volunteers as a way to bring comfort to
the families of the victims. The exhibit
features 10 of these large-size quilts.

The International Quilt Association
The International
Quilt Association—
a worldwide network of quilters!
Join the one organization that promotes
and supports that art form with members
from all over the planet: The International
Quilt Association!
The International Quilt Association (IQA) is
the world’s only 501(c)(3) non-profit quilting
organization that promotes the appreciation
and art of quilting around the world.
In 1979, the four founders—Karey Patterson
Bresenhan, Nancy O’Bryant, and their mothers,
Jewel Pearce Patterson (1910-2002) and
Helen Pearce O’Bryant (1914-2005)—set out
to create a group that would bring together
the varied factions of the quilt world.
Quilt collectors, teachers, artists, retailers,
suppliers, and just plain quilt lovers have all
joined IQA to help further its goals and form
a sense of community—and you can be
a part of it!
Fiesta Stars (94” x 94”) by Dianne Thomas and Peg Pennell. Photo by Mike McCormick.
The 2016 Raffle Quilt
On the enrollment form, you can purchase chances to win the
2016 IQA Raffle Quilt Fiesta Stars, an original effort by Dianne
Thomas and Peg Pennell. Tickets are $1 each, and the winner will
be drawn at the end of Houston Festival on November 6, 2016
(winner need not be present). You can also purchase tickets at the
IQA Booth in Hall D at the show.
Our annual membership meeting is on Thursday, Nov. 3, from
5:30-6:15 p.m.
Our annual Private Photo Op is on Friday, Nov. 4 before the show
floor is open to the public. You can enter at the Hall D doors
between 8:30-9 a.m. If you have already used your free day at
the show, bring your paid admission ticket for the day. For more
information, go to the IQA booth in Hall D.
10
Members receive IQA’s online quarterly journal, Quilts…A World of Beauty, featuring informative articles,
interviews, book reviews, organizational news, a Teacher’s
Directory, Judged Show winner profiles, and scores of stunning,
full-color photos of quilts from all over the world.
You also receive special privileges at both editions of
International Quilt Festival (Chicago and Houston) unavailable
to non-members. This includes a Preview Night entrance (and
extra hours) and a private photo opportunity in Houston, one
additional day’s free admission at both shows, a chance to enter
your quilt in the annual Judged Show, “Quilts: A World of Beauty”
or apply for a grant.
And best of all—you get to keep your award-winning entry,
since IQA’s awards are not purchase prizes! In 2016, total prize
money awarded will be $96,750!
You can sign up to join IQA (or renew your current
membership) on the enrollment form in this catalogue
or at www.quilts.org. Dues are $25 for one year or
$75 for three years.

give your valid request and ask for a refund in writing at the
show only and within two hours after the class concludes, or by
the next morning if it is a full-day class. Turn in the refund request
at the Education Office, Room 340AB. Refunds are mailed after
the show closes only if there were multiple complaints for any
one class.
Occasionally, because of illness or other emergency, a teacher has
to cancel a full class at the last minute. We try to find a replacement
teacher, but give you the option of a refund or taking the same
subject from a different teacher.
Class size varies according to the teacher’s preference and the
room size. Most classes have no more than 25 students and some
have fewer.
You must get the teacher’s specific permission before photographing or taping her or his class or lecture. Do not attempt to
take flash photos of the slide screen.
EDUCATION OFFICE
Room 340AB on the third floor of the Brown Convention Center
is “command central” for all educational offerings at Festival.
It’s also the place to check for classroom lost & founds, to turn
in any refund request or special request, and to check in as a
Teacher’s Pet.
If you have any FOOD ALLERGIES or SPECIFIC DIETARY
REQUIREMENTS for any of the meal events, please contact Jill
Benge (ext.124) or Barbara Cline (ext. 122) at 713-781-6864, by
October 14.

Thanks to Janome America, Inc., Baby Lock, Bernina of
America, Pfaff Sewing Machines, Elna USA, Husqvarna
Viking Sewing Machines, and Juki America, Inc., 535 sewing
machines are provided for your use in Festival classes. This
means one machine per student is supplied in all classes requiring
machine work. Irons are provided courtesy of Rowenta®, Oliso®,
Reliable, Panasonic, and Maytag®. Baby Lock will set-up a monitored classroom of 10 machines so class enrollees can continue to
stitch on a class project or prepare for another.

101ARTFUL LOG CABINS–
LINE AND GRID
*$186
E,D,PC,SM Katie Pasquini Masopust
Use the versatile Log Cabin block
as the basis for creating linear
abstract art quilts. Start with a
painting or photograph, crop that
to a strong personal composition,
overlay a grid—even grid, uneven
grid, curved, or random grid. This
linear drawing is laid over the
inspiration photo or painting to
become the map, then Log Cabins
made up of the colors found in
each unit of the grid will be constructed and then put together
to make the quilt. Emphasis on
composition, variety, color, value,
and visual pathways.

23; 24 (18in x 24in); 25 (min 18in);
28; 30; inspiration photo—landscapes, flowers, anything that
inspires you; marking pencils for
drawing on the fabric; wooden
iron or other tool to finger press
the seams; shoe boxes or somewhere to hold and organize all
fabric strips; drawing pencil and
drafting ruler—2in wide ¼in grid
see-thru ruler, thinner than the
rotary ruler for drawing your grid;
proportional scale protractor
(avail in class to use or to buy).
Fabric: full values of the colors
found in the inspiration photo.
You will be making a wall quilt
no larger than 24in x 36in so you
need lots of choices in long 1/8s or
more—the more choices the better. You may cut your strips before
class or in class—1.25in strips
work well but you can cut several
szs for more variety. Instructor
suggests 1in, 1.25in, and 1.5in
strips of all of the colors. Bring
several uncut colors for centers
which can be up to 2in wide. All of
this depends on your inspiration
photo and the grid you choose to
lay over it. But don’t stress, just
bring lots of fabric—and then add
even more!

Vary the scale of prints, stripes, or
dots and avoid lg, multicolored
floral prints. Vary tones and
shades within the color families
or use batiks. Some quilts need
background fabrics—a few neutrals such as off-whites, greens or
grays or 1/2yd of a printed, multicolored batik may work instead.
Pre-cutting strips is not recommended. Press your fabrics and
