Monthly Meeting: Trunk Show – “Your Stash: A Valuable Investment….” with Sandra Sandvik!

“In her book, American Cotton: Farm to Quilt, Teresa Duryea Wong shares that the average dedicated quilter in the US has an estimated $6000 worth of fabric sitting in their stash. $6000!”

Climate change is causing lasting and devastating problems for our world right now. Join Mayne Island, BC, quilter Sandra Sandvik for a look into how she uses her valuable stash to continue creating and bring some sustainability practise to her studio.

Sandra’s trunk show will include her innovative up-cycled quilts and textiles along with the thoughtful process of de-stashing and reusing fabrics to ensure nothing goes to waste.

Sandra has been a textile artist for over 30 years. She is a graduate of the Capilano University Textile Arts program and has studied under numerous instructors both weavers and textile artists, in the US, Norway and Canada. Sandra currently works from her home studio on Mayne Island, BC. Her love of textiles has focused on quilting, mix media, art quilts, repurposing textiles and weaving. During the past few years, Sandra has shown her quilts and textile art pieces in a number of local exhibitions and Curated Quilt Journal. In recent years she has had quilts accepted into the Canadian Quilters’ Association’s National Juried Show.

We meet in the Cordova Bay 55+ Associations room, located within Cordova Bay Elementary school, at 5238 Cordova Bay Rd. The entrance is to the left of the main school doors. Please park in the lot in front of the school.
