Event Details

Appropriate level: Confident Beginner to Advanced.

Chicken Challenge. Chickens have often found their way into the quilt world — small wonder given the astonishing variety of plumage in chicken breeds. Among the most memorable poultry quilts are the charming chickens and roosters (and turkeys and ducks) created by Ruth McDowell (www.ruthbmcdowell.com). Join us in poultry piecing to celebrate these barnyard wonders!

Ann Shaw’s quilts are inspired by favorite photographs, family events, and various professional collaborations (e.g. the primate quilts). All of these quilts use paper piecing techniques to create an abstract interpretation of the photo or object — be it car, plant or animal. Based on the design and piecing techniques of Ruth McDowell, these designs take traditional patchwork a step further through the use of unexpected fabric choices. In this class, you will select from several patterns to create a wall hanging. A brief discussion introduces the methods and techniques of freezer paper templates. You will then prepare a freezer paper template for your pattern and begin the process of selecting fabrics for your design. We will also discuss sewing methods and sewing order to complete your wall hanging.

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.
