Presenting my Dresden Rainbow wedding quilt and its modern elements to the CAMACO Quilt Guild in May 2015.
Lectures:
Modern Quilting - What's All The Hubbub? (An Overview)
With a slideshow and trunk show of my modern/modern traditional quilts, we'll explore many elements of modern quilting (with my take on each one) and discuss ways to modernize any quilt. Plus, we'll aim to define "modern" on our own terms by the end. 1 hour including Q&A.
Trunk Show + My Quilting Journey
I started quilting and blogging in college and continued at full force throughout my twenties... and I haven't looked back for a second! I'll bring some of my first quilts and share my story of transitioning from hobby to professional. 1 hour plus Q &A.
An Intro to Improvisational Sewing
Improvisational piecing is my favorite way modernize a quilt. I'll take you through the stages of my foray into improv piecing (the initial fear, the daring, the comfort, and all the in-betweens) and share many of my improv quilts. We'll also look at improvisational quilts through a slideshow to examine different techniques. You'll walk away feeling ready to take the plunge into improv! 1 hour including Q&A.
So, You Want To Free Motion Quilt On Your Home Machine?
I'm a huge fan of free motion quilting on your own home machine. It can be done (yes, even on queen and king size quilts!) with the right tools and patience. I'll take you through my favorite tools and tricks for FMQ, and I'll share some of my favorite motifs and free motion-quilted quilts. Finally, I'll explain why quilting is my favorite part of the whole process! 1 hour including Q &A.
