Pam is a practicing fibre artist involved in regional and international exhibiting, commissioned art and jurying. She is internationally known as a freelance teacher and lecturer in art education and fibre art and has been active on the Embroiders' Guild of America and Canada.

In this workshop we will design original quilts to be used as either permanent or temporary banners in a church setting. Ideas to inspire original quilts and approaches to designing will be covered. The participants will experience a process leading to a finished design ready to be interpreted in fabric.

In this class students choose a quilt block, embroidery or luscious piece of fabric as the focal point of their quilt. Working from the same plan, but choosing their own focal point and fabrics, each quilt created will be unique. This is created around a 12 inch block of the student's choice using a fun approach to create a unique quilt.

Jean has been quilting since 1976 and has taken courses from most of the well known international quilters. She has received many awards and invitations to exhibit. Jean is one of the founding members of CQA/ACC and has taught extensively.

This attractive design uses colour gradations assembled in a diagonal set. This provides the opportunity to learn techniques to make this type of assembly run smoothly. Rotary cutting and speed piecing skills are used to complete construction steps in one day.

This is an exploration of more complex Seminole patchwork designs employing more than one set, medallion type designs and if time permits graphed designs.

Carol is a full time writer and artist who has lived in the Yukon for 23 years. She apprenticed for 10 years with traditional quiltmakers, and has studied with many famous international quiltmakers. Two themes are prevalent in her art- the influence of the landscape in our lives and our place in the natural world.

You will use liquid paints and real leaves to create yardage from solid coloured fabrics. You will be amazed at the variations produced by different creative efforts. You will use some of this fabric to compose an original miniature design enhanced with collage and embellishments and computer text.

This one day class will prepare you to see something useful and inspiring in every piece of visual art. It involves a visit to an art gallery or the NJS to view some art. You will be armed with a camera, notebook, sketchbook and some surprising visual "tools" that will awaken and excite your creative spirit.
