  Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum Trunk Show featuring Red and White Quilts

  
  

  Who hasn’t been captivated by the eye-catching beauty of a red-and-white quilt?

  These stunning quilts can be a simple design of a patchwork quilt or the intricate design of a Mariner’s Compass.  Red and white quilts run the gamut of time from the early 1800s to contemporary studio art quilts.  RMQM brings you a wonderful collection of red-and-white quilts in a PowerPoint presentation as well as hands-on quilts
   for all to view and touch.

  If you own a Red & White quilt, please bring it for Show and Tell.

  Do you struggle selecting the “right” fabrics? Do you stick with kits because you hate selecting fabrics? You just might be fabric phobic!

  In this lecture, Jenny shares several examples from her own work and offers practical methods to select colors and fabrics for your next project.

  About Jenny

  

  Jenny has always been creative and had a love of color. 

  I remember organizing my box of crayons in color order. I fed that drive with books, magazines, tv shows and videos. (I call this part "vicarious crafting", because I often went long stretches not making a DARN thing, just reading about it!) I learned garment construction, embroidery and crewel, floral design and even an unsuccessful attempt at knitting.  

  

  I often combined patterns, these sleeves, that neckline, this skirt, to get just the vision I wanted. When I started quilting, it brought all theses skills together and I was happily trapped. My little sewing space in the laundry was my oasis. To be a designer, you have to blaze your own trail. Others' ideas can be an inspiration, but you have to have your own point of view.

  Quilting: A Creative Journey with Margaret Willingham of Eye of the Beholder Quilts

  
  

  Margaret will be presenting a Lecture/ Trunk Show designed to renew you and spark your creative journey.   Margaret will share her love affair with applique and reverse applique, its history, the interplay of creativity and hope and the stories behind her quilts. 

  Quilters take the scraps of their lives and make something new out of them.  They daily stir up hope within as they put together color, pattern and design.
  

  

  Learn more about Margaret

  Two things inspire me  - creating things of beauty and helping others to find their creative voice while gaining the skills to make beautiful things.   Behind me in all of this is God the ultimate creator of all beauty.  

  I grew up with a legacy of family heirlooms.  Antiques passed down with love and history that were relished and used.  Among the furniture, china and silver was the hand work of my ancestors: lovely linens and quilts hand-stitched with decorative threads to grace a table or a bed.  All expressions of the makers' love for their families and friends, and hope in the future expressed creatively.
  

  Please join us at Margaret's workshop: Shooting Stars Table runner in-person at Wooden Spools on July 15th.
