SUMMARY:Lecture: Bethanne Nemesh - My Lifetime as a Quilter
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX\, United States \n\n\n\nBethanne Nemesh began her quilting journey more than 27 years ago\, in college.  A professor helped her see that she didn’t have to tolerate the “boring” calicos of the era.  She could go out and dye or manipulate her materials to match her vision…which allowed her to think of quilts as more than the family heirlooms she had grown up with.  Then\, batik fabric arrived on the scene and she was completely hooked. \n\n\n\nBethanne began her longarm machine sewing business in 2008 with the purchase of an A-1 brand machine.  Her innovative approach creating secondary designs\, in generally traditional quilts\, as well as unique free-hand quilting patterns\, quickly earned her a thriving quilt-for-hire business.  However\, sharing her work on-line\, and sharing her personal quilts on the national show circuit\, changed her business forever.  Her true love is in teaching others to quilt.  Bethanne loves interacting with her students.  Her favorite classes to teach are actually practical ones.  She firmly believes in each student having a strong grasp of foundation quilting skills\, and if they choose to quilt for hire\, a firm understanding of the link between style\, and time spent quilting\, and how that relates to their personal business model.  She loves encouraging her students to express themselves uniquely in their art\, ignore the trends of the quilt world\, and find their own creative path. \n\n\n\nHer quilts are deeply personal to her\, expressing a story in cloth.  Her pictographic show quilts feature a completely original collage of flora and fauna\, depicting individual ecosystems\, layered with meaning.  Her contemporary whole cloth quilts feature a unique intertwined and interlocked style\, melding traditional elements with the fantastic.  Her yarn couched pieces are more for fun and exploration of a new media\, but one that she finds a great deal of pleasure in. Her more modern quilts express emotion through free motion quilting and blended quilt texture.

SUMMARY:Lynn Carson Harris: Precision Piecing and Trunk Show
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church\, 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX 77713 \n\n\n\nI create textile art with the traditional techniques past generations of my family used to make practical\, everyday items such as clothes and quilts. I connect the past to the present and honor the beauty and artistry of the handmade. While all of my pieces are original designs\, I turn to the geometric patterns of antique quilts for inspiration. My art often evolves dramatically from the start to finish of a piece\, and I find as much pleasure in the process as in the completed pieces.  My most recent work is a series of small-scale abstract designs inspired by the doll-house items my sisters and I made when I was younger. I enjoy playing with color and especially watching the original layouts shrink as they are sewn together. I love all things tiny and feel I am reaching the limits of how small one can go in making a quilt using traditional methods.

SUMMARY:Tina Craig Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church\, 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX\, 77713 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHi! I’m Tina Craig. I started quilting in 1990 as an unemployed newlywed looking for something to do. I took a beginner sampler quilt class at Colchester Mill Fabric Store and haven’t stopped stitching yet. I try to challenge myself to learn something new with every quilt.  \n\n\n\nWhen we moved to a seaside town in southern Rhode Island in 1997\, Seaside Stitches was born. Back then\, I was making and selling hundreds of paper-pieced quilt block lapel pins. Now\, I prefer to teach you how to make your own! \n\n\n\nI specialize in precision piecing (foundation paper piecing and English paper piecing) and domestic machine quilting. I enjoy learning new techniques and have even stepped out of my comfort zone to try art quilting. \n\n\n\nI love traveling to quilt guilds\, but will continue to be available on Zoom. My trunk shows are engaging and fun. Every quilt I show has a story to tell. Most of my workshops are technique-based\, so students leave with knowledge that translates to many future projects.

SUMMARY:Class: The Magic of Fabulous Faces
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church\, 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX\, 77713 \n\n\n\nRenowned quilters Freddy Moran (94 years old) and Jean Impey joined their creative spirits back in 2017 when they agreed to teach a Collage Retreat.   Each artist has their own unique style of portraits\, and each portrait has a unique story and name. \n\n\n\nFreddy and I have developed this workshop and both teach it independently for now.   Our process requires a glue stick and basic design principles. We both create our own faces and I quilt and finish all of my own as well as Freddy’s using my own techniques for quilting:  “Pencil Quilting” and “Sketchy Quilting.” \n\n\n\nI’d dare to claim\, this workshop promises to be the most enjoyable one yet! Dive into the art of crafting expressive faces with ease and minimal materials. Then\, uncover my unique quilting techniques to bring your design to life\, from quilting to binding. \n\n\n\nSupply list to follow. \n\n\n\n$25 for members; $35 for non-members

SUMMARY:Michelle Walker: Fabulous Fabric Collage
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church\, 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX 77713 \n\n\n\nMy name is Michelle Walker. I have had a love of quilts since I was a little girl that started with a quilt my grandmother made. I took a class in 1999 through the Plano Parks and Recreation and learned the basics. I went on to teach myself new patterns and techniques\, mainly through books. I took a class in Wylie and ended up winning a ribbon in 2011 at the Plano Quilt Show for my first show quilt.  \n\n\n\n​After moving to Beaumont\, TX in 2013\, I became more involved in quilting. I joined the Golden Triangle Quilt Guild in 2015. I purchased my longarm machine in 2016 and will now share my love of quilting with everyone.  \n\n\n\n​In 2023\, I started teaching on quilt cruises with Stitchin Heaven. Be sure to check their travel schedule of cruises and join us for a week of fun! \n\n\n\n​In 2025\, I became a certified teacher for Laura Heine fabric collages. I love her collages and now I can teach you her methods to make beautiful art quilts! \n\n\n\n$25 for members; 35 for non-members

SUMMARY:Lisa Thorpe-Lecture: Surface Design Sampler
DESCRIPTION:Christ Covenant Church\, 6390 North Major Drive\, Beaumont\, TX 77713 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI began my artistic journey as a kid sewing crazy clothes for all my Barbie dolls on my hand crank\, kiddy sewing machine. This trail led me to UC Davis Design and Art departments\, where my emphasis was on textiles and wearable art. Later I received my teaching credential in Art and Education from San Francisco State University. I currently live in Little Rock\, Arkansas after living my whole life in Northern California. This move has pushed me in unexpected ways to tell my story\, state my case\, explain myself in a new way in a new culture. It has been good and hard all at once! \n\n\n\nAs an artist I am an explorer and observer first. I like to wander and wonder\, let things percolate while I ponder. I have numerous sketchbooks full of chicken scratch drawings and cryptic thoughts. Over time (and often during a long hot shower) an idea will keep rising to the surface\, I might even push that thought bubble below the surface\, telling it I don’t have time for you\, but the best ideas won’t pop and so I move on from thought to action. I have used many mediums over the years from fabric to painting to printing and collage but the unifying thread through all these mediums is a love of the puzzle. I like to problem solve\, to piece and play with an idea until it can take shape as a visual idea. \n\n\n\nI teach creative workshops throughout the country. I have been invited to lead workshops for quilt guilds\, church groups and friend groups and been honored to teach at national creative conferences such as Craft Napa\, IQF Houston and more. I have published technique articles in Quilting Arts\, and Cloth Paper Scissors magazines and was a feature artist in the 2024 season of the PBS Quilting Arts TV show and on The Quilt Show in 2022 (episode 3002). I hope you will invite me to lead a creative workshop wherever you are or via Zoom in the comfort of our own homes. \n\n\n\n$25 for members; $35 for non-members
