Sponsored by Major Sponsor Brother, and Sponsors Gammill, Handi Quilter, Innova and Mancuso Show Management. The ARTrageous Sea - ARTrageous Fiber ArtistsARTrageous Fiber Artists is a group of women from Missouri who meet monthly to explore mixed media techniques and to encourage creativity. One way these goals are accomplished is through group challenges. For the current challenge, they decided on an ocean and sea theme. Each quilt is 25” wide x 30” long, and includes ocean or sea images, with 1/3 of each quilt using fabric from Timeless Treasures Peacock Ombre.
Blue Guitar - Barbara DahlbergBarbara Dahlberg's collection of twelve small art quilts inspired by famous artists are her original designs using mixed media techniques on fabric.

Materials include various types of fabric, thread, paper, fiber, sand, cord, paper towel, ink, beads, and buttons. Each one measures 12” x 12”. After studying the work of each of the chosen artists, Barbara drew her inspiration from elements such as line, color, shape, atmosphere, and theme. A blue guitar, or its unseen presence, flows through the pieces to provide unity.

Double Wedding Ring Quilts - Edward BostickWhen I received the magazine Quilt a couple years ago, I found an intriguing pattern called “Tying the Knot”, a paper pieced version of a “Double Wedding Ring” quilt. What made it different (and something I liked), was that you did not have to adhere to the outline of selected numbers, spaces or the sizes indicated on the pattern. It gave me the freedom to scrap, color and shape how I wanted to. With a huge collection of assorted scraps, I made and completed my first “Double Wedding Ring”. When it was finished, I saw how radiant the colors blended and popped to enhance its underlying beauty. As my skills in quilting improved and my understanding of mixing colors has grown, I have 3
continued to come back to this pattern and its wonderful possibilities. Displayed are five of these quilts; please enjoy!
Exploring Vintage Linens - Nancy BrelandA group of wall quilts featuring vintage linens and trims in various sizes and arrange-ments. Linens are sewn to machine quilted backgrounds. Some quilts are also embellished with beads and buttons.
Heat/Ice Cold-Frozen - Quilts on the Wall Fiber ArtistsThis exhibit is a study in contrast between temperatures presented by Quilts on the Wall and juried by Kathleen McCabe. HEAT: Are you getting hotter? Feel the sweat on your brow? Getting thirsty? Need some ice? It’s not a hot flash…It’s Quilts on the Wall’s HEAT Challenge. Warm color pallets bring the artists’ HOT HOT HOT inspirations to life.COLD: Think hot chocolate in front of a fire warming your chilly nose. Frost on the window pane. The sparkle of snowflakes and shimmering ice crystals on a waterfall. Snow on the mountain top and chickadees wintering in the trees. You’re getting colder, colder, colder...It's Quilts on the Wall’s ICE COLD-FROZEN Challenge. INSPIRED by Allyson AllenINSPIRED by Mid-Century Modern master artists like Norman Lewis, Elijah Pierce, and Alma Thomas...sculptors, painters, and photographers whose work beautifully translates into quilted textile art. This exhibit is Allyson Allen’s INSPIRED fabric interpre-tations.
Interpreting Whistler’s Art in Quilts with Mary WalterIn 2010, The Whistler House Museum in Lowell, Maschussetts asked quilt artist Mary Walter to recreate one of James McNeill Whistler’s artworks as a quilt. Mary chose the iconic Whistler’s Mother to interpret. After making her quilt, she taught a small class of students to create their version using her pattern. The quilts were then exhibited in the museum’s Members Gallery in conjunction with their annual juried art quilt exhibit, and as part of a citywide celebration highlighting Lowell’s rich textile history.
My Journey into Quilting - Quilts by Joyce HughesI am honored to share my journey of quilting and development of my technique, “Dimensional Thread Painting”. The quilts show the growth of my quilting and how I expanded as a fiber artist over the years. Being self-taught, there are a lot of learning curves of what works and what does not. Notice the change in the thread work from my earlier quilts to the present. Playing with free motion quilting, layering of threads, adding embellishments and learning a variety of techniques such as bobbin work and trapunto, helps to create the dimension and added texture to “Dimensional Thread Painting”. POP Art Challenge - Pittsburgh Modern Quilt GuildPOP Art! Think Andy Warhol, Mid-Century comics or bright and cheerful graphics. The Pittsburgh Modern Quilt Guild presented a challenge to its members: create a mini quilt based off the inspiration of POP Art. This collection of work is the result of that challenge, representing the different personalities of many of our members!
Quilts of the Central Jersey Modern Quilt GuildThe Central Jersey Modern Quilt Guild (CJMQG) was established in 2012 by quilt makers eager to participate in a movement across the quilt world. This movement embraces a modern aesthetic that often includes bold colors, increased use of solid colored fabrics, improvisation, and asymmetry. Our members meet monthly in Pennington, New Jersey and visitors and new members are always welcome. Please visit our website: www.centraljerseymqg.blogspot.com.
Quilts of The Philadelphia Modern Quilt GuildThe Philadelphia Modern Quilt Guild (Philly MQG) is a chapter of a national organiza-tion, The Modern Quilt Guild. Members meet to share their love of modern quilting and host activities focused on modern quilting aesthetics and techniques. According to The Modern Quilt Guild, “Modern quilts are primarily functional and inspired by modern design. Modern quilters work in different styles and define modern quilting in different ways. ‘Modern traditionalism’ or the updating of classic quilt designs is often seen in modern quilting.” Contact [email protected] or visit www.phillymodernquiltguild.com for more information.
Quilts of the Pittsburgh Modern Quilt Guild The Pittsburgh Modern Quilt Guild serves members of the Greater Pittsburgh area. Our membership consists of a diverse group of over fifty women from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Quilters Treasure 2019 ChallengeThe Quilters Treasure’s 15th Annual Challenge theme was “The Fabric is Black & Gray. What Makes it a Great Day!” and entrants were asked to use the challenge fabric “Black & Gray” from the Quilters Treasure line of fabric. A Wearable Art category was added in 2006. Sponsors for this challenge included Singer Sewing Machine, Hobbs Bonded Fibers, Quilters Rule, Barb’s Original, YLI Thread and Morgan Products, Annabella Quilting Studio & The Colonial Needle Company.

Row Robinistas - Mt. Airy QuiltersEight quilters from Mt. Airy Quilters were inspired to do a row challenge. Each quilter decided upon a theme, pattern or a common color or colors. Quilters were encour-aged to follow the suggestions of the quilt owner in a creative way and met monthly to pass completed rows to quilters. At the end of the eight months, the group had a “Rowveal.” This led to some unexpected, beautiful and revealing rows. Eight rows were presented to each quilter and the rows met or even exceeded it owner’s expectations. At that point, the quilter was free to combine or rearrange the rows as she wished to create a final product or products she loved. It was a fantastic experience!
Stretching Art and Tradition 20: Turning TwentyIt’s a big milestone for Stretching Art and Tradition - they are turning 20! For the SAT20 challenge, artists were asked to explore the number twenty in any way they could think of. Twenty dollars buys a meal, twenty stitches to the inch (is there such a thing?), 2’s company...3’s a crowd...20 is a party, or twenty pieces of fabric. The Stretching Art and Tradition Challenge is an online, non-juried yearly challenge. The organization's mission is to foster the growth of traditional and art quilters alike. Through the challenge theme, quilters of various styles, backgrounds and experience levels are given the opportunity to stretch their wings to produce and exhibit work that interprets the challenge theme in a loosely recognizable fashion.
Stripping in the National Parks - ARTrageous QuiltersARTrageous’s challenge was to create a strip-pieced partially stripped landscape celebrating the National Parks. They discussed artists’ approaches to landscape quilting and stripped pieced landscapes, then investigated more on their own. Artrageous Quilters is based in eastern North Carolina, drawing quilters from over one hundred miles, and meets at Cotton Fields Quilt Shop in Washington, North Carolina on the first Saturday of most months. Curated by Katherine McNeese.
What is Black and White and ????????? All Over? - Courthouse QuiltersMembers of Courthouse Quilters were challenged to create a quilt using the following guidelines: A black, white, with or without shades of grey quilt or a black, white, with or without shades of grey and ONE solid tone of a color quilt. The blacks, whites and greys could be prints as long as they did not contain any other colors including metallics. Courthouse Quilters Guild is a non-profit organization, founded in 1988 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Currently the guild has about 80 members and meets in a lovely little river town called Frenchtown. Their mission includes preserving and promoting the tradition and history of quilting as well as fostering fellowship among interested persons in all aspects of quilting. They also sponsor and support educational quilting activities to encourage quilt-making and the appreciation of quilts. To find out more about Courthouse Quilters, please go to www.courthousequilters.org.
Winchester, Virginia – Winchester Modern QuiltersEight quilters from professionals to confident beginners provided a ‘chunk’ of this unique quilt! The Winchester, Virginia quilt depicts downtown Winchester, founded in 1744 at the site of a Shawnee Indian camp ground. The City of Winchester is the oldest city in Virginia west of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is located at the northern entrance of the Shenandoah Valley. The City has a population of approximately 26,000 residents.

At the end of the eight months, the group had a “Rowveal.” This led to some unexpected, beautiful and revealing rows. Eight rows were presented to each quilter and the rows met or even exceeded it owner’s expectations. At that point, the quilter was free to combine or rearrange the rows as she wished to create a final product or products she loved. It was a fantastic experience!
Stretching Art and Tradition 20: Turning TwentyIt’s a big milestone for Stretching Art and Tradition - they are turning 20! For the SAT20 challenge, artists were asked to explore the number twenty in any way they could think of. Twenty dollars buys a meal, twenty stitches to the inch (is there such a thing?), 2’s company...3’s a crowd...20 is a party, or twenty pieces of fabric. The Stretching Art and Tradition Challenge is an online, non-juried yearly challenge. The organization's mission is to foster the growth of traditional and art quilters alike. Through the challenge theme, quilters of various styles, backgrounds and experience levels are given the opportunity to stretch their wings to produce and exhibit work that interprets the challenge theme in a loosely recognizable fashion.
Stripping in the National Parks - ARTrageous QuiltersARTrageous’s challenge was to create a strip-pieced partially stripped landscape celebrating the National Parks. They discussed artists’ approaches to landscape quilting and stripped pieced landscapes, then investigated more on their own. Artrageous Quilters is based in eastern North Carolina, drawing quilters from over one hundred miles, and meets at Cotton Fields Quilt Shop in Washington, North Carolina on the first Saturday of most months. Curated by Katherine McNeese.
What is Black and White and ????????? All Over? - Courthouse QuiltersMembers of Courthouse Quilters were challenged to create a quilt using the following guidelines: A black, white, with or without shades of grey quilt or a black, white, with or without shades of grey and ONE solid tone of a color quilt. The blacks, whites and greys could be prints as long as they did not contain any other colors including metallics. Courthouse Quilters Guild is a non-profit organization, founded in 1988 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Currently the guild has about 80 members and meets in a lovely little river town called Frenchtown. Their mission includes preserving and promoting the tradition and history of quilting as well as fostering fellowship among interested persons in all aspects of quilting. They also sponsor and support educational quilting activities to encourage quilt-making and the appreciation of quilts. To find out more about Courthouse Quilters, please go to www.courthousequilters.org.
Winchester, Virginia – Winchester Modern QuiltersEight quilters from professionals to confident beginners provided a ‘chunk’ of this unique quilt! The Winchester, Virginia quilt depicts downtown Winchester, founded in 1744 at the site of a Shawnee Indian camp ground. The City of Winchester is the oldest city in Virginia west of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is located at the northern entrance of the Shenandoah Valley. The City has a population of approximately 26,000 residents.
The Yellow Line - Quilts on the Wall Fiber Artists“Yellow Line”, was a challenge issued to Quilts on the Wall members. Artists were asked to create a piece of artwork, 12” wide by 48” long, that contained a 1½” strip of
yellow fabric entering and exiting the piece. What happens in the middle was up to the artist. The Yellow Line unifies the exhibit; each piece is hung to visually travel from one piece to another, while retaining each artist’s individual style and personal interpreta-tion. Founded in 1998, Quilts on the Wall is an association of textile artists who seek to take traditional quilting into the realm of one-of-a-kind artwork which would be hung on the wall, as opposed to the traditional utilitarian bed quilt.

Before you print your image, please send digital images to [email protected] well in advance for approval. Send as many images as you like. I will recommend which photo will work best. Use the frame of your camera’s viewfinder as your compositional space, making sure the face of the subject fills the entire frame of the viewfinder. The size of the image should be from the top of the head to the bottom of the neck, and from ear to ear for the width. Please do not take a photo from a distance and enlarge it to fit (detail would be sacrificed). Please get as many values on the face from dark to light as possible. Very little extra space should be visible in the photo around the face. We are looking for just the face. Check esteritaaustin.com for reference examples.

SARAH BOND - PennsylvaniaComing Full Circle, Full Day WorkshopThursday, September 12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This class is an exploration of the circle, a classic quilt form. I’ll be presenting three kinds of circles to you for your quilting pleasure. The first is String Fan Circle, paper pieced from multiple strips of fabric. The second is a Swirly Circle, which involves curved piecing (don’t be scared!). The third is a Checkerboard Circle, paper pieced from constructed strip sets. All of these circles can be combined into one quilt or used separately. I’ll provide a square shoulder and a hexagonal shoulder to use in designing the set for your quilt. I’ve made a few samples to show you ways in which you can put these elements together in your own quilt. Bring your creative spirit and be ready to share! I will provide patterns and instructions. This class is appropriate for confident quilters at an advanced beginner or higher skill level. The quilt involves basic paper
piecing and curved piecing. Prior experience with these techniques is helpful, but not required. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Basic sewing supplies including pins and scissors. This is a workshop/design class, so there are no specific yardage recommendations for fabric. However, here are some guidelines for the various kinds of cirlces. String Circles: The samples I’ve been working on include a wide variety of fabrics. Two strips of fabric 1¾ inches wide times the width-of-fabric is all that is needed to construct a quarter circle. Two fat quarters will make six quarter circles if the strips are cut a little narrower, at 1½ inches wide. Swirly Circles: These should employ fabrics with high contrast. Two width-of-fabric quarter yards should be enough to make multiple circles. Checkerboard Circles: ½ yard of each of two contrasting fabrics should be sufficient to make two circles. Bring lots of fabric so you can achieve the variety you want. And remember, you can always buy more!Sewing machine required.WS #004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Flightpaths & Cobblestones: A New Twist on the Pickle Dish, Full Day WorkshopFriday, September 13, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This simple paper piecing technique is great for creating those perfect curves and points every time. This quilt is a variation on the traditional Pickle Dish design and uses repetition of Flying Geese and checkerboards to create an intersecting design of geese and connected four-patches. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple Pickle Dish block and I’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll focus on checkerboards and Flying Geese but we’ll also cover points. You can make the example quilt or experiment with the pattern to create your own design. After you make a few curved pieces of your choice, we’ll practice those large and small curved seams you’ll need to put together your blocks. At the end of the class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you. This is a workshop style class designed for advanced beginners and beyond. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Patterns and instructions will be provided. Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Basic sewing supplies, including rotary cutter and small mat, pins, and scissors. Pencil and paper for taking notes. Fabric: The amount of fabric you need will depend on how you want to design your quilt. If you have fat quarters and large scraps, these are great for the arcs if you’re going for a scrappy look. For a more unified look, think 3 to 4 yards for background on a large quilt. For the pictured quilt, 1½ to 2 yards for the arcs and the intersections. If you like them, batiks and solids are great because there is no wrong side – a plus if you are new to paper piecing and you sew a piece on backwards!Sewing machine required.WS #005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Woven Star, Full Day WorkshopSaturday, September 14, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM The Woven Star is a fun and funky pattern with lots of potential. The star is intricate enough to provide lots of visual interest and keep you engaged, but simple enough that you can devote yourself to finding your favorite color and pattern combinations. You can make all of your stars with the same color combinations or you can go scrappy for a wild and crazy quilt. The pattern uses two construction methods. The checkerboard centers are made by quick strip piecing. The star points are made with simple paper piecing. This is a great class for skill building and experimentation. Pattern includes a round and a square star version as well as several sizes so you can go big or go small! All levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. A rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Students should bring as much fabric as they like. This pattern is great for fat quarters if you want to go scrappy. Bring one or several fabrics to use as background. Block measures 12½ inches, and will finish at 12 inches.Sewing Machine Required.

Here’s your chance to design your own unique jacket with guidance from renowned artist Marty-O. You will learn how to select textiles and embellishments and how to design an artwear jacket that compliments your figure. Marty will demonstrate her shortcuts for sewing embellishments on plain denim, linen, or cotton jackets. This class is all about updating and transforming a jacket you have worn, or found at a thrift shop, and transform it into a unique piece of wearable art. You can be bold, take risks, make it quilterly, or design something subdued, whatever fits your personality. UFO’s are a perfect choice to include on your trash to treasure jacket. Let your inner artist be seen! All levels. Materials List: Bring to Class: One or two well-fitting denim, linen, or cotton jackets. Basic sewing supplies including pins, scissors, seam ripper, construction thread, several sheets of fusible web such as Wonder-Under. Teflon sheet. Bring 1-2 yards of multiple embellishments to coordinate with your jacket such as twill tape, trims, rickrack, fringe. If you prefer a vintage look, also bring bits of lace, doilies, unfinished quilt squares, small UFO’s, and hankies. T-shirts have wonderful images on them for the back of jackets (Marty will have T-shirts available for $15, and other embellishments for $5 - $15.) Bring vintage buttons, beads, and small found objects. A yard of beige tulle. If you like longer jackets, skirts/bustles surprisingly help disguise our imperfections and help create a defined waistline. Source material for a skirt/bustle from thrift shop children’s clothing, men’s shirts, and silk dresses. Recommended: Visit my website Marty-O.com for inspiration for your own jacket, and this will help you select the best trims and fabrics to bring to class.

Before you print your image, please send digital images to [email protected] well in advance for approval. Send as many images as you like. I will recommend which photo will work best. Use the frame of your camera’s viewfinder as your compositional space, making sure the face of the subject fills the entire frame of the viewfinder. The size of the image should be from the top of the head to the bottom of the neck, and from ear to ear for the width. Please do not take a photo from a distance and enlarge it to fit (detail would be sacrificed). Please get as many values on the face from dark to light as possible. Very little extra space should be visible in the photo around the face. We are looking for just the face. Check esteritaaustin.com for reference examples.

SARAH BOND - PennsylvaniaComing Full Circle, Full Day WorkshopThursday, September 12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This class is an exploration of the circle, a classic quilt form. I’ll be presenting three kinds of circles to you for your quilting pleasure. The first is String Fan Circle, paper pieced from multiple strips of fabric. The second is a Swirly Circle, which involves curved piecing (don’t be scared!). The third is a Checkerboard Circle, paper pieced from constructed strip sets. All of these circles can be combined into one quilt or used separately. I’ll provide a square shoulder and a hexagonal shoulder to use in designing the set for your quilt. I’ve made a few samples to show you ways in which you can put these elements together in your own quilt. Bring your creative spirit and be ready to share! I will provide patterns and instructions. This class is appropriate for confident quilters at an advanced beginner or higher skill level. The quilt involves basic paper
piecing and curved piecing. Prior experience with these techniques is helpful, but not required. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Basic sewing supplies including pins and scissors. This is a workshop/design class, so there are no specific yardage recommendations for fabric. However, here are some guidelines for the various kinds of cirlces. String Circles: The samples I’ve been working on include a wide variety of fabrics. Two strips of fabric 1¾ inches wide times the width-of-fabric is all that is needed to construct a quarter circle. Two fat quarters will make six quarter circles if the strips are cut a little narrower, at 1½ inches wide. Swirly Circles: These should employ fabrics with high contrast. Two width-of-fabric quarter yards should be enough to make multiple circles. Checkerboard Circles: ½ yard of each of two contrasting fabrics should be sufficient to make two circles. Bring lots of fabric so you can achieve the variety you want. And remember, you can always buy more!Sewing machine required.WS #004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Flightpaths & Cobblestones: A New Twist on the Pickle Dish, Full Day WorkshopFriday, September 13, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This simple paper piecing technique is great for creating those perfect curves and points every time. This quilt is a variation on the traditional Pickle Dish design and uses repetition of Flying Geese and checkerboards to create an intersecting design of geese and connected four-patches. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple Pickle Dish block and I’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll focus on checkerboards and Flying Geese but we’ll also cover points. You can make the example quilt or experiment with the pattern to create your own design. After you make a few curved pieces of your choice, we’ll practice those large and small curved seams you’ll need to put together your blocks. At the end of the class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you. This is a workshop style class designed for advanced beginners and beyond. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Patterns and instructions will be provided. Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Basic sewing supplies, including rotary cutter and small mat, pins, and scissors. Pencil and paper for taking notes. Fabric: The amount of fabric you need will depend on how you want to design your quilt. If you have fat quarters and large scraps, these are great for the arcs if you’re going for a scrappy look. For a more unified look, think 3 to 4 yards for background on a large quilt. For the pictured quilt, 1½ to 2 yards for the arcs and the intersections. If you like them, batiks and solids are great because there is no wrong side – a plus if you are new to paper piecing and you sew a piece on backwards!Sewing machine required.WS #005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Woven Star, Full Day WorkshopSaturday, September 14, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM The Woven Star is a fun and funky pattern with lots of potential. The star is intricate enough to provide lots of visual interest and keep you engaged, but simple enough that you can devote yourself to finding your favorite color and pattern combinations. You can make all of your stars with the same color combinations or you can go scrappy for a wild and crazy quilt. The pattern uses two construction methods. The checkerboard centers are made by quick strip piecing. The star points are made with simple paper piecing. This is a great class for skill building and experimentation. Pattern includes a round and a square star version as well as several sizes so you can go big or go small! All levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. A rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Students should bring as much fabric as they like. This pattern is great for fat quarters if you want to go scrappy. Bring one or several fabrics to use as background. Block measures 12½ inches, and will finish at 12 inches.Sewing Machine Required.

MARTY ORNISH - CaliforniaCreate Your Own Art-to-Wear: Upcycled Jacket Design in a Day, Full Day WorkshopFriday, September 13, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Have you ever wanted to wear a one-of-a-kind custom made art jacket and let the artist within you be seen? Here’s your chance to design your own unique jacket with guidance from renowned artist Marty-O. You will learn how to select textiles and embellishments and how to design an artwear jacket that compliments your figure. Marty will demonstrate her shortcuts for sewing embellishments on plain denim, linen, or cotton jackets. This class is all about updating and transforming a jacket you have worn, or found at a thrift shop, and transform it into a unique piece of wearable art. You can be bold, take risks, make it quilterly, or design something subdued, whatever fits your personality. UFO’s are a perfect choice to include on your trash to treasure jacket. Let your inner artist be seen! All levels. Materials List: Bring to Class: One or two well-fitting denim, linen, or cotton jackets. Basic sewing supplies including pins, scissors, seam ripper, construction thread, several sheets of fusible web such as Wonder-Under. Teflon sheet. Bring 1-2 yards of multiple embellishments to coordinate with your jacket such as twill tape, trims, rickrack, fringe. If you prefer a vintage look, also bring bits of lace, doilies, unfinished quilt squares, small UFO’s, and hankies. T-shirts have wonderful images on them for the back of jackets (Marty will have T-shirts available for $15, and other embellishments for $5 - $15.) Bring vintage buttons, beads, and small found objects. A yard of beige tulle. If you like longer jackets, skirts/bustles surprisingly help disguise our imperfections and help create a defined waistline. Source material for a skirt/bustle from thrift shop children’s clothing, men’s shirts, and silk dresses. Recommended: Visit my website Marty-O.com for inspiration for your own jacket, and this will help you select the best trims and fabrics to bring to class. Sewing machine is optional: Bring zipper foot, Teflon foot, free motion foot with machine. Class goal is to complete the design work during class and complete the sewing later. Email me for any questions regarding supply list at [email protected]. Sewing Machine Optional.

SARAH BOND - PennsylvaniaComing Full Circle, Full Day WorkshopThursday, September 12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This class is an exploration of the circle, a classic quilt form. I’ll be presenting three kinds of circles to you for your quilting pleasure. The first is String Fan Circle, paper pieced from multiple strips of fabric. The second is a Swirly Circle, which involves curved piecing (don’t be scared!). The third is a Checkerboard Circle, paper pieced from constructed strip sets. All of these circles can be combined into one quilt or used separately. I’ll provide a square shoulder and a hexagonal shoulder to use in designing the set for your quilt. I’ve made a few samples to show you ways in which you can put these elements together in your own quilt. Bring your creative spirit and be ready to share! I will provide patterns and instructions. This class is appropriate for confident quilters at an advanced beginner or higher skill level. The quilt involves basic paper
piecing and curved piecing. Prior experience with these techniques is helpful, but not required. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Basic sewing supplies including pins and scissors. This is a workshop/design class, so there are no specific yardage recommendations for fabric. However, here are some guidelines for the various kinds of cirlces. String Circles: The samples I’ve been working on include a wide variety of fabrics. Two strips of fabric 1¾ inches wide times the width-of-fabric is all that is needed to construct a quarter circle. Two fat quarters will make six quarter circles if the strips are cut a little narrower, at 1½ inches wide. Swirly Circles: These should employ fabrics with high contrast. Two width-of-fabric quarter yards should be enough to make multiple circles. Checkerboard Circles: ½ yard of each of two contrasting fabrics should be sufficient to make two circles. Bring lots of fabric so you can achieve the variety you want. And remember, you can always buy more!Sewing machine required.WS #004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Flightpaths & Cobblestones: A New Twist on the Pickle Dish, Full Day WorkshopFriday, September 13, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This simple paper piecing technique is great for creating those perfect curves and points every time. This quilt is a variation on the traditional Pickle Dish design and uses repetition of Flying Geese and checkerboards to create an intersecting design of geese and connected four-patches. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple Pickle Dish block and I’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll focus on checkerboards and Flying Geese but we’ll also cover points. You can make the example quilt or experiment with the pattern to create your own design. After you make a few curved pieces of your choice, we’ll practice those large and small curved seams you’ll need to put together your blocks. At the end of the class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you. This is a workshop style class designed for advanced beginners and beyond. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Patterns and instructions will be provided. Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Basic sewing supplies, including rotary cutter and small mat, pins, and scissors. Pencil and paper for taking notes. Fabric: The amount of fabric you need will depend on how you want to design your quilt. If you have fat quarters and large scraps, these are great for the arcs if you’re going for a scrappy look. For a more unified look, think 3 to 4 yards for background on a large quilt. For the pictured quilt, 1½ to 2 yards for the arcs and the intersections. If you like them, batiks and solids are great because there is no wrong side – a plus if you are new to paper piecing and you sew a piece on backwards!Sewing machine required.WS #005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Woven Star, Full Day WorkshopSaturday, September 14, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM The Woven Star is a fun and funky pattern with lots of potential. The star is intricate enough to provide lots of visual interest and keep you engaged, but simple enough that you can devote yourself to finding your favorite color and pattern combinations.

Create a visual memory in a fabric portrait that you will want to keep forever. We will be working with multi colors, not the actual photo colors.

For photo requirements please see supply list. All levels.Materials List: Kit fee, $35 payable to instructor, includes hand-dyed fabric that will be enough for the piece, textile paints, brushes, palette, and vinyl. Before you print your image, please send digital images to [email protected] well in advance for approval. Send as many images as you like. I will recommend which photo will work best. Use the frame of your camera’s viewfinder as your compositional space, making sure the face of the subject fills the entire frame of the viewfinder. The size of the image should be from the top of the head to the bottom of the neck, and from ear to ear for the width. Please do not take a photo from a distance and enlarge it to fit (detail would be sacrificed). Please get as many values on the face from dark to light as possible. Very little extra space should be visible in the photo around the face. We are looking for just the face. Check esteritaaustin.com for reference examples.

SARAH BOND - PennsylvaniaComing Full Circle, Full Day WorkshopThursday, September 12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This class is an exploration of the circle, a classic quilt form. I’ll be presenting three kinds of circles to you for your quilting pleasure. The first is String Fan Circle, paper pieced from multiple strips of fabric. The second is a Swirly Circle, which involves curved piecing (don’t be scared!). The third is a Checkerboard Circle, paper pieced from constructed strip sets. All of these circles can be combined into one quilt or used separately. I’ll provide a square shoulder and a hexagonal shoulder to use in designing the set for your quilt. I’ve made a few samples to show you ways in which you can put these elements together in your own quilt. Bring your creative spirit and be ready to share! I will provide patterns and instructions. This class is appropriate for confident quilters at an advanced beginner or higher skill level. The quilt involves basic paper
piecing and curved piecing. Prior experience with these techniques is helpful, but not required. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Basic sewing supplies including pins and scissors. This is a workshop/design class, so there are no specific yardage recommendations for fabric. However, here are some guidelines for the various kinds of cirlces. String Circles: The samples I’ve been working on include a wide variety of fabrics. Two strips of fabric 1¾ inches wide times the width-of-fabric is all that is needed to construct a quarter circle. Two fat quarters will make six quarter circles if the strips are cut a little narrower, at 1½ inches wide. Swirly Circles: These should employ fabrics with high contrast. Two width-of-fabric quarter yards should be enough to make multiple circles. Checkerboard Circles: ½ yard of each of two contrasting fabrics should be sufficient to make two circles. Bring lots of fabric so you can achieve the variety you want. And remember, you can always buy more!Sewing machine required.WS #004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Flightpaths & Cobblestones: A New Twist on the Pickle Dish, Full Day WorkshopFriday, September 13, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This simple paper piecing technique is great for creating those perfect curves and points every time. This quilt is a variation on the traditional Pickle Dish design and uses repetition of Flying Geese and checkerboards to create an intersecting design of geese and connected four-patches. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple Pickle Dish block and I’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll focus on checkerboards and Flying Geese but we’ll also cover points. You can make the example quilt or experiment with the pattern to create your own design. After you make a few curved pieces of your choice, we’ll practice those large and small curved seams you’ll need to put together your blocks. At the end of the class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you. This is a workshop style class designed for advanced beginners and beyond. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Patterns and instructions will be provided. Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Basic sewing supplies, including rotary cutter and small mat, pins, and scissors. Pencil and paper for taking notes. Fabric: The amount of fabric you need will depend on how you want to design your quilt. If you have fat quarters and large scraps, these are great for the arcs if you’re going for a scrappy look. For a more unified look, think 3 to 4 yards for background on a large quilt. For the pictured quilt, 1½ to 2 yards for the arcs and the intersections. If you like them, batiks and solids are great because there is no wrong side – a plus if you are new to paper piecing and you sew a piece on backwards!Sewing machine required.WS #005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Woven Star, Full Day WorkshopSaturday, September 14, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM The Woven Star is a fun and funky pattern with lots of potential. The star is intricate enough to provide lots of visual interest and keep you engaged, but simple enough that you can devote yourself to finding your favorite color and pattern combinations. You can make all of your stars with the same color combinations or you can go scrappy for a wild and crazy quilt. The pattern uses two construction methods. The checkerboard centers are made by quick strip piecing. The star points are made with simple paper piecing. This is a great class for skill building and experimentation. Pattern includes a round and a square star version as well as several sizes so you can go big or go small! All levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. A rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Students should bring as much fabric as they like. This pattern is great for fat quarters if you want to go scrappy. Bring one or several fabrics to use as background. Block measures 12½ inches, and will finish at 12 inches.Sewing Machine Required.

Create a visual memory in a fabric portrait that you will want to keep forever. We will be working with multi colors, not the actual photo colors.

For photo requirements please see supply list. All levels.Materials List: Kit fee, $35 payable to instructor, includes hand-dyed fabric that will be enough for the piece, textile paints, brushes, palette, and vinyl. Before you print your image, please send digital images to [email protected] well in advance for approval. Send as many images as you like. I will recommend which photo will work best. Use the frame of your camera’s viewfinder as your compositional space, making sure the face of the subject fills the entire frame of the viewfinder. The size of the image should be from the top of the head to the bottom of the neck, and from ear to ear for the width. Please do not take a photo from a distance and enlarge it to fit (detail would be sacrificed). Please get as many values on the face from dark to light as possible. Very little extra space should be visible in the photo around the face. We are looking for just the face. Check esteritaaustin.com for reference examples.

SARAH BOND - PennsylvaniaComing Full Circle, Full Day WorkshopThursday, September 12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This class is an exploration of the circle, a classic quilt form. I’ll be presenting three kinds of circles to you for your quilting pleasure. The first is String Fan Circle, paper pieced from multiple strips of fabric. The second is a Swirly Circle, which involves curved piecing (don’t be scared!). The third is a Checkerboard Circle, paper pieced from constructed strip sets. All of these circles can be combined into one quilt or used separately. I’ll provide a square shoulder and a hexagonal shoulder to use in designing the set for your quilt. I’ve made a few samples to show you ways in which you can put these elements together in your own quilt. Bring your creative spirit and be ready to share! I will provide patterns and instructions. This class is appropriate for confident quilters at an advanced beginner or higher skill level. The quilt involves basic paper
piecing and curved piecing. Prior experience with these techniques is helpful, but not required. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Basic sewing supplies including pins and scissors. This is a workshop/design class, so there are no specific yardage recommendations for fabric. However, here are some guidelines for the various kinds of cirlces. String Circles: The samples I’ve been working on include a wide variety of fabrics. Two strips of fabric 1¾ inches wide times the width-of-fabric is all that is needed to construct a quarter circle. Two fat quarters will make six quarter circles if the strips are cut a little narrower, at 1½ inches wide. Swirly Circles: These should employ fabrics with high contrast. Two width-of-fabric quarter yards should be enough to make multiple circles. Checkerboard Circles: ½ yard of each of two contrasting fabrics should be sufficient to make two circles. Bring lots of fabric so you can achieve the variety you want. And remember, you can always buy more!Sewing machine required.WS #004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Flightpaths & Cobblestones: A New Twist on the Pickle Dish, Full Day WorkshopFriday, September 13, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This simple paper piecing technique is great for creating those perfect curves and points every time. This quilt is a variation on the traditional Pickle Dish design and uses repetition of Flying Geese and checkerboards to create an intersecting design of geese and connected four-patches. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple Pickle Dish block and I’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll focus on checkerboards and Flying Geese but we’ll also cover points. You can make the example quilt or experiment with the pattern to create your own design. After you make a few curved pieces of your choice, we’ll practice those large and small curved seams you’ll need to put together your blocks. At the end of the class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you. This is a workshop style class designed for advanced beginners and beyond. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Patterns and instructions will be provided. Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Basic sewing supplies, including rotary cutter and small mat, pins, and scissors. Pencil and paper for taking notes. Fabric: The amount of fabric you need will depend on how you want to design your quilt. If you have fat quarters and large scraps, these are great for the arcs if you’re going for a scrappy look. For a more unified look, think 3 to 4 yards for background on a large quilt. For the pictured quilt, 1½ to 2 yards for the arcs and the intersections. If you like them, batiks and solids are great because there is no wrong side – a plus if you are new to paper piecing and you sew a piece on backwards!Sewing machine required.WS #005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Woven Star, Full Day WorkshopSaturday, September 14, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM The Woven Star is a fun and funky pattern with lots of potential. The star is intricate enough to provide lots of visual interest and keep you engaged, but simple enough that you can devote yourself to finding your favorite color and pattern combinations. You can make all of your stars with the same color combinations or you can go scrappy for a wild and crazy quilt. The pattern uses two construction methods. The checkerboard centers are made by quick strip piecing. The star points are made with simple paper piecing. This is a great class for skill building and experimentation. Pattern includes a round and a square star version as well as several sizes so you can go big or go small! All levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. A rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Students should bring as much fabric as they like. This pattern is great for fat quarters if you want to go scrappy. Bring one or several fabrics to use as background. Block measures 12½ inches, and will finish at 12 inches.Sewing Machine Required.

Before you print your image, please send digital images to [email protected] well in advance for approval. Send as many images as you like. I will recommend which photo will work best. Use the frame of your camera’s viewfinder as your compositional space, making sure the face of the subject fills the entire frame of the viewfinder. The size of the image should be from the top of the head to the bottom of the neck, and from ear to ear for the width. Please do not take a photo from a distance and enlarge it to fit (detail would be sacrificed). Please get as many values on the face from dark to light as possible. Very little extra space should be visible in the photo around the face. We are looking for just the face. Check esteritaaustin.com for reference examples.

SARAH BOND - PennsylvaniaComing Full Circle, Full Day WorkshopThursday, September 12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This class is an exploration of the circle, a classic quilt form. I’ll be presenting three kinds of circles to you for your quilting pleasure. The first is String Fan Circle, paper pieced from multiple strips of fabric. The second is a Swirly Circle, which involves curved piecing (don’t be scared!). The third is a Checkerboard Circle, paper pieced from constructed strip sets. All of these circles can be combined into one quilt or used separately. I’ll provide a square shoulder and a hexagonal shoulder to use in designing the set for your quilt. I’ve made a few samples to show you ways in which you can put these elements together in your own quilt. Bring your creative spirit and be ready to share! I will provide patterns and instructions. This class is appropriate for confident quilters at an advanced beginner or higher skill level. The quilt involves basic paper
piecing and curved piecing. Prior experience with these techniques is helpful, but not required. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Basic sewing supplies including pins and scissors. This is a workshop/design class, so there are no specific yardage recommendations for fabric. However, here are some guidelines for the various kinds of cirlces. String Circles: The samples I’ve been working on include a wide variety of fabrics. Two strips of fabric 1¾ inches wide times the width-of-fabric is all that is needed to construct a quarter circle. Two fat quarters will make six quarter circles if the strips are cut a little narrower, at 1½ inches wide. Swirly Circles: These should employ fabrics with high contrast. Two width-of-fabric quarter yards should be enough to make multiple circles. Checkerboard Circles: ½ yard of each of two contrasting fabrics should be sufficient to make two circles. Bring lots of fabric so you can achieve the variety you want. And remember, you can always buy more!Sewing machine required.WS #004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Flightpaths & Cobblestones: A New Twist on the Pickle Dish, Full Day WorkshopFriday, September 13, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM This simple paper piecing technique is great for creating those perfect curves and points every time. This quilt is a variation on the traditional Pickle Dish design and uses repetition of Flying Geese and checkerboards to create an intersecting design of geese and connected four-patches. We’ll start the class with a basic, simple Pickle Dish block and I’ll walk you through the basics of paper piecing. We’ll focus on checkerboards and Flying Geese but we’ll also cover points. You can make the example quilt or experiment with the pattern to create your own design. After you make a few curved pieces of your choice, we’ll practice those large and small curved seams you’ll need to put together your blocks. At the end of the class, we’ll experiment with placement of the blocks so you can see how the different sets and arrangements of the blocks can create the contemporary or traditional quilt that is perfect for you. This is a workshop style class designed for advanced beginners and beyond. Confident Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced levels.Materials List: Patterns and instructions will be provided. Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. Basic sewing supplies, including rotary cutter and small mat, pins, and scissors. Pencil and paper for taking notes. Fabric: The amount of fabric you need will depend on how you want to design your quilt. If you have fat quarters and large scraps, these are great for the arcs if you’re going for a scrappy look. For a more unified look, think 3 to 4 yards for background on a large quilt. For the pictured quilt, 1½ to 2 yards for the arcs and the intersections. If you like them, batiks and solids are great because there is no wrong side – a plus if you are new to paper piecing and you sew a piece on backwards!Sewing machine required.WS #005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $70.00Woven Star, Full Day WorkshopSaturday, September 14, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM The Woven Star is a fun and funky pattern with lots of potential. The star is intricate enough to provide lots of visual interest and keep you engaged, but simple enough that you can devote yourself to finding your favorite color and pattern combinations. You can make all of your stars with the same color combinations or you can go scrappy for a wild and crazy quilt. The pattern uses two construction methods. The checkerboard centers are made by quick strip piecing. The star points are made with simple paper piecing. This is a great class for skill building and experimentation. Pattern includes a round and a square star version as well as several sizes so you can go big or go small! All levels.Materials List: Bring to Class: Sewing machine in good working order. A rotary cutter and mat. 24 inch ruler. Students should bring as much fabric as they like. This pattern is great for fat quarters if you want to go scrappy. Bring one or several fabrics to use as background. Block measures 12½ inches, and will finish at 12 inches.Sewing Machine Required.

Here’s your chance to design your own unique jacket with guidance from renowned artist Marty-O. You will learn how to select textiles and embellishments and how to design an artwear jacket that compliments your figure. Marty will demonstrate her shortcuts for sewing embellishments on plain denim, linen, or cotton jackets. This class is all about updating and transforming a jacket you have worn, or found at a thrift shop, and transform it into a unique piece of wearable art. You can be bold, take risks, make it quilterly, or design something subdued, whatever fits your personality. UFO’s are a perfect choice to include on your trash to treasure jacket. Let your inner artist be seen! All levels. Materials List: Bring to Class: One or two well-fitting denim, linen, or cotton jackets. Basic sewing supplies including pins, scissors, seam ripper, construction thread, several sheets of fusible web such as Wonder-Under. Teflon sheet. Bring 1-2 yards of multiple embellishments to coordinate with your jacket such as twill tape, trims, rickrack, fringe. If you prefer a vintage look, also bring bits of lace, doilies, unfinished quilt squares, small UFO’s, and hankies. T-shirts have wonderful images on them for the back of jackets (Marty will have T-shirts available for $15, and other embellishments for $5 - $15.) Bring vintage buttons, beads, and small found objects. A yard of beige tulle. If you like longer jackets, skirts/bustles surprisingly help disguise our imperfections and help create a defined waistline. Source material for a skirt/bustle from thrift shop children’s clothing, men’s shirts, and silk dresses. Recommended: Visit my website Marty-O.com for inspiration for your own jacket, and this will help you select the best trims and fabrics to bring to class. Sewing machine is optional: Bring zipper foot, Teflon foot, free motion foot with machine. Class goal is to complete the design work during class and complete the sewing later.
