LACONIA — The Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild will host a live and virtual lecture on Wednesday, April 13, at 6:45 p.m. “Designing Art Quilts from Your Photographs” will be presented by New Hampshire fiber artist and art quilter Michele O’Neil Kincaid.
“I love using photos of nature and scenery to create one-of-a-kind art quilts. Come see how I begin, from inspiration to the completed piece. I will walk you through the process of using a photo, creating your design, enlarging an image, and building your art quilt. There is a short slide show and in person quilts to inspire and study,” said Kincaid.
Kincaid will lead an in-person workshop on Thursday, April 14, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., where participants will design their own poppies quilt. The workshop will include machine applique, free form machine piecing for the background, free motion machine quilting and hand beading. Participants choose the colors.
The Guild is offering the lecture and workshop to the public at the Belknap Mill. Non-guild members may register for the lecture at info@bmqg.org and indicate if attending in person or on Zoom.
