A description of the processes I use to produce different patterns on fabric using Shibori dyeing. There are many fabric examples.

A fun look at ways to produce patterns on fabric using a variety of found objects. Tools from the kitchen and hardware store make some interesting marks! This lecture includes a demonstration of gelatin plate printing on fabric.

An exploration of color terms and nine different color theories with many real examples – quilts that I have made illustrating the theories.

An introduction to using decorative threads and fun embellishments for your quilts. A sampling of the topics covered include machine embroidery, bobbin work, couching, threadplay, cutwork using solvy, foiling, paintsticks and making your own "fabric" with threads.

A description of my “Swaddling to Shroud” collaboration series, with quilt artist Eleanor McCain. I will discuss how the idea came about and evolved as we worked, the challenges we faced and fun we had in the process of making nine large quilts together.

Join me on a tour of my quilting journey as I share over 65 examples spanning 30 plus years. Just how did I get here? From the start in 1986, we will follow my path through traditional quilting to art quilting, and my love of hand dyeing and surface design techniques that leads to where I am today.
