LECTURES/WORKSHOPS

COLORFUL ART OF MODERN QUILTING

Ever wondered how modern quilts evolve from simple ideas and stories? I am available to guilds for an online or In-person lecture about telling stories through colorful modern quilt designs. This lecture discusses the different elements from historical modern art movement that translate into colorful and vibrant modern quilts. We’ll have a trunk show of quilt I’ve made using different modern art elements. Please contact me below for more information.

REPURPOSE, RECYCLE FABRICS TO MAKE A STATEMENT

I’ve been working with repurposed fabrics over 20 years and love to share my knowledge. I am available to guilds for an online and In-person lecture about repurposing/recycling/upcycling fabrics into quilt designs and compositions that make a statement. This lecture discusses saving and using leftover fabric cuts, clothing, vintage linens and UFOs and letting them help you create compelling quilt compositions. You’ll receive tips for working with repurposed fabrics, incorporating negative space and mixing with purchased fabrics. Please contact me below for more information.
