Update of programs

I have enjoyed presenting to several wonderful quilt guilds in Missouri and Texas this year and looking forward to several more programs before the year ends.  As I just received word that one of my quilts will be on exhibit in Houston this fall I thought it might be time for a reminder of those programs that are newer on my list of offerings.  It is always my pleasure to adapt any of  the topics to fit the interests of the group/guild.

An update of the newest programs I offer:

“Hand Me Down Quilts” is a one-hour trunk show focused on my book and how we can share the stories of our quilts past and present as inspiration for future generations of quilters. My book is available for sale and a workshop on any of the quilts in the book is also offered. One of the quilts, “Roses Remembered” has been exhibited in the AQS Branson show and will be in the International Quilt Festival’s special exhibition, In the American Tradition this November.

“Languishing Linens” is a one-hour trunk show of floral quilts, appliqued, embellished using a variety of fabrics including vintage linens. Also available is a six-hour workshop using artisan dyed vintage linens or your personal linens as background for dimensional flower arrangements to finish as a small quilt.

“Through the Looking Glass” is a one-hour trunk show/lecture on history and methods of making cathedral window quilts. A six-hour workshop involves making a 24” table topper with a mock cathedral window technique.

“Mystery Quilt 2022” is a perfect workshop for guild/family, friends or a quilt retreat. Clues for fabric selection and cutting are sent ahead of workshop to facilitate a finished top at end of workshop. Overnight retreats assure a finished top.

I also love to share the artistic side of quilting through fabric dyeing and painting, surface design and other artistic quilt techniques.
