See below for Jean's biography.
"Art has been an integral part of my life since I was a child. I remember always being intrigued and absorbed with making things. My mother encouraged my exploration of all things creative and my life-long creative journey took off including painting, sewing, photography, ceramics, embroidery, gardening just to name a few.
My essence is defined by boundless style, unbridled passion, and inexhaustible energy. I thrive on the thrill of discovery, the beauty in observation, and the perspectives of others. Every moment is an opportunity for me to engage with the world through artistic expression.
In my realm, there’s no notion of “doing it wrong”; creativity knows no boundaries. I resonate with Albert Einstein’s wisdom: “The easiest way to be creative is to try something different, even if doubt lingers.”
I eagerly anticipate the chance to share my unique narrative, creative endeavors, and unwavering passion with you."

September is DeStash month!
Take some time to go through your stash and pack up any sewing related items that you no longer want or need to donate to the DMQG DeStash night at the September meeting. All raised funds will benefit DMQG and be used for programs and activities in 2023-2024.
WHAT TO DO:
Box or bag up your unwanted sewing related treasures, including fabric, notions, rulers, books, patterns, etc. Scraps can be in zip-lock bags.
HOW IT WORKS:
Volunteers will take your donations and sort by category.
You will purchase a canvas tote bag for $20 at the Merchandise table before the meeting or during the break.
During the break, you will be able to “window shop”. Shopping will start after the break.
