During the lecture I show quilts that have been machine quilted. There are a variety of designs from traditional to art fillers. I demonstrate how I machine quilt on my home sewing machine. One of the favorite parts of the demo is how I get a large quilt under the machine and work with it.
Sometimes a quilt stumps us or we don’t have enough experience to know what a design will look like in an area of our quilts. This is a trunk show of my quilts that show the choices I made and how they do or don’t work as well as other options. I’ll go through traditional designs as well as my art quilt designs.
For the past 20 plus years I have experimented with many techniques and tools that have helped me make my quilts look the way I want them to. Some of the tools other quilters may have in their closet and they don’t know what it can be used for and some tools come from our kitchen or a number of other areas. There are a lot of fun tricks to make quilting fun and easy.
