My Journey into Quilting
Lecture immediately followed by Meet & Greet
4:30 pm, Thursday, February 26
Joyce Hughes, an award-winning thread painting quilt artist, teacher, and author, will share her inspiring journey into the world of quilting during her lecture demonstration.
Joyce’s lecture will recount how she discovered her passion for quilting and thread painting - sharing pivotal moments and experiences that shaped her artistic journey, leading into creating art quilts with dimensional thread painting, finishing with ideas on how to use panels for art quilting. Joyce delves into the challenges she faced along the way, as well as the triumphs and milestones that marked her progression as an artist. Throughout the presentation, Joyce will provide valuable insights, techniques, and tips garnered from her years of experience, aiming to inspire fellow quilters to explore their own creativity and express themselves through the art of dimensional thread painting. Working on panels to create art quilts-many people leave very excited to try something new with their quilting. The main subject matter will be working with fabric panels, showing many “Before and After" Art Quilts. Exploring how panels will be able to be used on your personal projects. Many panels are looked at and passed over. I often hear, “What do you do with this?”, It’s so big, the colors are dull, etc., etc. But, with a little embellishing and/or dimensional thread painting on the fabric, it soon becomes a piece of art.
