July 2010

Speaker: Pam Bono
Pam Bono lives in beautiful Pagosa Springs, Colorado with her husband and partner, Robert. Pam began her career as a craft and quilt designer in 1978, opening her own business called "Flying Fingers." The kits and patterns produced by her company were in every major chain store in the U.S.A. In 1985, Pam and her husband moved to Colorado where they opened their new business Pam Bono Designs. Pam had gained popularity as a quilt designer with her applique designs. In 1994 the company's first book was published by Oxmoor House/Leisure Arts. The quilts in the first book were entirely pieced, and it opened up an entire new world for the Bono's, as Pam's husband Robert designed the cover quilt with his wife. Because of the books success, a second book followed. Both books have recently been combined by Oxmoor House. The 50-project book is titled "The Big Book Of Rotary Cutter Quilts." As the Bono's "quick piecing" techniques developed, Robert invented a tool called "The Angler". It eliminates the need to draw or press diagonal seam guidelines, and is used by millions of quilters internationally.
