Quilt Visions Newsletter SPRING 2009 Quilt Visions Launches Executive Director Fund Campaign “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” —Anatole France Q uilt Visions 2008 broke all attendance records at the Oceanside Museum of Art. Our Gallery exhibitions have introduced a new generation of art enthusiasts to the beauty of the Quilt as Art. Quilt Visions is celebrating the anniversary of two exciting years with the Visions Art Quilt Gallery, a fulfillment of the dreams of you, its supporters and founders, of a permanent home for our organization. The Gallery has become a destination for visitors from our city, our state, and the world to view great art and learn about the talented artists who create it. Quilt Visions is approaching another milestone. The continued increase in memberships,gallerysalesanddonations demonstrate your appreciation for what we have accomplished. Until now we have relied completely on our volunteer board and dedicated volunteers to run the organization, its exhibitions and programs. In order to continue to grow and maintain our professional reputation we need to hire a full-time Executive Director with experience managing a non-profit arts organization. The Executive Director Click here to donate online will provide development and fund raising expertise, assist with curatorial and exhibition planning, coordinate volunteer talent, manage marketing, public relations and retail operations, and develop partnerships with the community. This milestone of hiring an Executive Director is the driving force of our 2009-2010 fund raising campaign. Your monetary support as well as your sweat equity for the community build resulted in our beautiful Gallery. To accomplish the Executive Director milestone, we are again turning to our members as people committed to our mission to promote the quilt as art. To kick-off this fund raising campaign an enthusiastic Quilt Visions supporter has agreed to match dollar for dollar each donation up to the first $20,000. We are asking each of you to support this fund drive for the next milestone and to sustain our dreams for Quilt Visions. Our work will not be done once we meet this new goal. We will, as always, rely on the passion, enthusiasm and dedication of our volunteers to assist the Executive Director in managing our organization. In addition, we will continue to look for ways to increase our membership worldwide as well as offer new benefits of membership. Your generosity has created a successful, well respected organization. Please help us reach our next milestone and continue the Visions dream with a donation today. I look forward to seeing you in the gallery and welcome your thoughts, ideas, and support.

Educational Outreach CRITIQUE GROUP O nce again as part of the Liberty Station School, Quilt Visions will be working with the Dewey Elementary third graders on Wednesdays, May 6 through July 15 from 12:45 to 2:15. We will look at local sea birds and discuss how people affect changes in wildlife habitat and the survival of local species. The quilts that the children will make as part of the program will be displayed in the Gallery as part of the Seeing Green: Visions of a Changing Planet exhibition. Liberty Station and the NTC Foundation will be sponsoring a Summer Camp the first two weeks of August. Quilt Visions will be participating by offering a quilting activity as part of the camp activities. Other activity choices provided by Liberty Station professionals will include dance, drama, and karate. All activities will be designed for children ages 8 through 12. The camp will offer half- and full-day options. Please call Susan at 619-573-9303 for more information about enrolling your child. Quilt Visions needs volunteers to work with the children for both of these valuable programs. Your continued support and help with these programs is greatly appreciated. Last year our participation earned Quilt Visions $5,000 from the grant administered by the NTC Foundation. Not only is this grant valuable monetary support for our organization but our participation supports and sustains our goals for education and community outreach. If you enjoy working with children or enjoyed working in last year’s Liberty School program, please call the Gallery to sign up. Phyllis Newton and Janice Taylor will again be co-chairing this program. Spring Fling & Egg Hunt Q uilt Visions participated in the Liberty Station Spring Fling Easter Egg Hunt event held April 11. There were four egg hunts divided by children’s ages. There were also many activities including musical entertainment, kids’ jumper, balloon artist, face painting and photos with the Easter Bunny. Quilt Visions offered demonstrations and lessons for children to create small fused art quilts. Special thanks to Betsy Vernetti for heading the project! J The Critique Group is made up of members who meet once a month to have meaningful and thought-provoking discussions about their work, both finished and in progress. It’s an ideal way to ‘see’ your work from a distance and listen to views of like-minded Art Quilters. The Critique Group has been meeting for about a year and now has 10 members who participate each month as their schedules allow. Each person brings some work, and then we discuss all of the pieces, offering our suggestions where needed. Thus far everyone has been pleased and encouraged by the feedback. New members are always welcomed, so please think about joining us. We meet at Visions Gallery, 10 am to 12 noon on the last Friday of the month. Seen here are Ildiko Tsang and Doria Goocher getting up close with one of the quilts. SPECIAL THANK-YOU K ris Herman, Charlotte Bird, Patti Sevier and the rest of the Board would like to extend a special thank-you to all our volunteers who took advantage of the opportunity to white glove docent at the Oceanside Museum of Art during this year’s Visions show.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the work of this accomplished and prolific artist. Exhibition runs through June 7. E “I lizabeth taught a two-day class on her techniques for painting canvas and cutting and fusing it to with other fabrics to create a new composition. She also demonstrated how to use metal leaf as a design element in art quilts. (pictured at right.) Following are reviews of the class from two students. “E lizabeth was an excellent and patient teacher and I enjoyed the attitude of openness that she brought to the process. She also seemed very interested in getting to know the [students]. I highly recommend her class.” —Deborah Fitch am learning about “Art Quilting” through Karen Cunagin’s Fiber Arts Class in Fallbrook, CA. She encourages her students to continue our education through sources like Visions. So when this course with Elizabeth Busch was announced, I did the only thing I knew to do. I signed up. I was scared, excited, and full of anticipation. It was fantastic! I met a fabulous instructor with sooo much talent! She was able to put me at ease quickly and before I knew it; I was dyeing and having fun! The colors, the technique, and the results spoke to me and made me want to continue. Walking away from the first day with real pieces of art was wonderful and left me wanting more! I certainly learned a lot from Elizabeth Busch. Thank you, Visions. I look forward to more classes with the same quality of instructors in the future!” —Laura Small Above: Elizabeth Busch discussing methods and ideas behind her work.

Stitch, Dissolve, Distort with Machine Embroidery by Valerie Campbell-Harding and Maggie Grey explores techniques to dissolve, melt, and distort fabric. The text includes easy-to-follow steps, design tips, diagrams, and photos. The methods are safe and don’t require specialized equipment. The text is illustrated with samples created by the authors as well as selections from fellow textile artists. The book is divided into three themes. “Stitch” discusses stitching techniques, including free-motion machine stitching, marks, painted stitches, texture and pin tucks. “Dissolve” teaches the materials and methods for dissolving fabric, and discusses wash-away film, sticky soluble stabilizers, water-soluble paper, and combining media. “Distort” addresses materials and equipment, and how to “attack” the fabric, melt it and shape it into new forms. Mixed-Media Self-Portraits: Inspiration & Techniques by Cate Coulacos Prato, is a collection of the author’s thoughts, and stories by other artists that will inspire the reader to personal and artistic self discovery. The book first discusses the importance of the artist’s self-portrait. This resource explores creative self-portraits through fun and easy exercises and essays using different mediums, techniques and examples. And finally, it illustrates the mechanics of creation. Guest contributors include Karen Fricke, Kathie Briggs, Linda Edkins Wyatt, Kelli Perkins, Yvonne Porcella, Jane LaFazio, and Janet Ghio. Contemporary QuiltArt Association 20th Anniversary.
