Maday Delgado can’t imagine a more expressive, comforting and connecting medium, than textiles. The stories they carry are a powerful reminder that a sustainable future is important to responsibly move our craft forward, for future generations. Maday will discuss how she reuses, repairs and up-cycles textiles in her creative practice as a way to mend our relationship with “waste” in the textile industry.
Kathleen Herbach will help us explore ways to make finishing your quilts with pizazz. Accurate super skinny border, scalloped inserts, facing, and several multicolor and decorated binding options will be discussed.

The perfect background can turn a beautiful focus art piece into a stunning art piece. In this lecture, Monique Kleinhans, will explore Gloria Loughman's applique tiling technique and discuss how to use different fabrics and colors to create a "light source", giving your work the look of glowing from within.
Meg Cox’s lecture on hidden online quilt archives is a breezy and practical look at surprising resources to inspire quilters. This isn’t just a list of links, but a travelogue of sorts, sharing secrets to navigating the very best online collections and interactive resources. Did you know you can browse the entire quilt collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Or check out dozens of state documentation projects whose amazing quilts were long ago swept back into attics? Meg will also give you solid advice on copyright law, so you know how to adapt the eye-popping designs you spy online into your own quilts – legally.
In this lecture, Ann Jordan will describe three methods of rug making, using fabric. The first method, locker hooking, uses a tool called a locker hook to weave fabric strips through rug making canvas. Locker hooking is fun and easy, and she has made quite a few rugs this way. Next Ann will discuss weaving rugs on a floor loom. Finally, she will describe rug twining. After doing some research, Ann discovered this old technique, which is based on braiding. She read some books and watched some videos, and made her first rug. Since then Ann has made several more. Rug twining can really make a dent in your stash!
