THE EVOLUTION OF A QUILTMAKER LECTURE (1hour slide lecture)
If you are interested in this lecture, please fill out the contact form below to get more details and make an arrangement.
The lecture includes images of quilts that I have made from the first pathetic attempt to my most recent prize winning quilts. For the quilts that have won awards, I show pictures of the design inspirations (such as the lamppost in front of the St. Louis Art Museum, mosaic floor tiles from St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, a 15th century Italian manuscript, Etruscan ceramics, and embroidery motifs).
A vital part of the presentation includes the comments and critiques, both positive and negative, that I have received from contest judges. It is often encouraging for other quilters to hear that a quilt can win a top prize in a competition and still receive negative comments! Viewers can look at the pictures of the quilts and decide if they agree with the positive and negative comments made by the judges.
