Chawne Kimber Presents
“When the Cotton is High: Social Justice and Textiles.”

The presenter for our Jan. meeting is Chawne Kimber. A Ph.D. in mathematics, she heads the Math Dept. at Lafayette College and has been quilting since 2005. Her quilts have won awards at QuiltCon, have been shown in the International Quilt Show in Houston five times, and have been exhibited in dozens of juried art shows, galleries, and magazines. As she tells it, “Cotton has been central in the lives of the women of my family — from picking to ginning to sewing, with quilting emerging as the main mode of self-expression available.” Some of Chawne’s quilts are what she calls “geometric romps,” while others continue that tradition of self-expression, depicting aspects of social justice in a way that has many times caused this viewer to stop in her tracks and be moved. There will be a Q&A after her presentation.

January 16, 2021 Workshop

Sam Hunter Presents
"What's Your Word"

What’s your Word of the Year?
In this workshop, we learn how to create a design around a word. We cover design choices like size, color, and lettering styles. A foundation paper-piecing demo is included for those that choose FPP as their method of construction. A discount on my book, Quilt Talk® is included (book not required for the workshop).

Materials:
The short answer is you'll need nothing beyond what's in your studio already, although, of course (!) one could shop for some new fabric, patterns, or books! I'll be making you a short video to introduce the class and talk about materials - hoping to have it for you by Dec 15.

Do you love the look of modern quilts but unsure how best to quilt all that negative space?  In this workshop, I’ll share my favorite mark-free, modern quilting motifs involving C-curves, loop de loops, zig zags, and door beads.  We’ll explore how simple changes to each of the designs will yield all new filler designs!  This is a low-stress and super fun workshop that is perfect for quilters who are new to free-motion quilting, as well as those looking to add new modern designs to their quilting repertoire.  You’ll leave with new design ideas, tips and tricks for free motion quilting success, and the confidence to add beautiful, modern quilted texture to your modern quilt tops!

Esterita Austin
" Classic Rock"

Join Esterita for a humorous look at her journey from her beginning art experiences to the present.  This power point/trunk show zips along as it illustrates how she grew the seed of a concept into bold design themes. The focus is on the power of value over color in constructing dramatic compositions.  With her generously dispensed tips you’ll be inspired to run back to your stash and fuse your own thread of an idea into a WOW composition.

Zak Foster
"Memory Quilts: How to Get Started"

Most of the memory quilts I made are made in honor of someone who has passed away, but not all of them. I’ve had memory quilt commissioned by coworkers of a retiring colleague, and parents who want their college freshman to have a quilt made out of their baby clothes. I recently made a “making memories quilt” for someone who is adopting their first child: they gave me clothing to make a quilt out of with the intention of making a welcoming gift for their new daughter.

And it’s that intention I believe that sets memory quilts apart from other other quilts. All quilts can provide warmth and comfort, but memory quilts provide a kind of spiritual solace in addition to that. They help us preserve the stories and presence of loved ones.
