Might I suggest a new quilt adventure for your fall? I am teaching an in-depth workshop focusing on repairing and caring for quilts. Here's the scoop:
The workshop covers:
• restoration
• conservation
• preservation
• identification and dating
------
• philosophies
• supplies
• techniques
We will
start with the basic information in my book, Preserving Our Quilt Legacy, and explore the topics in more detail and with hands-on experience:
• lectures
• discussions
• "triage" sessions for students' quilts
• a library of how-to videos teaching stitches and repair processes
• specialty sessions (including how to run a quilt repair business and yoga for tired hands and shoulders)
Sewists, appraisers, and collectors - quilt lovers of all sorts - will all find useful information here.
There is a maximum of 15 students, so everyone will have time for individual attention, and we'll have several Q&A periods.
The workshop takes place on 5 Saturdays, October 16 through November 13, 3 1/4 hours per Saturday, for a total of 16 1/4 class hours plus the set of how-to videos and other useful resources.
Class sessions will be recorded and available for students who have missed a session.
Several of the lectures will be available separately for "alá carte" registration, as will private lessons and private triage sessions.
I have 40 years of education gleaned from workshops,
symposia, and reading, plus the experience of working with 400+ quilts. I will be joined for some sessions by Martha Spark, who has long and deep experience with quilt restoration also. My goal is to pass this knowledge on, and keep more quilt history alive.
