Lecture (via Zoom ): Design Process by Tara Faughnan
Description: From the initial spark to the finished quilt. Join me for a talk all about the process of design. I’ll share ways I take an idea and develop it, and how the role of scale and color are integral to my process, what I do when things hit a wall and ways to resolve it, and how I’ve gotten out of creative ruts and most recently found the patience to see one through rather than fight it.

St. Philip Lutheran Church 7531 S. Kendall Blvd Littleton, CO 80128
Lecture (in-person): Design Process How Do I Quilt It? By Christa Watson
Description: This informative lecture is based on Christa’s book of the same name. Learn the secrets for domestic machine-quilting success which include: adequate basting, choosing the right thread colors, thinking about how to divide and conquer
each task, and learning how to create rich texture with little to no marking of the quilt.
Christa will also discuss the importance of making a quilting plan, so you can figure out the best path around the quilt with the fewest stops and starts. Once you see how easy and carefree her methods can be, you’ll feel empowered to quilt your own quilts!
10 a.m. Saturday, June 28th Hybrid Meeting via Zoom and in person at:
St. Philip Lutheran Church 7531 S. Kendall Blvd Littleton, CO 80128
Lecture (in-person): Everything but the Cotton with Julia McLeod
Description: When quilters don’t have access to a stash of quilter’s cotton, what do they turn to? In this one hour lecture, trunk show and Q & A session we will explore quilts – antique and modern – made of wool, silk, polyester and more. We’ll observe how the use of unusual materials gives rise to alternative construction techniques and
design choices.
The trunk show of Julia’s work shows what you can create with neckties, saris, kimonos and other unusual, ‘not cotton’ textiles.
