LIBERALISM IN QUILTING: FREE-FORM ART QUILTS

Never one to adhere to rules, I began breaking the quilting edicts soon after I learned the basics necessary to create an original design. Problems with bindings on corners? Just leave the corners off Its fun and easy to be your own designer, and to break away from the oft tedium of repetitive block design. Gail will lead you on a journey of exploration, from the valley of tradition, along the rocky road of great ideas gone wrong, to the rainbow peaks of increased creativity in quilts

HOW DO I GET THERE FROM HERE - EVERY QUILTER'S JOURNEY
	We all have to start somewhere! This light and lively trunk show shares both triumphs and tragedies learned in the natural growth process of quiltmaking. This show includes 40 or more of Gail's spectacular quilts and wearable art. This is her favorite lecture!

SPIRAL MIGRATIONS - PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

This Powerpoint lecture and small trunk show features the latest work of Gail and friends, “Designing Women.” See how she goes about creating and stitching those seemingly impossible designs. It’s much easier than you think! This lecture tells the tale of eight women who accepted the challenge to create an original design star quilt. See the quilts, learn the process, and hear the stories of the close bond formed by the women who worked on this project.
