Using LOTS of quilts and a Power Point Presentation, I’ll show you the many ways you can machine quilt your completed tops. Feel free to bring tops along for a group or private consultation! Evening Lecture: Many quilters have ideas floating around in our head - quilts we would like to make. This lecture will help you to take your ideas from your head and put them on paper. Whether it's a new block design, small wallhanging, or full bed quilt, I will give you tips and tricks to creating your own designs - the do's and don'ts of designing and how to incorporate a certain fabric into your quilts. We will also discuss where to find color inspiration as well as how to break down the color and value process. I will introduce the concept of line and form in quilts. Lecture includes a show of my original designs, published and non-published - more than 50 quilts in all! Visit Michele at www.PiecefulQuilter.com
November 2010- Esterita Austin Noon Lecture: Join Esterita for a humorous look at her journey from her beginning art experiences to the present. This power point/trunk show zips along as it illustrates how she grew the seed of a concept into bold design themes. The focus is on the power of value over color in constructing dramatic compositions. With her generously dispensed tips, you’ll be inspired to run back to your stash and fuse your own thread of an idea into a WOW fabric composition. Evening Lecture: Every portal is an entrance to discovery. It is a place into which you may enter or from where you may escape. Join me while I take you on a journey through the portals and passages of Great Britain and Italy. Discover the excitement in photographing a scene from various angles and interpreting it in fabric. Visit Esterita at www.EsteritaAustin.com October 2010- Karen Kay Buckley Noon Lecture: During this lecture I will discuss if a quilt needs a border and how to select a border for your quilt. I will also explain how I design many of my borders. My hope is that this will inspire you to think about how to enhance your quilt with the right border.
Evening Lecture: Karen will take you on a journey through her growth as a quilter. You will see how the journey started with her first quilt to her most recent work.
