  to you by Everlet. Textile artist Jacqueline Hughes is scheduled to present
• 0:21
  her work at the Covered Bridge Quilters Guild’s monthly meeting at 6:30
• 0:26
  p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at New Hope Church of the Nazarene, 30
• 0:30
  N. Sixth St, Princeton, according to the guild.

  Hughes, who shows her designs at the annual Artisan Market at Hornbaker
• 0:38
  Gardens in Princeton, will share many of her designs, the ideas behind
• 0:42
  them and how she makes them, the guild said.
• 0:45
  Art ran in her family. Her grandmother quilted, and her mother painted
• 0:49
  and sculpted. As a child, Hughes had a supply of scraps, lace,
• 0:53
  trims and ribbons, and encouragement to create with them.
• 0:56
  She later studied fashion design and construction. Over time, the idea of
• 1:01
  painting with fabric grew into the art she makes today.
• 1:04
  For years, Hughes shared her work only with family and friends. That
• 1:09
  changed in 2018, when her local art guild asked her to lecture,
• 1:13
  and she began sharing her work professionally.
• 1:16
  Guests pay $5 to attend. Anyone who joins the guild that night
• 1:21
  can apply the fee to the $24 annual membership.
• 1:24
  The guild also plans an open sew day at the church starting
• 1:28
  at 10 a.m. Thursday. Participants can bring projects, sewing machines, hand work
• 1:33
  or anything else they want to work on.
