February QUARTERLY Meeting

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2010, 7:00 p.m.

Henderson Convention Center

Jennie Rayment, the Muslin Mistress (or the Calico Queen if you are British)

Lecture/Trunk Show “Totally Tucked Up” 

Jennie Rayment will be coming to us from Hampshire, England.  This skinnyish, red-haired, slightly wacky Brit is totally obsessed with 'Nipping and Tucking' - fabric manipulation and surface texture. Unique in her field, she's now internationally known for her quick, simple, innovative and original techniques with manipulated material and her hilarious lectures with real ‘Strip, Show and Tell’.

 Her work is exhibited around the world.  Most of her time is spent zapping round the world persuading people to 'Nip, Tuck, Twiddle and Fiddle' as well as manipulate and maneuver bits of fabric shapes into fascinating and innovative designs and patterns. In between she makes quilts, garments and all manner of other tucked up treasures.

 She will be presenting her favorite lecture, “Totally Tucked Up,” which will include her latest collection of nipped, tucked and twiddled quilts, garments and bags plus hilarious anecdotes.  Serge into sewing, maneuver a manipulation and tweak a little texture - it is fast, fun and frivolous!  You can get a preview of her work at jennierayment.com.

Jennie will be teaching two exciting classes during her visit.  They are both suitable for all, from beginner to experienced.  Register with the separate insert or with the registration form also available online.  If you have any questions about the classes, please contact Karen Garth at 702-860-8139 or kegarth@cox.net.

There will be munchies by Scarlett Bonnets and door prizes.
