Members’ Meeting Presentation
Please join us September 12, 2026, for an opportunity to learn from our guest speaker, Larry Clifford, who will share his knowledge about making quilt designs from books. Have you ever wondered what to do with the hardcover books that collect dust in your family’s basement or attic? You don’t want them to end up in the landfill. Larry gives new life to old books by repurposing the covers, pages, and spines for the BiblioQuilts he creates: unique works of art based on traditional quilt designs. You can find out more about Larry and his work at https://www.flyleafgallery.com/.
