Elements of Design
For Quilters |
|
The fundamental design elements of Balance, Scale, Proportion
and Perspective will be presented so that even the beginning
quilter will have the necessary design fundamentals to create
your own “quilt of genius.” |
|
Jody Beck |
Jody’s Stack and
Slash |
|
For fast, fun quilts, this technique is great. Perfection is
not required when using this variation of a “Stack N Whack.”
Jody has designed many “Jody’s Jems” patterns using the “Stack
N Slash” technique. Stop in to see how quickly and easy these
blocks go together. You can easily make 60 blocks in a day!
Set together they form stars, pin wheels, or crazy quilt
designs. |

Judy Danz |
Prepare Your Quilt
For Longarm Quilting |
|
Being ready for your longarm machine quilter can mean the
difference between a beautifully quilted quilt and a quilt
that’s gone wrong. Learn how to prepare your quilt top, how
to calculate yardage and make a quilt back, and how to help
your quilter make the right quilting decisions for you! |

Gail Piggott |

Binding, Learn How to Sew on Bindings by Machine |

front or back), Gail with show you how to sew on bindings
using decorative stitching by machine. The ins and outs of
bindings including how to get perfect mitered corners will be
discussed. |

Diane Pitchford |
Do You Know What
Judges Look For? |
|
Do you know what happens during the judging of a quilt show?
Have you ever received a quilt evaluation and did not
understand the comments? Why did one quilt receive a ribbon
and another one did not? As a Candidate in the NQA Certified
Judges program, Diane will try to unlock the mystery. Please
note, specific quilts judged in this show will not be
addressed. |

Darlene Reid |
Crazy Quilts Are
The Gypsies of the Quilt World |
|
Trunk show and lecture regarding the history of crazy
quilting in the United States and the hands on enjoyment of
many pieces. |
|
Glen Taylor |
|
|
One of the top criteria for award winning quilts is “Visual
Impact.” If you are “fabric and color challenged” this is the
class for you. Glen Taylor, an art quilter and architect,
will present an overview of color theory and its impact on the
selection of fabrics to enhance quilts. By using fabric
samples and class participation, you will gain confidence to
select fabrics for your next project. |
