Topic: "Make Extraordinary Scrap Quilts"

 

DH-Portrait.jpgWhat is a scrap quilt? Who can make a scrap quilt? Why would you create one? How is it done?  And most importantly, "How do you make a successful scrap quilt?"  Guest speaker Diane Harris will share her tips (and a few secrets) during this trunk show that features more than 50 of her quilts made over 30-plus years.

Diane  is a quilter who loves everything about the process and enjoys sharing it with others.  She has come to be known for her signature bright-and-scrappy aesthetic, with an emphasis on scrappy. “In my trunk shows, I talk about the things to think about when making a scrap quilt: how to tie it together using fabrics from your own stash, and how you can have a lot of fabrics with a unifying element.”

 

Diane was an editor for Quiltmaker magazine for eleven years, where she wrote patterns, product reviews and how-to articles. Her quilt designs can still be seen regularly in the pages of Quiltmaker, McCall’s Quilting and Quick Quilts.

Her trunk shows and classes are lively, inspiring entertainment.  She is sure to amuse and inspire – you may never be tempted to make an "ordinary" quilt again!

Concepts include value, contrast, color, scale, difficult prints and more plus many ideas for using these units in a variety of ways. You’ll catch a vision for how diverse fabrics can work together and become something much greater than the sum of their parts. StarQuar scrap quilts could not be more fun!!!
