College of Agriculture Teton County Office 255 West Deloney, PO Box 1708, Jackson, Wyoming 83001 (307) 733‐3087 Phone, (307) 739‐0749 Fax, www.uwyo.edu Welcome to Quilting in the Tetons 2010, We are embarking on our Twenty Fourth Festival in 2010. I continue to stand in awe of the creative talent our quilters bring to Quilting in the Tetons. Quilting and viewing quilts has become a part of my life. I can’t imagine what other art form could bring such joy. The diversity of our quilters and the incredibly amazing difference each takes in using color and design is a feature of this festival I eagerly anticipate. The Board of Directors of Quilting in the Tetons has worked to ensure that we offer something for everyone‐
skill level and interest. We try to keep the balance in techniques and quilt styles in mind as we plan from year to year. We are pleased with the classes we are offering this year and I’m having a difficult time, again, trying to decide among them. Our get acquainted “Ice Breaker”, which is open to registered participants, is an opportunity for you to see the projects which will be offered throughout the week. We don’t allow sightseeing through our classrooms, so plan to attend the Sunday evening event to get a feel for what the workshops are producing. Our classes will be offered in the Teton County 4‐H Building, the Forty Niner Inn Conference Room and the Antler Inn Conference Room, all within walking distance of each other and downtown Jackson. Fall in Jackson Hole is colorful, the animals are moving down into the valley, often there’s crispness in the air and the community pace is slowing down from the busy summer visitor season. I hope you can join us this year. Until our paths cross, may the pieces and stitches in your life create wonder and joy. Sincerely, Mary Martin University Extension Educator QUILTING IN THE TETONS 2010 SCHEDULE OF CLASSES All classes are scheduled from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday, October 4, 2010 Designing with the Picture Piecing Technique – Cynthia England One day class – All skill levels 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: This will be a two part class. In the first part we will learn how the Picture Piecing technique is actually constructed while making County Road. This technique stresses straight seam lines. There are no insets. In the second part of the class we will be learning how to break up a design so it can be sewn using this technique. You will be provided with a packet of designs. They start out simple and gradually become more difficult. The goal of this class is to make you more comfortable designing your own wall hanging. Students can decide whether to continue sewing on their landscape or to participate in the design portion. Supply List: Sewing machine with light and medium gray threads, if you have a single hole needle plate, bring it. Personal sewing supplies – i.e. pins, scissors (both fabric and paper) seam ripper, iron (travel irons work great, not the tiny curling iron type), ironing surface (small table top board), Plastic tray – one that has a small lip on it – i.e. plastic lid from a shoe box or sweater box, not a huge one). This is for laying out and organizing the individual pieces. Zip lock baggies (around ten should do – this is to separate the individual sections). Bring an interesting photo or magazine clipping. Look for good contrast. You can visit the website to see pictures and demos. www.englanddesign.com Paper Foundation Piece 1 – Sue Rasmussen One day class – Beginner 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: This is the ‘Aha!’ class, as Sue’s students have said. You will learn the basics of the foundation paper piecing technique, letting the printed design on the paper take the thinking out of the piecing, giving you perfect, precise shapes and points every time. Working in class on a small quilt consisting of four blocks and a border; Sue will show you time‐saving tricks for piecing, cutting fabric pieces, trimming and pressing. You will learn to sew a variety of shapes and blocks, building your knowledge and confidence to use this technique in many quilt projects. Patterns provided. Pre‐requisite for Curved Flying Geese Class. Supply List: Sewing Machine (in good working order) for straight stitching. Paper and fabric scissors, thread, glass head pins 1⅜”, regular sewing supplies, needles: topstitch or jeans‐ size 80/12 or 90/14. Rotary cutter, small cutting mat and ruler (‘Add a quarter ruler’ by CM Designs‐ 6” or 12” optional). Collins wooden Finger Presser or similar presser (optional). Fabric: Background fabric for class project‐ (can be all one fabric or scrappy) total about ½ yard. Assorted scraps or fabric in a theme: Fall, Christmas, 30’s etc… Patterns for class sampler are provided. Bargello with a Twist – Louisa Smith Two day class – Confident beginner to advanced 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: Explore the beautiful tapestry style of quilt making from start to finish. Create your own quilt by taking this method one step further adding a “little twist” with fabric, color and pattern! Regular Bargello, Twist and Turns, Fractured Bargello and Double Vision are just some of the new designs we will explore. Embellishing the Bargello for added interest will be explored. At the beginning of the class the choices will be discussed and degree of difficulty explained so you can make your choice accordingly. Supply List: Note paper and pen, sharp fabric scissors, paper scissors and seam ripper. A piece of cotton batting, felt or flannel backed tablecloth for a work wall. Spray Starch (I like the regular Niagara). Rotary cutter, board and ruler (bring the largest board and the largest rulers you own). ¼ inch or larger drafting paper (optional, used to create Bargello designs on paper, colored pencils or pens are handy here as well). If embellishments are desired: Embroidery floss, beads, Fraycheck anything to go with your theme. Sewing machine (if you plan on sewing your strata in class, versus at home, have several bobbins filled) DO NOT FORGET YOUR FOOT PEDAL! Fabric: You will need a variety of fabrics, different colors, textures and prints. They should range in value, so that you can create light to dark effects. Transition fabrics are needed to go from one color family to another. For instance if you have been using a run of blue fabrics, a fabric with a lot of blue and some green would make a great transition fabric to go into a green run. I like to buy ¼ to ⅜ yd pieces. I have used as little as 16 fabrics (but you will need about 4 strips of each then) anywhere to 54 fabrics. Larger prints will be interesting to use as a focal point or theme – please make sure you have at least ½ yard. Background fabrics can be used very successfully. You will need to have about 1 to 2 yards, depending on the importance of it in your composition. As a last suggestion have at least 3 to 5 fabrics of a color family – one strip by itself is useless. Play with your cut strips on the wall to make sure you like the flow of color. Cutting strips for your bargello prior to class: From all your fabrics cut at two 2” wide strip (if you prefer to make a smaller piece you could cut your strips 1 ½” wide). That means that each strip is about 42” by 2”. If you have fat quarters, cut two and sew to each other so that it will be about 42” long also. Cutting hints: First of all have your fabrics nicely pressed. Fabrics that are wrinkled are sure to distort your strips. Be careful. Read up on cutting with a rotary cutter if you are a beginner. Make sure your fabrics are ironed and lay flat on your cutting table, we don’t want to end up with “V” or “S” curves instead of a nice straight 2” wide strip. If you are experienced and always fold your fabrics twice (4 layers!) then make sure the main fold is clearly visible and still use it as a guide for the horizontal marks of your ruler (the main fold is the fold in the fabric when it is rolled up on a bolt). Please put the horizontal lines of your ruler on the fold to keep your strips straight and keep the fold near you (next to your body versus away from you so that you can clearly see it)! The use of spray starch may keep your long strips from stretching when sewn to each other. So you should spray your fabrics before cutting. You need to cut your strips correctly, that means that all your strips have the exact same width. And by all means use a new blade! We will play with the order of the strips in class. To save valuable class time have your strips cut and place them on a hanger or leave them folded the way they are cut, stack them on top of each other and tie them with left over fabric strips in two places. This is an easy and good way to transport your cut strips and prevent them from wrinkling! Also please fill several bobbins before coming to class and use a good quality thread. www.quiltescapes.com Easy Pieces – Margaret Miller Two day class – All skill levels. Basic rotary cutting and machine piecing skills are required. 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: Come and sew an easy, fast block that will teach you so much about value and color, almost in spite of yourself! You will work with two versions of a simple, template‐free block, made of only triangle and wedge shapes. You will be making blocks and their mirror images all at once, which can create hundreds of quilts, depending on how they are rotated and placed on the design wall. The challenge will be to quit playing with the blocks and sew them into a quilt . . . Supply List: Copy of book Easy Pieces (available from www.millerquilts.com). Cutting Equipment: Rotary cutter with fresh blade or a spare rotary mat large enough to cross‐cut fabric 22” wide and an Acrylic straightedge: 6 x 24” minimum and a 6” square. Sewing equipment: Sewing machine, foot pedal and all machine cords. Tool box that came with machine, extra needles, neutral thread, with a couple bobbins already filled. Scissors and Thread snippers. Pressing Equipment: Iron and ironing board. Design wall ‐ “fuzzy surface” like flannel‐backed tablecloth and wide masking tape to adhere design wall to the wall of the room. Extension cord with multi‐plug outlet, Reducing glass (or other reducing device like camera, or binoculars). Pillow or cushion to put on your chair to raise you up to a good sewing height! Fabric: Bring 8 – 10 values (dark through medium through light) in EACH of TWO Color families (like blues and oranges, or greens and reds). Bring about ½ yard of each fabric. NOTE: You need not buy all this fabric new: Pull from your fabric collection first, and fill in value gaps with new fabric! You may bring two similar fabrics and use them as ONE of your 8 – 10 values in a given color family. The greater number of fabrics you bring, the more flexibility you will have in the workshop. Don’t forget about stripes and variegated fabrics. For day two, bring: a) A few fabrics that generally go with your color choices, and b) one or two fabrics that would be real “zingers”. Mini Blends – Lenore Crawford One day class – All skill levels 49’er Inn & Suites, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: Using tiny pieces of fabric students will create blended fabric collage designs to take home and frame. Fabric paints are used on fabric strips to create the trees. This is a fun way to create beautiful forests or gardens with leftover pieces of fabrics from your collections. Lenore will supply fabrics, fabric paints, muslin, and scraps for creating trees. Supplies List: Large tweezers; Parchment paper or Teflon ironing sheet; Iron/ironing pad; Liquid stitch or glue stick; rotary cutter (28 mm is a very functional size); Small paint brushes for detail painting: 10/0 and 1/8 angular. Materials fee $20.00: Fabric for the design; Muslin to fuse to; Fusible web (Misty Fuse) and Fabric paints. www.lenorecrawford.com Color My Sampler with Big Print Fabrics – Carole Liebzeit Two day class – All skill levels Antler Inn & Suites, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: Big, Bold and Beautiful – This is a fabulous new class featuring big prints that everyone has but is hesitant to use. I have collected Jane Sassaman, Kaffe Fassett and Alexander Henry fabrics (among others) for years and years and now they are debuting all at once in an exciting variety of 6 traditional blocks. These blocks were carefully chosen for their ability to showcase big prints! One block features an 8 inch (finished) center with wonderful contrasting saw tooth borders. All the blocks finish out to 12 inches. We will discuss the color wheel and develop new color strategies for you that will carry over to all of your quilts. Supply List: Sewing machine in good condition. Basic sewing supplies. Portable light and extension cord. Neutral thread, rotary cutter, mat & rulers also… I’ll demonstrate! Bring a work wall of 4 feet by 6 feet of fleece or flannel and extra pins. Notebook, pen and optional camera. Fabric: Here’s the fun… Go through your fabrics and pull all your large prints – florals or any other theme fabrics. Then pick out a variety of fabrics that could sash finished blocks looking at the colors within the big prints that you have. Before the date of the class you have plenty of time to explore. One option you could do is use only one large print fabric and lots of supporting fabrics to mix in the blocks and sashing. The supporting fabrics can be anything in any size print – batiks, stripes, dots, paisleys etc. I am a big fan of clear colors and the brighter the better, but you bring as much fabric as you can and we will choose. Materials fee: Optional opportunities to purchase coordinated kits of large print florals cut to strip sizes for the sampler blocks. I will also have some pre‐cut sashing strips that I know work.

Louisa introduces 4 design concepts, 2 template based and 2 template free. As well as new designs using the old favorite templates such as the Basic, Basic II and the Mini Beg ‘n Borrow to create Overlapping and Crosscutting! Start with the familiar basic strip piecing to create strata and prepare to be amazed! This class is for the beginner (making a “simpler” Strips ‘n Curves quilt), the intermediate as well as the advanced quilter, as they get to experiment with the newer designs. At the start of the class the designs will be discussed and choices can be made at that time by viewing the quilts. So don’t worry come and enjoy the class! Supply List: Several different colors of Sharpie Ultra Fine Point pens. The book Strips ‘n Curves or A New Twist on S ‘n C by Louisa Smith. Silk pins (Swiss Iris Silk Pins are great) and large quilter’s pins. Notepaper and pen. Scissors: Sharp fabric scissors and paper scissors. A piece of cotton batting or flannel backed tablecloth for a large design wall. Spray starch (I like the regular Niagara). Small rotary cutter (28 mm), largest board possible and rotary ruler. For embellishments: Embroidery floss, beads, anything to go with your theme, Fraycheck (optional) and masking tape. Sewing machine (if you plan on sewing your strata in class, versus at home, have several bobbins filled.) DO NOT FORGET YOUR FOOT PEDAL AND CORD! Freezer paper (optional, Wonder Under or Steam‐A‐Seam II or Soft Shape, I love this last one). To draft your own templates only: Gridded template plastic and an 18 inch flat, plastic drafting ruler by Collins (they have holes in them!) And a few push pins, see book. The templates available for purchase are: The 9” Basic set $29.95, The Basic Set II $24.97, the Negative/Positive Set $29.95, The 6 Inch Beg ‘n Borrow Set $24.95, Flowing Ribbon Set 8” $9.95, Flower Ribbon Set 6” $6.95, The Advanced Set (9 pieces) $49.95, The Half Clamshell $17.95 or the Swirl $25.95, lots of choices for you ☺!! Fabrics: Many, many fabrics in lots of different textures and colors: Fat quarters are ok (you will have to piece them to get an approximate 42” long strip) or ¼ yd. or ⅛ yd. pieces. Just note: The strips are cut 1 ½” wide! Whatever color schemes you may decide on, you will have to collect lots of gradations. Lights, mediums and darks are needed to create the right effect. Your strata should be at least 54 strips wide, the larger the better! At least 1 yd. of a good background fabric or ‘focus’ fabric that will work with all your fabrics. Could be a batik type, a hand dyed or an interesting print. Make sure it has lots of color in it, not a tone on tone. If you have trouble picking your fabrics, ask your local quilt store to assist you. Refer to the book to get a good idea of the type of fabrics that will work here. If your background fabric needs to be fussy cut, buy extra yardage. I prefer to have many background fabrics to audition. If you prefer, you could try to stay more monochromatic and collect all kinds of fabrics in one color family. Cutting and sewing directions prior to class: From all your fabrics cut at least one 1 ½” wide strip (I always cut two!) That means that each strip is about 42” x 1 ½”. If you have fat quarter, cut two and sew to each other so that it will be about 42” long also. Cutting hints: First of all have your fabrics nicely pressed; fabrics that are wrinkled are sure to distort your strips. Be careful. Read up on cutting with a rotary cutter if you are a beginner. Make sure your fabrics lay flat on your cutting table; we don’t want to end up with ‘V’ or ‘S’ curves instead of a nice straight 1 ½” wide strip. If you are experienced and always fold your fabrics twice (4 layers!), then make sure the main fold is clearly visible and use it as a guide for the horizontal marks of your ruler. The main fold is the fold in the fabric when it is rolled up on a bolt. Please put the horizontal lines of your ruler in the fold to keep your strips straight and keep the fold near you (next to your body versus away from you so that you can clearly set it). To save precious class time, you could sew your strips to each other. My advice is to play with them on a work wall until you are happy with the color flow. You want to create waves of color so you will have many light, medium and dark sections. Remember, it takes about 13 strips for one template, so if you want a light section, you need to have a lot of lights. When you are satisfied with your set up, you can start sewing the first two strips to each other. Press the seam open and put back on your design wall. Take the next two strips (#3 & #4) and sew these to each other; press open and put back on the wall. Do this to all your strips. Then go back to the first two sets and sew them into sets of 4. Continue the process until all are joined. Please use good thread and a small stitch, about 1.5 to 2.0 in length. Make sure you bring all left over fabrics from your strata to class! www.quiltescapes.com Set Your Sampler Blocks Afloat – Margaret Miller Two day class – Intermediate/advanced 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: Come and play with a novel way of creating an innovative setting for sampler blocks: Set them afloat on a sea of 3” Rail Fence blocks: See quilts with other backgrounds, like checkerboards and pinwheels, Easy Pieces and Strips that Sizzle blocks. This is a great way to maneuver value around the sampler or friendship blocks, to make a rich and dramatic setting for them and to learn a lot about value and color, almost in spite of yourself! Supply List: Copy of book Smashing Sets: Exciting Ways to Arrange Quilt Blocks (available from www.millerquilts.com. ) Quilt Blocks to be set: 3, 6, 9, 12 or more‐‐they can be unrelated in color and design.

This range of fabrics can be from one color family, or more than one. (Ex. Mostly blues, with a splash of red‐orange here and there). Be sure you have a good range of lights, mediums, and darks. In addition, bring a few fabrics that really blend with the above selection, and a few that really contrast with it. The more fabrics you bring, the better; but you won’t need more than a half yard of each one. Impressionistic Fabric Art – Lenore Crawford Three day class – All skill levels 49’er Inn & Suites, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: In this workshop the designing of a fused project from a student’s own photo will be undertaken. We will work from a photo that has been printed in a poster size at least 30” in one direction. Students can also choose from any one of Lenore’s patterns instead. The design will be drawn onto freezer paper to be used as the pattern and on muslin on which the design will be created. Students will learn Lenore’s fusing technique using the freezer paper pattern and Misty Fuse fusible web. Once the designs are fused Lenore will demonstrate her fabric painting technique and help students paint their own designs. The students can then assemble their art quilts and begin top‐stitching if time allows. Thread and stitching also adds another design element to the piece. Finishing techniques will be demonstrated, and students will have a beautiful finished art quilt and have learned a practical and exciting new method to create fabric art. Supply List: Iron (small travel hot enough to fuse with). Ironing mat for fusing; rotary cutters (18 mm and 28 mm), cutting mat, scissors, regular (embroidery optional), Black Fine Sharpie; Black Ultra Fine Sharpie, masking tape, freezer paper, eraser, pencil, light weight fusible web about 5 yds (Lenore supplies 2 yds.

Bring a 4 foot by 6 foot piece of flannel or fleece for a work wall. Notebook, pen, camera and film optional. Fabric: Looking at the quilt sample on line you will see bright contrasts. Think about pure, clear fabrics in a variety of patterns and we will choose a pleasing combination. Bring a variety of fabrics you enjoy and we will find possibilities as long as you have color contrasts and value contrasts. The more fabrics you bring the more you will have to choose from. Thursday, October 7, 2010 Large Landscape – Cynthia England Two day class – All skill levels 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: There are two different landscape designs to choose from in this class, Split Rail or Up on the Housetop. They are not difficult patterns to make; they have only straight seams, there are no “set‐ins” to deal with. We will not be tracing anything. The pattern is preprinted onto freezer paper. Supply List: Sewing machine with light and medium gray threads, if you have a single hole needle plate, bring it. Personal sewing supplies – i.e. pins, scissors (both fabric and paper) seam ripper, Iron (travel irons work great for this, not the tiny curling iron type), ironing surface (small table top ironing boards work well. Plastic tray – one that has a small lip on it – i.e. plastic lid from a shoe box or sweater box, not a huge one). This is for laying out and organizing the individual pieces. Zip lock baggies – around ten should do, this is to separate the individual section. Supply Kit Fee $51.00: Includes pattern and fabric for top including borders and binding payable in class. www.englanddesign.com Jackson Rose Appliqué ‐ Beverly Hindman One day class – Beginners Antler Inn & Suites, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: Learn to do traditional hand appliqué with the needle‐turning method.

Machine Quilting – Sue Rasmussen – Continued… A New Twist on Strips n’ Curves – Louisa Smith – Continued… Set Your Sampler Blocks Afloat – Margaret Miller – Continued… Impressionistic Fabric Art – Lenore Crawford – Continued… Friday, October 8, 2010 Landscape/Curved Machine Pieced – Sue Rasmussen One day class – Confident beginner to advanced 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: Pieced Landscapes? Yes! It’s easy and achievable in this workshop using Sue’s Single Tree Pattern. This is an introduction to curved machine‐piecing techniques with in depth discussions about fabric value, depth, and perspective. Students learn the steps how to design and make a pattern, audition fabrics, mark, cut and sew this simple landscape. Squaring the quilt, borders, and quilting designs will be discussed and students can use this technique as a launching pad for future quilt projects. (A little knowledge setting in sleeves to shoulders is very helpful), in this class we will work on a simple landscape pattern, exploring color and fabric uses, design elements, and curved piecing techniques. Supply List: Landscape pattern (Single Tree) supplied by instructor for additional $5.00/copy. WIDE assortment of fabric, ⅛ or ¼ yard pieces, fat quarters: batiks, landscape fabrics, and fabrics that have movement and multiple colorations. Generally, I recommend fabrics that do not read as one solid color, no tone on tones. Choose fabrics that have several different colors or motifs in them, some large and smaller scale prints. Bring several values of each color. For example choose a color for your sky (blue for example but it could be any color) and bring 4 or 5 different fabrics similar in their value; bring three different fabrics for the distant mountains, each slightly varied in their value (giving you distance and perspective). Bring a couple of tree fabrics to choose from, and bring fabrics that could be used for ground/land, both near and distance. BRING LOTS and lots!!! Sharing and trading is optional too. Sewing machine ‐cleaned and in good working order, Thread‐ neutral tones, fabric and paper scissors, White fabric pencil such as Sewline fabric Pencil or Quilter’s silver marking pencil and sharpener (for dark fabrics), yellow highlighter, fine or medium Pigma Micro Pens size 01 or 05, black or several colors if possible, this will be used on the wax side of freezer paper and on the fabric. Pencil, ball point pen, blue painters tape or masking tape, colored pencils, color markers or crayons, Freezer paper 18” wide, Pins (1 ⅜” white or blue glass head pins) and regular sewing supplies. Foam core board (at least 2’ x 3’ available at craft stores). Optional: Reducing glass, small binoculars or camera for viewing your project, Pictures or photos of future projects to discuss, Tracing paper/white paper to work on future designs. www.suerasmussenquilts.com One Patch Plus – Louisa Smith One day class – Confident beginner to advanced 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: In just three easy steps: Color, Design and Theme, we will create beautiful quilts. Starting with a color source such as a picture or photograph, collecting the fabrics you see in this source, designing with simple shapes the base (or quilt top) and by embellishing further on the theme. Some of the designs we will explore are: The Kite, The Half Clamshell, The Curved Diamond, the Curved Kite, the 6” Flowing Ribbon and Multi Color Nine patches, etc. (Please note: In this class small pieces of many, many fabrics in lots of different textures and colors are used. Stay away from too many "tone on tones" and use fabrics that have a lot of color and can transition from one color family into another.) Supply List: The One Patch Plus book by Louisa Smith & Lisa Harris. $24.95. One Patch Plus template sets are available in class ($24.95), they contain the 4 pieces to create the Curved Kite, Curved Diamond, Kite or the Half Clamshell quilts seen in the book and the 6” Flowing Ribbon ($6.95). A Sharpie Ultra Fine Point pen & Silk pins (Swiss Iris Silk Pins are great) and large quilter's pins. Notepaper and pen, sharp fabric scissors, paper scissors & seam ripper. A piece of cotton batting, felt or flannel backed tablecloth for a work wall. Spray Starch (I like the regular Niagara). Small rotary cutter, ruler & board or a small turntable (optional). For embellishments: Embroidery floss, beads, Fraycheck (optional), anything to go with your theme. You can use any embellishments you choose. Steam‐A‐Seam II Lite , Wonder Under Lite or my favorite Soft Shape. Sewing machine; unless you prefer to hand piece. DO NOT FORGET YOUR FOOT PEDAL and your machine cords! Fabric: Lots and lots of fabrics in the colors of your theme. For instance if you want to do Fall, bring lots of colors and textures that remind you of Fall or if you want to do a Monet type wall hanging get colors to look like one of his paintings. Any fabrics that will help you with your theme or image will also be helpful. Leaves for fall, fish for aquarium or boats and shells for beach scenes. YOU GET THE PICTURE. If you have a magazine picture or photograph shop with this image and bring fabric colors that you see in the picture. For instance if you see a particular red in your picture bring many reds that are like the one in the picture, some lighter, some the same and some darker. So the trick is: Find an interesting image, start selecting as many fabrics as you can – you will only need small pieces so go thru your scraps, shop and bring as many as you can!! The key here: Lots of fabrics in gradations, with different textures, prints, plaids and floral. Most of the time our image is just used to steal the color!!!!! Stay away from fabrics that are plain or tone on tone. If they don’t have a lot of color in them they are hard to work with. For instance a navy and white print because of the strong contrast in one fabric, would not work well (unless you were doing winter and used only Blues) but a Batik Navy with other colors would. www.quiltescapes.com Sampling Angle Play – Margaret Miller One day class – All skill levels. Basic rotary cutting and machine piecing skills are required. 4‐H Building, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Description: In this workshop students will learn to cut with the Angle Play™ templates, including cutting half‐size and pieced triangles.

I have worked in many different media including pen and ink, acrylics, wood, and others and became intrigued with fabric as a medium. Over the years my art quilting techniques have developed and grown. Now using fabric along with fabric painting and thread painting on fused fabrics has allowed me to interpret my love of France, their architecture, and flower gardens in a sort of “fabric painting”. I am able to make beautiful landscapes with dramatic color, texture, and warmth that was not possible simply with paint. The finished art quilts are my interpretation, in fabric, of places to escape to and dream about. CYNTHIA ENGLAND began quilting at the age of 13; her interest in quilting was piqued again in 1976 after seeing a display of the Texas Sesquicential quilts in a nearby mall. Essentially a self‐taught quilter, she has made about 24 bed‐sized quilts and over 70 wall quilts. Although she started with and occasionally still makes traditional style quilts. Using skills she developed as a commercial graphic artist, she creates quilts depicting some of her favorite subjects: flowers, nature, antiques and architecture. After using appliqué to get the realistic effect in her early quilts, Cynthia gradually devised a machine piecing technique she calls Picture Piecing. This technique breaks the design down into pieces that can all be sewn using straight seams and allows her to include intricate details and shading without a single set‐in seam. Her first quilt made entirely from that technique, Piece and Quiet, was so successful she was inspired to continue designing with the Picture Piecing method. After numerous requests to teach her technique to other quilters, Cynthia launched a line of Picture Piecing patterns and thus her business, England Design, was born. BEVERLY HINDMAN has been quilting since 1974 and has taught classes and workshops in Community Education for the City of Idaho Falls Arts and Crafts Center, as well as shops and quilt guilds in Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. She has been a regular contributor to Quilting in the Tetons. She has won a number of blue ribbons for quilts and has been involved in making several quilts receiving national recognition. Beverly is a retired high school math teacher. CAROLE LIEBZEIT is all about color! If you want to broaden your color confidence, then Carole’s classes will do the trick. A degree in art, the color wheel, nature and tribal textiles have all combined for a recipe for success! You will develop a progression of skills based on a 40 year background in art education. Her quilts revolve around traditional blocks, but have clear, bright colors used in unconventional ways. Carole has taught and lectured in the United States, Europe and the Middle East and her work is also been featured in a variety of media‐both TV and in print. Georgia Bonesteel filmed a segment in Wyoming a few years ago in Carole’s studio for her TV series. She is a year‐round resident of Jackson Hole, Wyoming and travels worldwide inspiring quilters to stretch their color boundaries. Most recently she completed a trek in Nepal and also visited the Hill Tribes in Northern Thailand. MARGARET MILLER has been making quilts, teaching far and wide, writing books on quilt making, and designing Teaching quilts for magazines for 30 years… and there is no end in sight! Margaret is known for the humor, enthusiasm, and sincere encouragement of quilt makers at all levels of skill and experience in her lectures and workshops. She takes quilters at whatever stage they are, and encourages them to reach for the unexpected in their quilts. She often gets students to achieve things they didn’t know they could, and take a step or two down the road toward becoming at ease with color and design. Throughout her career she has taught the idea of “reach for the unexpected” in each quilt that you make; make it a little bit different than the last ones you have completed—
in the complexity of design, in the way the design changes as your eye roams across the surface, in the number of colors and/or values you use in a given project. My mantra on color is, “never use two fabrics when you can use twenty”!! SUE RASMUSSEN Sue Rasmussen, a diversified quilt artist, has been teaching for over 20 years. Sue has a degree in Textile Sciences from the University California at Davis, and approaches quilting with a clear understanding of ‘how and why’. She and her quilts have appeared in HGTV’s Simply Quilts, The Carol Duvall Show, numerous publications, exhibited and competed in both national and international quilt shows. Known for her fun attitude that she brings to her teaching, Sue shares her extensive knowledge and creativity in her machine piecing and machine quilting classes, coaxing the artist within to explore freestyle, no‐marking machine quilting, graceful curved flying geese, and beautiful pieced landscapes. Sue is also involved in breeding and showing her Golden Retrievers, her dogs compete in agility, tracking, conformation and obedience. Her friends say she is a golden trapped in a human body, always fun, smiling and energetic. LOUISA SMITH Louisa is a quilter with a global perspective on needlework. Born in Indonesia, where the fabulous batiks of the region kindled a lifelong love of fabric, she was educated in the Netherlands, where years of appreciation for the needle arts started. Upon moving to the United States in 1960, she was immediately drawn to quilting and quickly became an accomplished devotee. Although the quilting started off with a traditional approach, soon new and exciting designs took over and the traditional gave way to more innovative work. The incredible flexibility that fiber offers attracted her to “paint” with fabrics. She has developed two new teaching procedures: “Color, Design and Theme” and “Strips ‘n Curves”. Her work has been exhibited nationwide.
