July Guild Meeting Recording

We were very excited to welcome David Owen Hastings to our July meeting. He is the previous president and an active member of our wonderful neighboring Seattle MQG, as well as a graphic designer and a prolific artist, working not just in textiles, but also on paper, canvas, and wood. From fine art exhibitions in galleries to his modern quilting practice inspired by architecture, travel, and photography, his artwork has an energy and vibrancy that instantly draws you in. In addition to creating art and working in graphic design, David stays busy teaching virtually and in person. David presented us with a wonderful lecture on history, inspiration, and exercises to try at home for your own quilt practice. He was a lovely speaker and we were lucky to have him present to our Guild this month. You can find the Q&A portion of his presentation in the video, posted in the Members Only section of our website. David wanted us to share the following links with our members:
