Featured Speakers Cynthia England – “WHY DID I BUY THIS UGLY FABRIC?” A lighthearted look at conversational prints offers ideas on how to incorporate these fabrics into your quilts. Samples shown will include a wide range of techniques. Topics discussed include how to design a quilt around a particular fabric, block exchange, and the various techniques used to create the quilts. Farewell Banquet Esterita Austin - “ESTERITA’S CLASSIC ROCK” Join Esterita for a humorous look at her journey … from the beginning quilts to the rock steady present. This slide/trunk show zips along as it illustrates how she grew the seed of a concept into bold design themes. The focus is on the power of value over color in constructing a dramatic art quilt composition. With her explanations and generously dispensed tips, you’ll be inspired to run back to your stash and fuse your own thread of an idea into a WOW fabric composition.
