April 17 10-12 Meeting – In-person meeting at the Tredyffrin Library
Leslie Henry
“The Artistry and Practice of Wellness”
In this presentation, we’ll take a brief look at the history of Chinese medicine, some of the foundational philosophic frameworks used, and how it continues to retain the integrity of its traditional practice even with dissemination around the world. Much of Chinese medicine and holistic practice is grounded in keen observation and a practical understanding of balance. Not a static concept of balance, but dynamic dimensional balance that is anchored through the individual, intentionally woven into the patterns, structures, and systems of daily life, and stitched with an awareness of the broader social, cultural and ecological fabric of the world.”
Leslie has offered to demonstrate stretches/exercises that Quilters might use after long hours of sewing.

Come Hear Denise Martin’s Story of Creating a Beautiful Local Quilt Shop
Denise Martin couldn’t find the modern fabrics she liked. She also wanted a studio space where she could design and create but tall of that hat would require paying rent, so in in October 2020 she opened Seamless Sewing Arts, a highly curated collection of modern fabrics offered in a welcoming studio-like environment.
Denise takes pride in helping customers who don’t feel confident about their design or color choices. In addition to providing consulting support, she offers a wide range of in-depth courses to develop “newbies” into highly skilled quilters and sewists.
Tucked into Denise’s studio is a classroom/design area and a long arm quilter, too! And if you wonder what else makes her shop distinctive, Denise services, supplies, and teaches maintenance classes for Singer Featherweight (221) owners. If you own one of these classic straight stitchers, you know how valuable it is to have this local service. She also periodically sells these machines, so if you are interested, contact Denise to see when one may be available.
