Lecture by Ann P. Shaw
“Playing with Fabrics”
Lecture description: Unusual fabric choices is a hallmark of my pictorial quilt style. In this presentation, I will discuss the design qualities inherent in printed fabrics and the ways fabric choices contribute to the overall visual impact of a quilt. Quilts from many ears as well as my own work serve to illustrate how I select and audition printed fabrics that bring pictorial quilts to life.
This lecture follows the business meeting on Quilt Day.

The lure of indigo is strong — the classic blue and white combination found in many Japanese textiles is cool, crisp, and so appealing. From classic kimonos to denim jeans, indigo has been used by many cultures for dyeing cloth, and the Japanese have refined the use of indigo to an art form. This is the class to use all those lovely blue and white shibori fabrics you’ve dyed yourself, or use carefully curated blue and white fabrics from your stash. Each participant will develop a simple geometric block design based on unfolded origami shapes, set a theme and create variations, and combine them into the beginning of a fresh and modern mini quilt top.
The class runs from 9:30 AM-4:00 PM Eastern Time with a 1/2 hour break for lunch. The Zoom classroom opens at 9:00 AM and students should be online by 9:15 AM.
