Margaret J. Miller, renowned quilt maker, author, and teacher from Bremerton, WA, will be the Colfax Arts Councils first Meet the Artist in the fourth season of this popular event. Miller will kick off the return of the Meet the Artist series, suspended for the past year during the Colfax library's renovation,Thursday, September 9 at 7:00 pm at the Colfax Library.

Over her 30-year career, Miller has developed innovative design techniques for making dynamic quilts, which she teaches internationally. She has authored several books, including Stunning AnglePlay Quilts, AnglePlay Blocks, and Easy Pieces. She will be bringing many of her quilts to show the audience.

Margaret will be in Colfax to teach two weekend workshops sponsored by The Quilted Moose of Colfax (More details and registration forms can be found at www.myquiltedmoose.com.)  Samples of quilts for both workshops are on display at The Quilted Moose.. We are so excited that Margaret agreed to come a day early to be our featured artist, said Debi Anderson, Colfax Arts Council president. It will be a rare treat to have such a well-known quilter with us.

Libraries have been so important in my life since I was a child, explained Miller. So when I heard that this would be an opportunity to help celebrate a renewed library, I was thrilled to participate.

After her presentation, Margaret will sign copies of her books. The Quilted Moose will have books available for purchase at the event.

The Meet the Artist series presents artists from diverse disciplines each month and provides an informal setting in which to view and discuss their work. The series, which is free and open to the public, is held on the first Thursday of the month and is sponsored by the Colfax Arts Council in conjunction with the Friends of the Whitman County Library.
