Kaari Meng Zabala of French General
Lecture – All Things French General

Program

In April we welcome Kaari Meng Zabala of French General.  Kaari began her career in New York City designing jewelry, but in time her business evolved into a retail store in the Soho district selling a French-inspired lifestyle.  When she and her family moved to Los Angeles, they set up French General in an old Spanish style warehouse.

French General designs quilting fabric and patterns for Moda, which are sold in quilting shops around the world.  And to relax, French General invites women to the South of France each summer to learn to live like rural French women – visiting the flea markets, local villages, and artisans.  These summers in France serve as inspiration to continue to create the French General lifestyle.  Join us to hear Kaari tell the incredible story of French General.

The Flying Geese Quilters Guild general membership meetings, offer quilt related programs from an extraordinarily talented membership and other locally recognized fiber artists, as well as nationally and internationally recognized guest speakers. Our speakers are quilters, quilt designers, clothing designers, doll makers, and textile designers – in other words, experts who impact our love of quilting. Without fail each month our guild members present a spectacular Show and Tell and a hint of the quilt show we present every other year. Before the meeting and during break there is time to browse our extensive lending library, socialize, and enter opportunity drawings for small wall hangings and door prizes. Between meetings we offer a variety of activities, such as workshops, philanthropy sewing days, and small friendship quilt group meetings.

The Flying Geese Quilters Guild was founded in 1985 by a group of about 30 quilters.  In the past 29 years the guild has grown to approximately 300 members. The quilters guild was organized to promote and educate its members and the public in the techniques and methods of creative quilting and fiber arts, to preserve the heritage of quilt making, and to promote quilt related activities.  Regular meetings usually feature nationally known speakers. Members can also attend some speaker's workshops for a small fee.  Other benefits of membership include opportunities to join friendship groups, check books out from the Guild’s extensive library, and participate in quilt related philanthropic and community education projects. Other activities include a biennial quilt show, biennial quilt auction, and quilt retreats.
