NOVEMBER MEETING PHOTOS

Despite the nasty weather there was plenty of sunshine in the Library for our November meeting. Our guest was folk artist and toile painter Anna Howard of Indianapolis who displayed a selection of seasonal items. Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas creations were featured. A fine arts painter since the 1940s, Anna took up toile painting when the chemicals used in oil painting became unhealthful for her. Her exacting artisty is the result displayed here. |

Optical Delusion This quilt actually is all straight lines, but by cleverly combining both 54-40 and churn dash blocks, circles appear throughout the quilt. The design was recently featured on a Fons & Porter show. |

Refreshments went to gourmet status this month thanks to Barb and Carol who supplied a variety of tea time treats including Banbury, lemon, chocolate, and butterscotch tarts along with a selection of hot teas. Not as grand as Downton Abbey, but close for sure.
