or projects
started, your welcome to bring that to the workshop. *
