Mel Beach November Presenter
Mel Beach is a San Jose, CA based quilt artist, teacher and lecturer, who breaks away from tradition by adding her own modern, beautifully textured and colorful twists. She loves stretching her creativity through her completion of 80+ quilt challenges at the local and international level. Her quilts draw upon her inquisitive nature of asking "What If?", “Why Not?”, working in a series, comedy improv studies, along with her love of nature, photography and sketching.
She will be presenting her: Dancing with Threads. All about free motion quilting and her gorgeous quilts.
This will be a Zoom presentation only so please look for the Zoom link sent to you soon.
Thanks Martha for bringing us this wonderful Quilt Artist.
