Lecture: The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum will present a trunk show featuring 1930s quilts.
Insight into the revival of quilt making during tough times. Women bought inexpensive, cheerful prints, and they saved, traded, and used every scrap. Rural women used feed sacks that were printed with pretty designs which were company marketing tools. Learn about fabrics and prints and how to recognize a 1930's quilt. Get up close and personal with 30 quilts from the museum’s
Education Collection.

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.
10 a.m. Saturday, May Hybrid Meeting via Zoom and in person at:
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!
