Fantastic crazy quilting retreat planned for April, 2011.
Sharon Boggon is a textile artist and teacher living in Canberra Australia. A life long embroiderer, Sharon is now working full time at the art of embroidery and crazy quilting. Sharon is a prolific blogger and her Stitch Dictionary website and Pin Tangle blog are indispensable resources for anyone interested in embroidery and fiber art and design. Sharon is teaching an embroidery class at the retreat.
Betty Pillsbury is an award-winning textile artist and accomplished instructor. Her work has been exhibited at the White House and the National Museum for Women in the Arts. Betty lives in the Northern Catskills of New York State and teaches from her home and travels to select venues. Betty will be teaching a class in techniques for using velvet.
Allison Aller's three-dimensional floral embellishment is a signature of her work. A quilter for 35 years, she uses traditional and contemporary techniques in her award-winning work. Allie's blog explains her process and inspiration step-by step and is a wonderful resource tool for beginners. Allie loves to play with color -- all of it -- and uses it to great success in her stunning quilts. She works and blogs from the state of Washington. Allison's class will cover techniques for textile flowers.
