Animal Quilts Lecture
In this program you will see many fabulous quilts depicting animals, including Eagle (Scout) quilts, a gigantic multi-color elephant, Alice’s Cheshire Cat, and the Quilt of Many Cows. The lecture also explores traditional blocks about animals: farm animals, wild animals, birds, pets, etc. Why did long-ago quilters make blocks about some animals, but not others?

Collage lecture with trunk show
10-25-25 Workshop
Imagine
Collage quilting is like a combination of a jigsaw puzzle and paper dolls! Select bright, cheerful, and whimsical fabrics to create a new artistic design infused with your own personality!
Learn
Learn to create visually dynamic collages. What tools and tricks are used to properly assemble multiple layers of fabric to achieve a seamless look.
Create
There is no patchwork or sewing done until the very end when you are securing the layers. Develop your “editing” eye and there is no limit to what you can create on your own.
