  • Creative You
  • Mary Lou's lecture covers all kinds of ways to become more creative. Mary Lou explains avenues of creativity, the personality of the creative person and how you can stretch and become more creative with your thoughts and your quilts. Prepare to be inspired and to go away thinking of things you want to do to be a new “creative YOU.” Be sure to ask quilting friends who are not BHQG members to save the date in their calendars so they can join us that evening – guest fee is $5

  • November 10-11, 2010
  • Self Portrait with Mary Lou Weidman
  • This two day class has become very popular and in fact has taken many quilter's self portraits to Museums for shows. Step out of the box and learn about yourself and how you can put ideas and things you had not thought of before into a quilt to leave a lasting impression about who you are and what is important to you. These quilts become legacy pieces that can tell others imaginative, fun, and creative things. It might even surprise you to see how wonderful a self portrait of YOU can be.

    Check out Mary Lou's work.

    The workshop will be held at our regular meeting place, Woodbrook Baptist Church, from 10am until 4pm on the two days.
