Welcome to the Rock Creek Art Quilters (RCAQ)! This is a brand new group formed as a focus group under the umbrella of our mother group~The Rock Creek Quilters of Fairbury, Nebraska.
This blog will be the home and sounding board of RCAQ. We will meet here, discuss projects here, discuss interesting tidbits, frustrations and victories in the world of art quilting. This may take on many forms, include different people from time to time and hopefully will be interesting to all. Since we are all so busy with life but still want to create, we will only hold physical meetings together a couple of times a year...the rest of our meetings will be virtual meetings done right here.
We will be working on several projects per year and everyone is welcome to play. I will be introducing our first project at the January Rock Creek Quilt Guild meeting so everyone will be included and can think about it. Then through the month of January will meet here on the blog to discuss the project. There will be a projected complete date~probably about three months after we begin. The completed projects will be digitally photographed and pictures posted here for all to see and enjoy. Pictures taken throughout the process of the project will be most welcome as well! The completed project will be presented to the mother guild quarterly so anyone not following along on the blog can see what we are doing~it is also fun to see the actual projects in person.
This is to be a fun group to belong to...no stress beyond the quarterly completion date. If you find that you just can't keep up right now or lose interest or want to join in at a later date...all is good...this is just for fun and the pure joy of creating.
Once we are up and running I would like input as to what projects the group might like to do...this could include anything you want...fabric dying, crazy quilting, stitch painting, embellishments, group projects, individual projects, themed projects, whatever!
In the mean time, keep creating! And see you at guild January 18.
