Quilt Day at the Windham Textile & History Museum
June 11, 2016
The Windham Textile & History Museum will be host to a textile festival in June and the first of three days is Quilt Day. On June 11, 2016 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm there will be demos, lectures, a vendor mall and art displays. Artwork will be on display by Melanie Johnston, Joan Blade Johnson, Catherine Whall Smith and Barbara Barber.
Melanie Johnston
Melanie is an artist working with textiles. Her subject matter ranges from the realistic to collage and abstract. She uses commercial and hand dyed cotton and silk as well as any other interesting fabric that strikes her fancy. She particularly enjoys dyeing and painting her own fabric using a variety of techniques from ice dyeing and shibori to gradation and whole cloth.

Joan Blade Johnson
Joan is a fiber artist who has long been interested in all things fiber. In the last several years, she has become fascinated by the entire creative process involved in composing fiber art pieces using non-traditional methods and materials to achieve her artistic vision, most often inspired by nature and her original nature photography.
Catherine Whall Smith
Catherine is a quilter living in Chaplin, CT. She designs her quilts through the process of discovery; discovery of the relationships of fabric, pattern, color and a limited variety of shapes. All of her art quilts are traditionally hand quilted.
