“Living a Creative Life” In this lecture/trunk show Jane Haworth will describe how she became the quilt maker she is today and describe the influences and techniques that she uses. She will talk about setting up an Etsy shop and how she uses this for her T-shirt quilt business. Jane will also describe some of the challenging requests she receives from clients and how trying something new brings out her creative spirit. Jane’s goal is to inspire quilters to go out of their comfort zone and just have fun creating.

Jane Haworth Workshop: TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING T SHIRT QUILTS
I have been making T Shirt Quilts full time for over 2 years making quilts form around the USA from my Etsy shop. In that time I have developed ways and techniques for making the most of this style that is now growing ever more popular.
In this class I will share with students the best way to design the quilt with the T Shirts you have to use, every one is different! Share a variety of designs and options and how to combine cotton fabrics with the shirts to help stabilize them.
Although the quilt won’t get finished during this class students will get it mapped out, cut and blocks started before continuing on at home.

Lecture by Tracey Brookshier – “Brave Use of Color”
October 29, 2020
Workshop by Tracey Brookshier “Butterfly Town” has large (12”) easy-to-piece blocks made from strips, squares, and rectangles. Choose large-scale designer prints for the upper wings; medium to small scale prints for the lower wings; and a darker contrasting print or solid for the body and cornerstones. A tone-on-tone or other subtle print works well in the background to show off the butterflies.
