LECTURES

ADAPTING PATTERNS:
While leading creativity-in-quiltmaking workshops, I've developed a questionnaire that is a valuable tool for quiltmakers to use to analyze their pattern choices.  As you recognize which elements draw you to patterns, you’ll begin to see design options beyond those on the pattern in front of you.  Learn to manipulate key elements to create more satisfying quiltmaking experiences, find ways to have your own preferences surface in your quiltmaking and explore ways to adjust values for a more pleasing effect.  Bring 2 or 3 favorite patterns to class.
 
DISCOVERING THE KEYS TO YOUR CREATIVITY:
                                        
With over 35 years of experience under my belt as a quiltmaker, teacher, and shop owner, I've finally found my own style and creativity while still catering to the needs and interests of my students.  In this presentation, I share the results of my quest with ideas and steps you can take to access more creativity and satisfaction as a quilt maker.  Everyone is creative!
HOW I LEARNED TO COLOR:

You have a favorite color, but you can’t just make blue quilts for the rest of your life.  In this lecture, I'll will share my experiences over a long career as a quilt maker, shop owner, and teacher that have built my color confidence.  Then I'll share ideas on how you can expand your own color confidence.  It’s not just about color “theory”; it’s about getting comfortable with your choices!  After all, it’s your quilt!
STRATEGIES FOR MORE EFFICIENT PIECING:

Not enough time for your quilt making?  Then you need to rethink your approach and develop a  new view of the activities involved in making a quilt.  Minimize inner debate and uncertainty, maximize your energy, take advantage of the little opportunities – these are just some of the topics I discuss as I share the keys to my productivity!
QUILTERS JUST WANNA’ HAVE FUN!!

It’s the most popular reason for making quilts . . . . . because it’s fun!!  So why do we stash all that wonderful fabric, afraid to “ruin” it by cutting into it.  My booklet by the same name has nine simple projects designed to showcase beautiful and unique prints.  This trunk show takes a tour through the projects and shares my philosophy about using the really “great” stuff all the time!!

SCRAP STRATEGIES:
Scraps are to quilters what weeds are to gardeners.  They are always there and if we don't control them, they make us look messy and disorganized.  I have quilted for over 35 years and have strategies to share with you for controlling scraps in your sewing room by using them as creative stimulus for quilts.

WORKSHOPS
