will see the entire exhibit. (When the travels, it goes out in smaller groups)
seeing Quilt National at the Dairy Barn is a treat. The lighting and sight
lines set off every quilt to its best advantage. The bus will also stop at the
Riffe Gallery in Downtown Columbus for a look at “Interwoven: The Many Voices of Fiber” which will
include a wide, thought-provoking mix of fiber art. We will also stop at Quilt
Beginnings, a very nice shop in the Columbus area.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2eopY9cyrefJoFHRZkr-z9GBs_dTCK6Jc3-pQdAuy3snuAB6-HEV6DvmbsmzoMtAbQ0bY2vRMDWXr1oCqj7py2JR7grsGbQHVcuvpg9vKOiMqKLnBD-rTa8bT6XrLS95Rw6_lp4gjy4Rw5s96EoRezt2Mlrtwh4NUdvts0XY-9RajQzi2KMGX8kNT/s1800/BeckysGoodies72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1305" data-original-width="1800" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2eopY9cyrefJoFHRZkr-z9GBs_dTCK6Jc3-pQdAuy3snuAB6-HEV6DvmbsmzoMtAbQ0bY2vRMDWXr1oCqj7py2JR7grsGbQHVcuvpg9vKOiMqKLnBD-rTa8bT6XrLS95Rw6_lp4gjy4Rw5s96EoRezt2Mlrtwh4NUdvts0XY-9RajQzi2KMGX8kNT/s320/BeckysGoodies72.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">There are shopping opportunities just steps from the

It’s the Mini Bazaar!
Students and teachers rent tables and sell hand dyed fabrics, jewelry and more.
Then we have an ice cream social. It’s a great time to visit and to discover
what you SHOULD have bought.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">But let’s not forget about the teachers and their
classes. On Monday and Saturday evenings, each member of the faculty for that
Session gives a short presentation about their work, so we all learn more about
them. QSDS has an open classroom policy. So long as a group discussion is not
going on, students are welcome to wander around and see what’s going on in the
other classes.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ_3u3MtpcXh286rlHV8LVU4KSiaTcsAHUKWgOOlB-KQ1dE44PmfPr15YIXO05P-UrVraRdipc5Yjg9dB0NZR_t6oCfhTkaY4V-hcdKHlqc_gOXUIAp0EMfONiqY2O4PCYBqIq8cZeNVknK1xS68d-AaLKIjtYjVRuXSidYzxr02xazOc2uU8a4QDk/s1800/MalinOranges72%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1408" data-original-width="1800" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ_3u3MtpcXh286rlHV8LVU4KSiaTcsAHUKWgOOlB-KQ1dE44PmfPr15YIXO05P-UrVraRdipc5Yjg9dB0NZR_t6oCfhTkaY4V-hcdKHlqc_gOXUIAp0EMfONiqY2O4PCYBqIq8cZeNVknK1xS68d-AaLKIjtYjVRuXSidYzxr02xazOc2uU8a4QDk/w377-h295/MalinOranges72%20(1).jpg" width="377" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">Malin may tell you about how she was subliminally

mini-quilt auction to support the Scholarship Fund. Plans are in the works to
combine this with a Thrift Shop Prom and dance party! Wear your favorite

Is it a piece of shibori or maybe some colorful dye-painted cotton? Lisa will get you stitching and understanding how to respond to the patterning. It will be a relaxing and creative class.

In “Sheer Play: Painting, Designing and Constructing with Translucent Fabrics” Jeanette guides you through all stages, from painting various types of fabrics to trying different ways to piece or collage sheers.

Exempted people are tested weekly. Keep in mind that there will be very few CCAD students on campus while we are there. CCAD employees you might interact with would be those who work in the library, bookstore and dining hall, as well as the wonderful security guards who look after us so well. Masks are not mandated in Ohio but many of these employees choose to wear them. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Covid Testing:</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> If you wake up unwell and feel the need to get tested during your time in Columbus, the protocol is to get tested at the local CVS or Walgreens.

The 7-day classes get two tables/boards, which spaces students out even more. Those of you who have attended our symposium know that some of the classrooms are actually large spaces with very tall ceilings. The smaller classrooms have doors at both ends and also tend to have an open “spillover area” for working. Some of the surface design classes will be in a building that includes a dye lab with a built-in exhaust fan system. We will do our best to space everyone out comfortably. </span></p><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Activities</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: CCAD has a HUGE, fabulous auditorium with a very large screen and terrific sound system.

During the second week of Virtual QSDS, he will teach his five-day “Color Explorations for Fiber Artists.” So many of us found our way into quilting with no formal art background. We all love color but never had to deliberately create a split complementary combination. But it helps to know one when you see it. Kevin’s class is a chance to explore classic color relationships so that you can make more informed choices going forward. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9wJZyV1L1259Rde63CBx2jzkm3IuRQ1gZ9GhdSLFxtESqOBRPuYg-aA6qWf9UO-oxZRXKidGFPGc2BSRn9hmUXyU3QFaQWysFP_UBlxkJWdPdTiltspX2BQ9WCJUGeDRCcTGTYbQ4Xg/s800/ColorExEleanor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc9wJZyV1L1259Rde63CBx2jzkm3IuRQ1gZ9GhdSLFxtESqOBRPuYg-aA6qWf9UO-oxZRXKidGFPGc2BSRn9hmUXyU3QFaQWysFP_UBlxkJWdPdTiltspX2BQ9WCJUGeDRCcTGTYbQ4Xg/s320/ColorExEleanor.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span id="docs-internal-guid-9856cd8d-7fff-a6ae-d5c2-7aa628419bd4"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will need a traditional art-store color wheel for reference, but all the other supplies are already RIGHT THERE in your work space.

For five days, “Experimental Embroidery With Water Soluble Stabilizers,” will have you working with different types of stabilizers and threads, doing both free-motion and feed-dogs-p stitching. What happens if you add bits of fabric, trims or even paper? Since we are virtual this year, You will be in the comfort of your own sewing space on your own machine—no need to pack up all your thread! </span></span><p></p><p><span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZjbKoMnyEE2xiaa5l5VNUVIqI7p_X3GKZDqhvTBHh8tWUdK5SARPUQ8CcNjXiJ2Yg7RyutdrA6HxTuOXsDjiJZK-FkRg26zHJOSJ8j8Uw9hCtPMGWH8dtyb43lFslTTam3iz6SMQze6A/s733/McCavour4Experimental+Embr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZjbKoMnyEE2xiaa5l5VNUVIqI7p_X3GKZDqhvTBHh8tWUdK5SARPUQ8CcNjXiJ2Yg7RyutdrA6HxTuOXsDjiJZK-FkRg26zHJOSJ8j8Uw9hCtPMGWH8dtyb43lFslTTam3iz6SMQze6A/s320/McCavour4Experimental+Embr.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-de15a13c-7fff-7a01-9752-d766452dbfc7"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Only have the weekend free?

COVID - 19 Update: As we get closer to gathering for the next QSDS, I know that many of you are wondering how the ever-evolving Covid-19 situation will affect our upcoming 31st annual Quilt & Surface Design Symposium.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We have a wonderful two weeks planned! The teachers are excited and ready to share their knowledge.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
A few facts about our venue:<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br />QSDS takes place on the campus of CCAD, the Columbus College of Art & Design.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
-There are no regular summer classes in session. So, except for a skeleton staff in places like the bookstore, the dining hall and of course the campus security team, we have the campus pretty much to ourselves.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
-The CCAD campus includes a health clinic. QSDS students who have needed to use this clinic in the past because of an injury or illness can report that they were treated quickly and in an efficient and caring manner.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
-Each student has his or her own table (two in Independent Study), so we already have been practicing “social distancing” in the classrooms.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
-The dorm rooms are set up so that each resident has a separate bedroom and a shared bathroom. There are also hotel accommodations within walking distance.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
-The dining hall is very large and just like everyone else these days, the staff will continue to be very careful about cleaning and disinfecting everything. There are also other options for eating meals nearby, as well as our usual set-up with a shared fridge/freezer and microwaves on each floor of the dorm.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
-Our largest gatherings are usually in the campus auditorium. That auditorium is so large that we can all very easily sit with two seats between each person and still comfortably see and hear presentations.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
QSDS 2020 is seventy-two days away. We will continue to keep up with all the latest changes and news. But be assured that everyone will work together to make sure that we all have a safe, happy and enriching experience. We gather (carefully, and with washed hands and plenty of Purell!) to learn, create and share the joy that comes from art!</div>

who taught art to junior high kids, introducing them to the joys of art. Bob first came to<br />
QSDS while the symposium was at the Josephinum, taking a machine quilting class<br />
with Caryl Bryer Fallert.<br />

subtly change the colors moving across a surface. He taught this and a variety of</div>

Rosalie Dace is starting with two different types of inspiration for her 2019 QSDS classes.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you go on a trip or walk around your town, do you find yourself shooting photos of interesting windows and doors? Rosalie’s 5-day class “Looking In, Looking Out” will encourage you to start with windows and doors as your inspiration.</div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-3d3c5fde-7fff-edcc-9835-58f4eeb70093">You’ll find yourself thinking about the shapes and structural elements, or contemplating how things look from the inside as opposed to the outside. So many ways to interpret this...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-cebc8de1-7fff-ca46-b4bd-9e947e094800">I’ll bet you sometimes buy a piece of piece of fabric and then wait till it tells you what to do with it. In Rosalie’s weekend class, “Kuba Connections,” focuses on a traditional African cloth, but students will use it purely as design inspiration, pulling the shapes, colors and drama from this traditional fabric.</span></div>

For the weekend class, the focus will be on what can be done with paint (no time consuming washing-out of dyes!) It’s always a surprise to see what Kevin brings to be
