Welcome to Quintessential Quilters!

PROGRAMS

Thursday, January 9, 2024 – 7 PM

We welcome modern quilt artist Carolina Oneto, based in Brazil, presenter for our January Zoom. Carolina’s program is titled “Limits and Creativity”.  From her website:  Limits and Creativity “can be counterintuitive but limits are essentials to create, they allow us to create connections, to avoid choose paralysis and to get a deep understanding of our medium. In this lecture we will talk about what kind of limits we can use to empower our creative process.” Carolina’s quilts have been exhibited around the world, including Quilt Week (Paducah, Lancaster, Des Moines, Daytona Beach, Grand Rapids, Virginia Beach), Quiltcon, Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, European Carrefour do Patchwork, Fiberart International, Festival do Patchwork Gramado and Floripa Quilt Festival (both in Brazil). Additionally, her work has been featured at art centers and galleries in Europe, USA and Chile. To view Carolina’s work, blog, and classes, visit carolinaoneto.com.

When in person, we meet at:

Covenant Baptist Church
5100 Dierker Road
Columbus 43220

However, January’s meeting is on Zoom.  Your Zoom link will be sent prior to the meeting.
