LECTURES
QUILT
HERSTORY:
A fast paced , “quilt-in-time” talk on the history of American
quilt making and how I
came to be a quilter. Lots and lots of quilts to show as examples
to keep it lively!
COLOUR
SELECTION FOR YOUR QUILTS: How to pick the right fabrics for your quilts easily using some of my
best simple
and foolproof "recipes". Lots of examples of quilts showing the
theories at work.
SPICE
UP YOUR BORDERS!: Many
good quilts are let down by bad borders and bindings. In this talk I share
some of my favourite border ideas and bring along lots of quilts to show
as examples.
QUILTS
FOR SPECIAL BABIES & KIDS:
Each year I design
several quick and easy quilt patterns for my local quilt group,
Thameside Quilters,
to make quilts for premature babies in the intensive care unit of
our local hospital, and bigger "cuddle" sized quilts for
chronically ill children in our area. This talk includes
the "Blue Peter" style demonstrations on how we made "Itsy-Bits
& Wonky Strips" , "Cut, Paste, & Quilt"
, "Flippin' Easy" , and many other quick quilts during
our annual Quiltathons. Great for groups involved in making Project Linus
Quilts, or anyone wanting ideas for making quick and easy scrap box
quilts.
QUILTING
QUIZ NIGHT: We
provide everything and run a fun "all about quilting" team quiz
night for your group, including prizes for the winning teams, losing
teams, and more! The fee for all this is only £ 150 plus mileage.
