Recent Burke QU Speakers and Events

• • 1. On the 11th of July the Burke QU Hosted Kelly Walker, owner and artist at Life at the Studio in Front Royal.  Her presentation was on “Ragtime Quilting“.  Kelly was a very engaging and happy person.  Her presentation on Ragtime Quilting held the members interest from the first to last word.  All attendees found great interest and excitement for this art form.  Some members liked the concept so much that they were anxiously looking forward to trying it on their own.  Great Presentation and Thank You Kelly.  Take a look at Kelly’s Web Page HERE.  We held a Show and Tell opportunity after the presentation which was enjoyed by all including Kelly.
    2. The BQU Spring Social was held on 13 June.  By all accounts, lots of fun was had by everyone and the food was excellent.  There was many show and tell projects presented during the event that provided wonderful inspiration.
    3. The Burke QU recently hosted Barbara Wise.  She gave us a hammer filled enlightening presentation on using the Natural Beauty of Plants in Fiber Art—Hammering and Dyeing.
    4. The Burke QU recently hosted Gyleen Fitzgerald.  She gave a very engaging talk on Color Blending and Pathway to Modern.  If you would like to view her Web site it can be found here  Web Page.
