2027 Program Line-Up

January 12 - Jenny Lyons - "The Beauty of the Imperfect"

Jenny has been teaching quilting classes since 2008 and recently has become a certified judge.  She is known as the Quilt Skipper since she became so delighted quilting her own quilts - it is her joy to create art art with her free motion qulting.

Jenny's work has been juried in many major shows and art galleries; some are held by private cololectors.

January 13, 9:30-3:30 - Workshop "Sheer Blossoms"

This is just pure fun! Let’s play with squares of sheer fabric, layering them on a quilted background to create colorful effects. This is color theory without color wheels or rules, just playing with color like a Kindergartner! This is a great class for a timid free motion quilter and more experienced quilters can add quilted plants, insects, animals…. This is a joyful class with a minimal supply list – does it get any better than that?

February 9 - Sheila Frampton-Cooper - "Spontaneous Creation & Inspiration" - A Virtual Presentation

In 2009, Sheila was brought to quilting by Project Linus. She brought fabric to donate and ended up spending the day drawing on freezer backed fabric.  the first yearshe made 35 quilts to donate. In 2010, she made her first art quilt utilizing her first love of improvising.  Much of Sheila's work is about nature: oceans, gardens, fantasy landscapes and various creatures.

She has won many awards at major quilt shows and is an international teacher.
