July 2009

• Speaker: Jackie Clark For Jackie a day without sewing is like a day without sunshine. Jackie was raised in rural Wichita, Kansas and learned to sew and stitch as a young girl around 12 years of age. Currently her most fulfilling business endeavor has been designing her own patterns, books and fabric line. Jackie has been able to do all these things, through prayer, the support of creative people around her and God. She says, "It’s truly a gift from God that I’m able to inspire women around the world to be creative and keep sewing alive."
• Lecture: TO BE ANNOUNCED

August 2009

• Speaker: Ruth Powers took up quilting in 1989 because she wanted a wall hanging for her new home. Not only was she hooked on quilting, her designs have been winning awards from the start - beginning with the 1990 Great American Quilt Festival in New York City. Established in 1994, Ruth's pattern design business INNOVATIONS strives to fill the need for do-able patterns with artistic style. Ruth's prize-winning designs focus on using traditional blocks in new ways - with unique settings, plenty of color and inspiration from nature.
• Lecture: Creativity -- Where Do The Ideas Come From? Ruth explores sources of design ideas in general and includes an extensive trunk show of her quilts and the specific inspiration for each of them.
• Workshop:

  Introduction to Picture Piecing -- If you have always wanted to try picture piecing but didn’t know where to start, this workshop will introduce you to the process in a fun and easy way using freezer paper templates for the Coneflower pattern.

September 2009

• Speaker: Laura Wasilowski is, according to her blog, a quilt artist, instructor, lecturer, and author of fun, fast, fearless fusing books. She also serves as Dean of Corrections at The Chicago School of Fusing where she teaches classes on fusing etiquette and deportment.
• Lecture: Collage-syle Fused Applique
• Workshop:

Object Lesson -- To truly make your own art quilts, begin by designing your own fabric. In this class you will make swatches of colorful fused fabrics like florals, checks, stripes, and dots. Using those fused fabric swatches, you can then create an art quilt illustrating a familiar object. It can be an object of personal meaning such as a teapot, chair, or birdhouse or possibly an abstract collage full of texture and pattern. Either way, it is an original quilt made with original fabric designs. (No sewing machine is needed.) $20 Kit Fee.
