 About Mary Bajcz ... as stated on her web page:

 I've made quilts for about 35 years and am constantly delighted by the endless ways fabrics can be combined into a beautiful and useful quilt - art that can keep you warm.   I enjoy the serendipity in quilt making.  I start out with an idea, assemble a pile of fabrics, start cutting and sewing and watch to see if good things happen.   They usually do.  I also make smaller art quilts, reversible silk jackets, and loads of handbags.  About 12 years ago I discovered "free cut piecing", a technique that lets me "draw" with my rotary cutter.  It's my artistic voice!

I also knit,  hook rugs, and make lots of handbags.      

 I am looking forward to see what Mary has been up to since the last time she was at our guild in 2005.

January 2013: Ami Simms Lecture

On Wednesday, January 30th  Ami Simms will be hanging out with the Evening Star Quilters

Davison-Richfield Senior Center

10135 Lapeer Road, Davison, Michigan

The meeting starts at 6:30 PM, with doors opening at 6:00 PM.  Visitors/guests are welcome to attend the meeting and Ami’s lecture, called “Living With Quilts:  A Survival Guide.” A guest fee of $5 goes towards the cost of the speaker, and we look forward to having you join us!  For questions, contact Caron Mosey, Guild President.

Living With Quilts: A Survival Guide:

Learn creative coping strategies for quilters, but not necessarily for their families. Topics include how to pad your house (quilt display and storage), appropriate more studio space (why stop with the spare bedroom?), eliminate pesky distractions (cooking and cleaning), increase storage capacity (batting goes in the oven), and the best way to deal with the guilt of UFOs (ignore it)!

For more information on Ami Simms, you can visit her website at http://amisimms.com, her blog at http://amisimms.wordpress.com/ and the website for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative
