LMQG June 30th meeting Highlights with Diane Gloystein

 

Diane Gloystein was so much fun. She brought a large group of friends with her and shared much of her life as a wearable artist. From her years working for Sulky threads she embellished many garments and projects.  

Diane shared with us some award winning garments made from unusual textiles and techniques.  This garment felt like leather but it was a sulky product that was painted. 

Diane shared her matching shoes to some of her outfits.

 Many of her garments and unbelievable seam finishes...(they were fantastic)

From her travels around the world she brought several different fabrics that she found and will be making into something special like the cockroach fabric made into possible pants?

And of course she has also been drawn into quilt making. This was huge and beautiful on the front and a bit more modern on the back below. 

A kids quilt she made special. 

Diane was such and joy and her friends that came to see her works in person were a delight to have at our meeting. 

Show and tell from a few members: 

Megan shared her entry for the Go Geometric challenge we have going on from now till Aug meeting deadline. Her geometric shape was a circle and she has improved that into her piece. If you have not signed up for the challenge and you wish to contact the guild email or fb and we will assign you a shape.
