NEXT MEETING
When: Friday, September 18, 2026 Meeting at 7pm Where: Jackson Hall Cedar Lakes Conference Center Ripley, WV Hosted by WVQI Free lecture: “Learning to Look” Sue Cortese This lecture is a start down the path of looking at quilts as artwork, whether traditional, modern or art quilts. We will explore the principals of unity, color, and figure/ground relationships. It is meant to help makers analyze their own work as well as see through a critic’s or judge’s eyes. As there is no right or wrong in art, this lecture is meant to develop an eye for "good, better and best" perspective. This is an interactive lecture and will require the audience to be participants. Sue Cortese is a quilter, fabric dyer, artist, long-arm quilter, teacher, vendor and a quilt judge. From her website, she says: I started quilting and dyeing fabric in 1995 while living in Green River, WY. My original quilting goal was to make a quilt in every style and pattern. This goal has led me to experiment with various techniques and styles over the years. On my third or fourth quilt, I started going my own way and altering designs and patterns. I wanted my quilts to be unique. Thus, I began changing the colors, dyeing my own fabric, and using different borders and settings. I enjoy traditional quilts as well as art quilts, machine quilting as well as hand quilting, bright colors as well as toned… why limit yourself! I grew up in Buffalo, New York, and attended State University of New York at Fredonia. After moving from Wyoming to West Michigan, I began working and teaching at a quilt shop. I took full advantage of nationally known teachers brought in every other month by the local quilt guild. I still live in West Michigan, where I long-arm quilt for others, teach out of my home studio, as well as judge, teach and lecture for quilt shows and guilds. My work has been recognized in local and regional quilt shows, Quilt National, Form Not Function, Excellence in Fiber & Quilts, AQS Shows, Quilter's Newsletter Magazine, and Muskegon Museum of Art. I am currently a Regional Rep for SAQA and am a current member (past board member) of the National Association of Certified Quilt Judges.
