SUMMARY:Welcome to the World of Barn Quilts - Cindy Kerr
DESCRIPTION:Drawn first by their vibrant use of color\, she began her journey as a self-taught barn quilt creator\, learning from quilt books. She especially enjoys working with traditional quilt patterns\, finding inspiration in their history while adding her own creative touch. For the past five years\, she has been creating barn quilts that celebrate both heritage and artistic expression. One of the things she loves most about this craft is that barn quilts are meant to be viewed from a distance\, allowing for bold design choices and creativity without the  pressure of perfect precision.

SUMMARY:Zoom Workshop with Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill
DESCRIPTION:Sheri will conduct her “Walk the Talk and Quilt It!” workshop. This workshop will be limited to 10 seats! \nIn this workshop\, learn practical strategies for how to plan your own quilting design along with the nuts & bolts of walking foot quilting. The first part of this program will include a presentation and trunk show of Sheri’s award-winning quilts. She’ll describe how she decides on a quilting plan that will enhance the design of her quilt top\, rather than compete with it. From there\, she’ll review and demonstrate how she prepares for quilting and her tips and tricks for walking foot quilting. Following the demonstration\, students will practice their walking foot quilting on small quilt sandwiches. \nThis workshop also includes a group design discussion— a show & tell of one quilt top by each student and a conversation/consultation on how to quilt it with a walking foot. Students will walk away with skills\, strategies\, inspiration\, and confidence to complete their quilts using a walking foot. \n
