Lectures are at least
1 to 1 ½ hours long. Where projection is involved, a screen is required.
It is recommended that the area around the screen should have dim light
in order for the projection to be clear. The room does not have to be
dark. Lectures are appropriate for small to large groups.
High Tech Meets High Touch
Watch Barb demonstrate
the “magic” of designing a quilt with computer software. You don’t have
to have any computer experience to be awed by the ease of creating
designs that you probably wouldn’t draft on paper! Barb has become a
practiced expert in using EQ6. She will bring her
computer and a video projector to demonstrate how she creates quilts
that go beyond the ordinary. Barb will also bring a trunk show of quilts
she has made from designs she created with
EQ software.
Disclaimer:
Barb is not a sales
representative for Electric Quilt,
though she has written three books for The Electric Quilt Company and
demonstrates as well as teaches for them at national conferences.
Head for the Borders!
In this multi-media lecture (with PowerPoint and a trunk show of real quilts), Barb leads an exploration of the use of borders to give a quilt a finishing touch. From single to multiple border quilts, learn to respect the difference the extra effort makes. Get inspired to make an eye-catching quilt by adding a striking border ... or two or three.
Quilts My Grandmother
Didn’t
Make!
Barb has been
collecting quilts from the 30s and early 40s because there are such
wonderful stories surrounding that era in our history. And they look
good, too! This trunk show lecture (no slides, only actual quilts and
quilt tops) will show off Barb’s collection of vintage quilts, vintage
fabrics, the reproductions that came from them, and stories that may
have inspired these wonderful quilts! Let Barb know in advance an
estimate for the size of the audience, and she will provide a handout
with a quilt pattern from the 30s as well as a couple of recipes from
the era. This lecture is available only to venues within reasonable
driving distance from
