Last month, the South African Quilters Guild had the honor of hosting Antionette Kriel, its inspiring chairperson, at a delightful local quilters’ gathering. The air buzzed with excitement as Joy Clark, a master teacher and seasoned quilter, introduced Antionette to an eager group of quilting enthusiasts, each captivated by her remarkable journey and expertise in the craft.
Antionette passionately shared her insights about what judges consider when evaluating quilts at festivals. Using one of her stunning creations—crafted by Antionette herself and beautifully quilted by Joy—as a reference, she illuminated the intricate details that can make or break a work of art in the quilting world. This particular quilt has an impressive backstory, having earned the duo a third prize at a national festival in the collaborative division last year.
The meeting also featured a fun, hands-on activity that promised to add a spark of creativity to their next gathering. This interactive session allowed the local quilters to explore their artistic potentials, fostering a sense of community and collaboration that is at the heart of quilting. The anticipation for the results of this activity has certainly heightened interest for their forthcoming meeting, where participants will share their unique creations.
