The Hudson Library and Historical Society will celebrate quilting March 27. Festivities begin in the Rotunda 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with music, demonstrations and displays by award-winning quilters.
The featured speaker is fabric artist Rebecca Cross at 2 p.m. in the Flood Meeting Room. Cross will speak about her work in the traditional Japanese shibori process. It is done primarily in silk coupled with nuno-felting.
Cross received her master's degree in crafts from Kent State University, where she teaches surface design. Recently, she was a visiting fellow teaching composition and art criticism at Case Western Reserve University and an artist in residence at the Hungarian Multicultural Center in Budapest, Hungary. She will show some of her work at the Artist As Quiltmaker XIV at Firelands Association for the Visual Arts in Oberlin this spring.
The morning activities will feature Hammered dulcimer music by Alan Tramposch of Concord and area quilters, including Judy Boyle, a seven-ribbon winner at the 2009 Streetsboro Quilt Guild Show who has been quilting for 55 years.
She will be joined by Vivian Copley, who has worked with appliqué.
They will give away copies of the National Quilting Day's instructions for the "Tie One On" quilt.
Those who participate in this national project are urged to donate the 60-by-60-inch quilt to a VA hospital, family of a serviceman or woman or to someone serving overseas in the military.
Julie Klopner-Having also will be featured at the event. She recently won Best in Show, Judges Choice and Best Hand Quilting at the 2009 Streetsboro Quilt Show. She will bring appliqué materials for demonstrations and instruction and will display her award winning "Bug Quilt."
Wendy Lewis, a non-traditional quilter, will display her exotic and beautiful landscape quilts. She has "a life long obsession with fabric combined with art" and is a designer, vendor and teacher.
Marcy Moisoi, owner of Katie Brooke Quilt Shop in Kent, will demonstrate hand quilting. She has been quilting for 25 years and teaches quilting at the shop.
All ages are welcome and no registration is necessary.
