Andrea is sharing with TQS images from her exhibit at the Benton County Museum in Philomath, Oregon. She writes:
 
"I try to express the essence of a flower with fabric. The curve of a petal, the vibrancy of color and the diversity of flora to me is sexy...beautiful. For me, the creative process is a journey as essential as breathing. An expression of self."
 
Created from 2007-2017, this collection represents Andrea's journey to find her artistic voice.
 
The exhibit runs through October 14, 2017.
 

Star Members can watch Andrea and learn about her work in Show 1706: Textural Backgrounds, Appliqué on Silk & Straight-Line Quilting.

Bethanne Nemesh talks about the process for determining the winner of a Masterpiece Quilt Award. Bethanne's Quilt, October Sky, was the recipient of the award in 2015.
 
 
The NQA established the Masterpiece Quilt Program to award formal recognition to Masterpiece quilts. This important program is continuing under the leadership of the NACQJ. A Masterpiece Quilt is defined as a work which reflects a consummate level of skill in design, workmanship, and quilting.

Whatever you call it, call it a 1st Place winner. Liz Jones, of Leominster, United Kingdom, created the quilt Ground Cover, 73" x 73." It won 1st Place Wall Quilts - Stationary Machine Quilted at Spring Paducah 2017. Take a look at how she outlined the quilted areas that produced the ground cover. Fun!

Vimeo support got back to us and showed us how to have you fix the iPad problem. Go to your "Gear" for Settings.

  1. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning > Closed Captions + SDH
  2. Set it to OFF

This did not work for one of our viewers. However, she found that this worked for her:

Hi John,
Well, I kept changing settings in the Accessibility area and I found something that worked. If I turn off Auto Brightness: Settings/General/Accessibility/Display Accommodations, the video plays perfectly. The iPad Pro 10.5 and probably the new iPhones have something called True Tone displays. The Auto Brightness is ON by default and the screen adjusts automatically to the ambient light around the user. It is a very cool feature. I hope Vimeo will come up with a fix but until then I am very happy to be able to watch your shows on my iPad again!
 
 

Do either of these fixes work for you? Which one?
