Virtual Lectures Available

Is your guild meeting virtually and looking for guest lecturers?  I am happy to be offering two virtual lectures now, a trunk show and Quilt as Desired.  

If your guild is interested you can find more information (pricing, etc) on my Teaching Page, or contact me at MeadowMistDesigns (at) gmail (dot) com.

45-60 minute lecture and Q&A

Those three words, “quilt as desired” strike fear in many quilters. In this lecture, I take you through a step by step process you can use to help determine which quilt design you should use on your quilt, whether you are quilting the quilt yourself or sending it out to a quilting professional. This process helps you decide between allover versus custom patterns, which designs to use, and even quilting density and thread color. I will be showing many of my quilts and discussing how I decided on the quilting designs for each.

Meadow Mist Designs Trunk Show

45-60 minute discussion and Q&A

My trunk show shares my story of how I became a quilter and my work has evolved over time.  The talk is stuffed full of fabric picking tips, quilting advice, design inspiration, fabric/notion information, and more!    

I would love to talk to your guild!

Teaching at QuiltCon!!

I have some super exciting news...I will be teaching at QuiltCon 2019 in Nashville, TN!!

I will be teaching two 3-hour lectures:

Subtracting for Minimalism

Thursday Feb 21st, 9 am-12 pm

Subtracting for minimalism is a combination lecture and hands-on workshop that explores taking away elements from a full quilt design to create a minimalist pattern. The workshop will begin by showing sample quilts made using the subtracting for minimalism technique, then the method will be taught using both computer and hand drawn approaches. Students will practice the method by creating their own hand drawn minimalist quilt designs and then learn how to develop the designs into a plan for an actual quilt. Note: This is a design only course and does not include any sewing.

EQ8 for Beginners

Thursday Feb 21st, 6 pm - 9 pm

Are you new to Electric Quilt 8 and don't know where to start? You can leave your pencil and graph paper behind when you learn the basic functions and explore the versatility of EQ8 with this workshop. Some topics that will be covered include: how to navigate the block and quilt worktables, use library blocks and fabrics, create your own blocks, and build a quilt top with the blocks using different block settings, colors, fabrics, sashing, borders, and more. This is a hands-on computer class and students must bring their own laptop computers with EQ8 already installed.

I was so excited to see my picture with all of the other faculty!

You can find my courses and all of the offerings at QuiltCon on the QuiltCon website under Catalog and Schedule.  Are you planning on attending QuiltCon next year?
