SUMMARY:Lecture: Sujata Shah
DESCRIPTION:The Root Connection: My Journey as a Quilter \n\n\n\nA graphic designer in her native India\, Sujata always loved color\, pattern and textures. As a young bride in the 1960s America\, her delight in these lay dormant until discovering quilting in the 1990s. She is now known for both her hand-quilted Kawandi works as well as her award-winning free form quilt designs in bright colors. Her book\, Cultural Fusion Quilts\, sets out many of her joyful patterns which reflect the influences of many cultures.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Baskets on a Crazy Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Within perfectly squared up blocks are the patches as individually shaped as they were in antique quilts. Make a crazy quilt with a fool proof method\, without using foundation fabric and minimum waste of fabrics. A beginner friendly block which can be useful for art quilters and intermediate quilters for many other applications with endless possibilities\, including as a base for improv baskets. \n\n\n\nHow can you make a crazy quilt crazier? Add a few scrappy baskets on top of it!  \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, early on the focus will be on fabric selection and design development. You will go through the exercise to find balance with textures and colors of small to large scale prints. Working with solids\, the emphasis will be on value and contrast. You will learn to make crazy patch background with freeform blocks and string pieced baskets and their handles. Not interested in baskets? Try bowls\, vases or something else. This workshop is a place to learn about scale\, contrast\, value\, and selecting just the right fabric to brighten up the space. \n\n\n\nTechnique – Machine Pieced\, Improv Piecing \n\n\n\nSkill Level – Experienced Beginner \n\n\n\n\n\nSupply List \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$25 Members / $35 Non-members \n\n\n\nTo sign up\, contact Lisa Johnson at lisajohnson@gt.rr.com

SUMMARY:Lecture: Candace Hassen
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX\, United States \n\n\n\n\n\nBy Candace Hassen: \n\n\n\n\n\nI have been fascinated by yarn and fabric since I was 6 years old. As I was growing up\, I tried every kind of needlework I could get my hands on. It was natural that I ended up in the textile department in college. For decades\, I wove room sized rugs for Lyn Sterling Montagne\, who made custom rugs for interior designers. During this time I wove scarves\, blankets and tableware on my own time. 25 years ago I took up quilting\, and immediately fell in love. I have since realized how much being a weaver for decades has had an effect on my quilting. Both weaving and quilting rely on color interplay and repeated geometric design. Color has always been one of my favorite things\, and years of hand dying yarn has given me an extensive foundation in working with color. \n\n\n\nCurrently\, I design quilts\, and publish patterns from them. I love scrap quilts-the more fabrics and colors-the better. I enjoy working with traditional fabrics and blocks\, as well as contemporary fabrics and approaches. I like to explore design ideas from a variety of places such as\, nature\, other textiles and art forms. \n\n\n\nI have a Bachelor’s degree in Art. \n\n\n\nI am very proud to have been named the Quilter Laureate of Porterdale\, Georgia\, where I currently live. I can’t believe I am lucky enough to live in a town that wanted to have a Quilter Laureate\, much less to get to BE that Quilter Laureate. \n\n\n\nI love to share my designs by presenting guild programs\, teaching\, and making custom quilts. I love to travel around the country\, and meet other quilters\, and share my designs and tips with them. \n\n\n\nYou can view my work at: \n\n\n\nquiltdesignsbycandace.cometsy.com/shop/quiltdesignsbycandacquiltdesignsbycandace.blogspot.comInstagram.com/quilts_by_candace \n\n\n\n/

SUMMARY:Lecture:  Pat Bishop
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX\, United States \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Pat Bishop: \n\n\n\nSince I was a small child\, I’ve loved making things.  Art has always been my favorite subject since kindergarten\, through high school and beyond.  I’ve sewn and done needlework since I was about 10 years old. \n\n\n\nI was seriously into rosemaling\, Norwegian stylized painting early on in my artistic exploration\, followed by watercolor painting which I continued to do occasionally. \n\n\n\nI spent many years making traditional quilts when my children were young and eventually moved on to art quilting and experimenting with fabric manipulation to support the materials needed in my art quilts. \n\n\n\nAlthough I am mostly a self taught artist I have had numerous teachers through many workshops and classes who have helped me along the way.  In 2007 I had two of my art quilts juried into the International Quilt Festival in Houston\, where they both won awards.  It was there that I discovered Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA.COM)\, an international group of artists who focused on textiles. In 2012 I became a Juried Artist Member of SAQA and am currently a co-rep for the Wisconsin/Illinois region.  My artwork has exhibited throughout the world and won awards in numerous venues.  I have assisted in curating several art quilt exhibits for SAQA and other organizations.  In the last few years I have expanded my work to include watercolors on fabric as well as paper and acrylic painting on fabric as well.  I exhibit and sell my work in fine art exhibits\, and I lecture and teach my technique and style.  I want to help others realize their desires to create their personal art as well as pursuing my artistic journey. \n\n\n\nI live in Shawano\, Wisconsin and work out of my home studio.

SUMMARY:Simply Abstract Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX\, United States \n\n\n\n\n\nThis is the same process used for the background of Ragged and Real. We build a landscape just with strips and leave it at that. Sunsets\, fields\, water views. It is almost too easy\, yet so satisfying. We’ll talk about what abstract is and how to think abstractly and about the compositional components of a successful design. Expand your creativity with no quilting rules or rulers. It will be easy! The landscape is built with strips of fabric collaged and fused to a background\, then straight stich quilted. No free motion involved. Machine required. Finishing options will be discussed. Beginners welcome. \n\n\n\nSupply List \n\n\n\nTo sign up\, contact Julie Reid at julie@thestitchinshed.com \n\n\n\nCost is $25 for members; $35 for non-members.
