GRASG - Calendar ~ Monthly Programs
APRIL: Did you purchase a wonderful Serger only to find yourself using it in places no one ever sees? Have you wanted to try something new? Do you know what your serger can do? For that matter, what serger should you buy? Come to our April meeting to hear Doris Bantjes who has taught many classes in the West Michigan area and is an expert on all you can produce using your serger. She will show you how to go beyond the basics......way beyond! Don't miss our April 8 program!
MAY: Our May program will feature Debra Beadles Youngs, founder of Art U Wear. Debra is a quilt and clothing designer who teaches and lectures across the country and whose work has been published in Wearable Art 1900-2000. In conjunction with a special event for May our meeting will be held at Church of the Servant, 3835 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, Mi [see map for directions, located elsewhere in this newsletter]. Debra will present "Five Easy Pieces", a fashion show featuring her quilted jacket patterns for which she is well known. and varieties of buttons she creates. If you aren't signed up for the two day workshop you can still join us for a potluck dinner beginning at 5:30 pm and the fashion show to follow at 7pm.
JUNE: Finally! A program we've all been waiting for, a program cancelled twice before! Judy Joseph will present an informative and intriguing program on the many sewing feet available to us and ways to use them creatively in garment applications. If you have seen Judy's work you know how imaginative she is and how skillfully she includes decorative work in her clothing. If you haven't seen her work previously, now's your chance. Join us on June 10 for "Using Your Sewing Feet"
