Bee Artful 2026 Plans

We are a group of art quilters who enjoy learning new techniques from each other.

All meetings are at Cornelia VFW building unless noted and start at 10:00

Details for each month will be available here as the year progresses

May 12 Trapunto

We have another month to inspire and learn from each other. Take your Show and Tell projects, including the weaving project you started at the retreat. We will admire finished projects and can suggest next steps if you’re stuck. I will help get you started if you missed the retreat and want to start a new woven piece. Take your own projects if you’d like.

I will lead a short demonstration on Trapunto and have samples to show the steps. It’s fun!

Please email either Kathy Ingmundson ingmundson@hotmail.com or Melinda Oliver mandmoliver@gmail.com with a photo you would like to recreate in fabric before the May meeting. They will convert it into greyscale and send the files to you so you can choose your fabrics before the June meeting when we will construct our photo renderings. We’ll discuss this in May, too.

Please call Janice Chiaffredo at 831-801-3365 or email her at jchiaffredo@gmail.com if you want to submit quilts for the Piedmont show in September.

As always take or buy your lunch. Bev Mannes beverlymannes@gmail.com or 706-490-1708
