Quilt Guild Lecture & Trunk Show
Yesterday afternoon I journeyed to Hagerstown, Maryland so that I could present my From Vintage to Contemporary lecture to the Friendship Quilters’ Guild. I was warned that the majority of the members where traditional quilters and I was there to shake them up a bit. I certainly did shake them up!
I prefer to move while I discuss how I created my Art Quilts, so while I roamed, there were several people who carried the art quilts around so the audience could get a close up look. We had a wonderful conversation about vintage hankies, trims, buttons and use in fiber arts, and questions about how I dye my trims, doliies and fabrics.
In addition to my finished art quilts, I bought along a selection of items I use when creating them: my hand-dyed linens, vintage buttons, products to transfer images, and more. There was a lot of interest in the use of photos in fiber art, and questions about the difference between Transfer Artist Paper and EQ Printables Premium Cotton Lawn Inkjet Fabric.
They were a wonderful group and it was a pleasure meeting so many welcoming quilters.
I have recently begun increasing my lecture/trunk show and custom workshop activity. Contact me...I’d love to meet with your quilt guild or art group!
