August 17*

Zena Thorpe shares with us “A Look at History Through the Eye of a Needle.”  A distinguished quilt maker whose quilts have been best of show at numerous national and international shows, puts quilting in the spotlight as the way women over the centuries have used their needlework to document their lives and tell their stories. (There will be a workshop on hand applique` the following day.)  Take a look at Zena's work at http://www.zenasquilts.com/page5.html.

September 21*

Mary Huey encourages us to reach outside the pattern in her talk “Discovering the Keys to Your Creativity”.  She shares the results of her own quest for creative quilting and provides ideas and steps you can take to access more creativity and increased satisfaction as a quilt maker.  (There will be a workshop the following day on adapting patterns.)
