“Bargello Table Runner ”

Bargello is a traditional needlework pattern which uses long vertical stitches to create an intricate mathematical pattern.  The table runner, which finishes 19.5” x 49”,  uses 10 different fabrics, and you will be piecing strip sets from these fabrics prior to class. 

If you want individual assistance with fabric selection, please contact me prior to class. Also, if you wish to work on a different bargello pattern, I would be happy to accommodate you.

***Caution: cutting strips and constructing strip sets takes substantial time and needs to be done prior to class!  If you are new to strip piecing you can find an additional document on the guild website with detailed instructions.

See Supply List here for detailed instructions.

Maria Rogers-Naito
"Quilts, Indigo Dying and Weaving  in Japan" 

Originally from England, Maria has lived over 25 years in Japan. After graduating college she travelled around the world for about 4 years.  She has always loved textiles and collected pieces from various places during her travels.
      While in Japan in the early 90s, she met her husband. During the years since, while raising her family while living in Japan she went most years to the large Tokyo International Quilt Show, as well as to smaller shows.  She loves to visit local flea markets regularly, buying Kimonos, Yukatas and indigo fabric scraps.
      Her presentation will provide a little glimpse on everyday life in Japan, wonderful close-up photos of the amazing Japanese quilts from the various Tokyo Quilt Shows she has seen over the years. This year (2023) she was very lucky to participate in a weekend indigo dyeing and shibori workshop with a master in Mashiko.  She will show photos of the workshop and will describe her visits to various cotton and silk weavers, as well as an indigo museum in Tokushima where she learnt about the lengthy process to grow, harvest and produce indigo.
      Maria will highlight the history of how Japanese textile art and culture developed over the last century and share the types of fabrics Japanese quilters often use. You will see these used in the Japanese quilts in detailed close up photos.
    She will answer questions you may have if you are considering visiting this amazing country and the Tokyo International Quilt Festival.

"Pet Portraits "

For this workshop I would provide a choice of patterns for students to work with a cat and a dog. This would give students an opportunity to learn the fabric collage technique, work it out on a small project before embarking on their own portrait of their own pet at a later date. Part of this workshop I will give instructions on how to make the enlargement and pattern of their pet. If students have access to a scanner/printer they could do this during the class.

Sewing machines not required.

Teresa Duryea Wong
"Sewing & Survival- Native American Quilts 1880-2022"

Indigenous Americans have been sewing, weaving, making pottery and other crafts for thousands of years.

This lecture covers a tumultuous period in Native American culture beginning in 1880, when Native lands were taken away, buffalo herds were decimated, forced relocations were happening all over North American, and children were forced into off-reservation boarding schools.

Indigenous North Americans spent the 1880s and the next few decades learning to survive. During this time, a fascinating shift took place as some makers turned their needle skills to quilting and this lecture will explain how, remarkably, in spite of this historic chaos, that transformation happened. While quilting skills were forced on some women, others came to quilting willingly.

Learn the significance of the eight-pointed Star quilt and why quilts are the cornerstone of Indigenous give-away traditions.

Meet some of today’s makers who make stunning art quilts and powerful story quilts.

Carly Jakins, Filmmaker
"A Screening of American Seams "
Q & A to Follow

American Seams captures the stories of three quilters. These women carry a matriarchal
responsibility as keepers of people, land, and culture. They developed their art through the
metamorphosis of motherhood and domestic responsibilities, and use quilting to support their
survival.

With this film, I wanted to simulate the richness of experiencing a quilt - noting the meticulous
process, materials, and methods, while hearing the stories that the quilt itself may hold. As
each woman has a different approach to quilting, each vignette has its own style as well. The
importance of interior and exterior places, the motif of hands, and the de nu meau of the quilt
portraits creates a visual quilt of what it means to me to be a woman in the contemporary
American West.

Jenny Bowker
"Working in Another Culture"

Jenny Bowker married a diplomat and took up quilting. While following him, they lived a total of fifteen years in Arab and Islamic countries. This might seem irrelevant to quilting, but it influenced her subject matter and much of her work reflects her love of the Middle East. As they moved to different countries
her quilts record the amazing places she loved and people she met - with their stories and culture.
