“To Border or Not to Border”
with Karen Kay Buckley

During this lecture Karen will discuss if a quilt needs a border and how to select a border for your quilt. She will also explain how she designs many of her borders. Her hope is that this will inspire you to think about how to enhance your quilt with the right border.

Saturday
12 noon - 1 p.m.

“Layered Curves and Peaks”
with
Karen Eckmeier

One hour slide presentation and trunk show: an overview of how to create curves and angles using Karen’s “Layered Curves and Peaks” and how they are used in her Accidental Landscapes™ series. Inspired by the textures, lines and colors found in nature, Karen shares her love of curved piecing and collage, and how it led to the creation of her layering / topstitching technique.

Sunday
12 noon -1 p.m.

“Out of the Trunk and Off the Tables”
with Mary W. Kerr

 A unique trunk show and discussion about quilting with “found” fabrics. This lecture includes many examples and ideas for working with vintage textiles, old ties, period clothing, feedsacks and more.
