March 2017 bafa meeting

Beaumont Area Fiber Artists has a new logo thanks to the talent of member, Jeanelle McCall (fig. 1).  Sylvia volunteered to set up our members-only group page on FB so members work will be posted there as opposed to here in future.  In the meantime, members showed journal page collage work (fig. 2-8); quilt exercise work (fig. 9-10) classwork (fig. 11-13); other work-in-progress (fig. 14-15), finished work (fig. 16), and Sylvia and Sherry's baggie challenge results from another group (fig. 17-18).  Our members brought baggies of "stuff" to exchange so we will have our group's baggie challenge results next month.  Anyone who has done a baggie challenge before knows that they are fairly fast improvisational compositions.  Kathy missed the meeting but sent a photo of her landscape with painted batting for sky (fig. 19).
