Katy Clements shows a very special long Christmas stocking, one of a pair she made. Behind her is Diana Jones’ quilt made from blocks obtained in a Christmas block exchange.
Cindy Stohn is an accomplished, award-winning, long-arm quilter. She will speak about her approach to the creative process and bring a sampling of her work. Cindy has won awards at Houston International Quilt Festival, Mancuso Shows, Arizona Quilt Guild, and Road to California.
The Desert Threads’ program for March 9 is a “Quilt University” at which four accomplished quilters will show different techniques. The demos will be about English paper piecing, common paper piecing, a one-half square triangle technique, and turned edge applique with stabilizer technique. Members will be able to circulate from one demonstration to another.
