    About Karen Bolan:

    I am a quilter in Santa Rosa, California. I am drawn to the layers of design and expression possible in quilting, and love the learning that comes from experimenting. I endeavor to find efficiencies in process and material use. My designs are out of the box, and integrate a love of geometry, experimentation, interconnection, depth, and texture. My work has been featured in magazines, and exhibited at local and international quilt shows.

    I teach and write quilting patterns with an encouraging and engineering-influenced methodological approach. My classes blend lecture, demonstration, and discussion, and include ample hands-on time for students to experience and practice new techniques with individual instruction. I always teach with a focus on fun and skill-building. I carefully and compassionately guide students beyond their comfort zones to new levels of enjoyment, creativity, and skill.

    I am guided by the assurance that making quilts you love adds value to the world. Through both the process and the product, we honor the traditions of quilting, other quilters, and humanity. I share my passion for quilting with the hope that you can experience the thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of creating warm treasures.

    Cutting Edge Explorations

    Technology's increasing influence on the world of art is widespread. It is changing how art is made and technology has been providing artists with new ways to express themselves for a very long time. My current work as a quilt artist has been affected by technology, specifically through the use of laser cutting technology. I plan to elaborate on how I use it in my fiber art maps and in my work as an architectural educator.

    This talk will focus on these questions:

    • How does technology push art?
    • How can it push work of artists who work in textiles arts?
    • How has laser cutter technology influenced my work as a fiber artist?


        


    More about Valerie S. Goodwin: Artist, Author, Architect, College Professor

    Valerie S. Goodwin is a mixed media fiber artist and architect whose works of fine art are included in museum and private collections. Most of her work is inspired by a love of aerial views of landscapes and cities. Many of her quilts are based on maps.

    Goodwin’s art has moved through various stages from traditional quilting to an interest in abstract expressionism and, currently it is inspired by real and imaginary landscapes and cities. In some cases, her work shows an architectural sense of space with an archaeological perspective. In others, the network of the city and its built form is more prominent. These compositions work on several levels, from close up and far away as if one was looking at it from above.

    She received degrees in architecture from Washington University and Yale University. Her award winning work has been widely published and exhibited. She also lectures and gives workshops nationally and internationally. For over 26 years, she taught architectural design at Florida A & M University.

    Fabulous Nickel Borders

    Turn a nice quilt into a WOW quilt by adding easy-to-piece Nickel Borders. In this lecture we focus on easy to piece borders that are made from 5" squares. I will show many of my quilts that have pieced borders and I walk you through my method of “auditioning” borders for a quilt.

    We have all been there; the inside of the quilt top is done and now what do I do for a border. This lecture will give you many ideas to choose from and allow you to awaken a whole new level of creativity. I have loved designing pieced borders over the years and adding them to my quilts. My book, Nickel Quilts & Borders contains 260 pieced border ideas and I look forward to sharing many of them with you during the lecture!

     

    Pat Speth began quilting in 1988 when she purchased a wool quilt batting from her Grandmother's auction. "I checked out a stack of quilt books from the library and fell in love with the patterns and designs, I knew I could not stop with just one quilt."

    Pat started working with 5 inch squares as a basis for her quiltmaking in 1993 after attending her first retreat. She was asked to do a program for her guild in 1997 using the 5" squares, which gave her the push to explore new uses and techniques for working with the squares. Pat, while working a full time job, started on the book, Nickel Quilts in 1998 and was able to have it ready for the publishers in June 2001.

    After juggling her full time job and her quilting for many years, Pat moved into a full time quilting career in July 2003. "I have found my passion in life, and I can't imagine doing anything else."

    Pat is currently working on her line of individual patterns, building a creative community on her Facebook Group, and presenting Zoom Lectures to quilt guilds.

    Pat lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

    Retro Curved Pieced Quilts

    Come roll back into the 1960s/1970s with me as I share my story and inspiration behind the 15 patterns inside my new book, Retro Curved Pieced Quilts. This collection of quilts has marked a monumental pivot in my career as a quilt pattern designer. I’m excited to share the stories behind how each design came to be and the laugh worthy moments behind the process.

     


    Erin Grogan, the pattern designer and founder of Love Sew Modern, was introduced to sewing by her grandmother, a professional seamstress. When Erin was a child she would fill a notebook with fashion designs with the dream of one day becoming a clothing designer. Her grandmother would come to visit for many weeks in the summer. Erin and her grandmother would go to Hancock Fabrics to get material and together they would sew her school wardrobe for the next year. These precious moments sparked her love for design.

    In 2017 Erin took her first trip to a modern quilt shop. Surrounded by all the bright and bold fabrics and modern quilts she knew in that moment she wanted to become a quilter. In January of 2020 Erin left her corporate job to focus on growing her dream, Love Sew Modern. Now four years later Erin has over 14 published patterns, published her first book (Retro Curved Pieced Quilts), and is an international quilting educator who embraces spreading the love of quilting.

    Erin resides in Northern Virginia with her husband, two children, and her puppy Tula (yes, named after the amazing fabric designer Tula Pink!)

    Captivated by Boro

    We all have stories about the time we spent sheltered-in-place. During that time, I began reading about Boro, both the aesthetic of it and the people, mostly women who so quietly and unnamed created with limited resources. I love Japanese fabrics and their hand crafted arts. After learning more and more about the history and philosophy of Boro I began saving every, tiny little scrap to use in my work…sometimes even the selvedges take on meaning and beauty. I’m happy to be sharing my love of Boro and Sashiko now by teaching a Boro and Sashiko inspired stitching class and speaking about their legacy that’s finding new life with fiber artists and stitchers today. There’s a wonder calm that’s found in the many stitches of a piece and the satisfaction of giving new life to cloth that might other wise be discarded.

    In addition to talking about the origins and necessity of Boro I cover Indigo dying, where fabric specifically cotton came from and who had access to it, Wabi Sabi: the beauty of transience and imperfection and the impact of Sashiko stitching and Boro on artists and fashion today.

    Panel Palooza

    In this informative and entertaining trunk show I'll show you how to take that panel you fell in love with and turn it into something truly unique. You'll experience my good, bad and AH HA moments as I learned how to work with the different styles of panels and how adding interesting block treatments and borders and filling those pesky open spaces with patchwork or appliqué results in a truly special quilt.

    Cyndi McChesney has been quilting for most of her life and has enjoyed a wide-ranging and fulfilling career in the quilting industry including as an author, quilt shop owner, custom quilt maker, and instructor throughout the US and Canada at national shows, guilds and quilt shops. She currently lives in New Kent, VA and is enjoying exploring the Blue Ridge mountains and beautiful beaches.

    Cyndi’s passion for quilt making is evident in comments from her students and in her never-ending quest to find new techniques and skills to share so that quilting is a fun, enjoyable life-long endeavor.

    Everything but the Cotton

    Let’s explore the world of quilts that were made with what I call ‘Not Cottons’.

    When quilters don’t have access to a stash of quilter’s cotton, what do they turn to? This one hour lecture, trunk show and Q & A session shows quilts – antique and modern – made of wool, silk, polyester and more. The trunk show of my own work shows what you can create with neckties, saris, kimonos and other unusual, ‘not cotton’ textiles.

     

    About Julia McLeod:

    Julia McLeod is a quilt maker living and working in northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area.

    She specializes in making quilts from rescued textiles, particularly silks. Neckties, saris, kimono and furnishing fabrics all find their way into her quilts.

    Born and raised in England, Julia worked as a menswear textile designer in the woolen- and worsted mills of Yorkshire and Scotland, and later for a company on Savile Row, in the heart of London’s bespoke tailoring industry.

    She moved to New York City in the early 1990’s, and America has been her home ever since.

    Julia enjoys lecturing and teaching on the subject of quilting-making with unusual and reclaimed textiles.

    Secrets from the Judge’s Chambers

    Have you ever attended a quilt show, and been mystified why one quilt won a ribbon, while an equally wonderful quilt did not? What are the qualifications for first, second, and third place? What are the special awards? What is the process of evaluating and judging quilts? These questions, and more, will be answered when I reveal the secrets from the judging room. (Actually, there are no secrets. You probably already know the answers!)

      

    I bought a sewing machine at age 15 with money from my first job, and made clothes and home decor items early on. When the quilting bug bit me later in life, it was a great reason to bring that old Singer sewing machine out of retirement.

    I am totally addicted to quilting, and enjoy associating with other quilters who are equally addicted. I’ve been quilting since 1995, teaching since 2004, and judging quilts since 2007. My specialty is precision machine piecing, and I’m always trying new techniques, gadgets and patterns.

    I have been fortunate that some of my quilts have won awards across the country, including at A Quilter’s Gathering, Home Machine Quilting Show, Images at the Lowell Quilt Festival, Indiana Heritage Quilt Show, International Quilt Festival in Houston, Machine Quilters Exposition, Machine Quilting Today Upper Midwest Show, Maine Quilts, Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival, Milwaukee Machine Quilting Show, MQX Quilt Festivals, National Quilting Association, Quilting With Machines, Quiltweek Lancaster, Quiltweek Paducah, Road to California, Southern New Hampshire Quilt Festival, Utah Quilting and Sewing Marketplace, Vermont Quilt Festival, and the World Quilt Show – New England. Several of my quilts were juried into the AQS show in Paducah in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, winning ribbons in 2015 and 2017. My FreeFall quilt was juried into the International Quilt Festival in Houston.

    As an award-winning quilter, I lecture, teach workshops, and give demonstrations at guilds, quilt shops, and quilt shows across the country. I enjoy teaching, especially to beginners.

    In 2013, I was trained by Deb Tucker to teach her techniques, patterns, and tools from Studio 180 Design.

    In 2017, I launched Kathie Beltz Quilt Designs. I have designed a line of quilt patterns for smaller projects that look complicated, but are easier to make than you might think. The patterns have easy-to-follow instructions, plus some of my patterns have the advantage of using Studio 180 Design precision tools and techniques.

    I also have extensive quilt judging experience. My judging philosophy is to acknowledge excellence in quilting, and to educate and encourage quilters of all skill levels. I like to consider my judging work as an extension of my teaching, guiding quilters to improve their skills through constructive comments.

    As a member of my local quilt guilds, I’ve held many leadership positions including Secretary, Member-at-Large, Program and Workshop Coordinator, and Block of the Month Coordinator. I’ve served on various committees and been involved in each guild’s quilt show. Luckily these shows occur in alternating years, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to keep up!

    Recently I’ve become a Member of the Board of Directors at the New England Quilt Museum. All this is keeping me really busy!

    I love quilting because it is my therapy. “Me” time in my studio is my favorite thing. But on the flip side, I also love the socialization involved in quilt guilds, quilt shows, and quilting retreats. I try to attend quilt retreats twice a year – what a joy to have uninterrupted sewing time.

    I live in Southern New Hampshire with my husband, Randy, and my English Cocker Spaniel, Jesse. Life is good in the “Live Free or Die” state!

    Playful Portraiture: making faces in fabric

    Faces are fascinating! It's amazing how varied and beautiful humans are and how the quirk of an eyebrow or the twitch of a lip can convey an entire range of emotion.

    This lecture looks at faces made of fabric from the entire range of the quilt spectrum. We will examine simple and cartoonlike funny faces, created with free cut collage appliqué as well as carefully planned and exquisite photo realistic figurative work.

    Look at faces and figures made by quilters from around the world starting with simple collage and moving towards more complex construction techniques. Lyric will show you some of the process for her own figurative work and share her sometimes up, sometimes down journey through the fascinating world of making faces in fabric.
