October Meeting Recap

Autumn has officially arrived in Tulsa...and some days the weather is actually feeling like it.  I find the colors and textures of Autumn to be so invigorating and full of creative inspiration.  It is fitting that the theme of our October meeting is "Inspiration".

Our guest speaker was Matt Moffett, Executive Director of the Tulsa Girls' Art School, and fine artist. He shared his take on "inspiration."  It was a great presentation with many examples of his paintings and two quilts he made.

STAND in awe of the vintage highlight section with quilts passed down over the generations!
