The Hole Story
How can an appliqué quilt have holes in it? And why? What is inside some of the holes? Is it crochet? Tatting? Lace? What kind of quilt would leave Alex Anderson of The Quilt Show with “goosebumps”, “gobsmacked” and “speechless”? Find out the whole story behind the quilt “Beauty in the Broken”, winner of the 2023 CQA/ACC Dorothy McMurdie Founders Award and Viewers Choice Award, 2023 Master Award for Traditional Artistry at the Houston Quilt Festival, and 2024 Best of Show at Road to California.

The Time of our Lives
Our stitches tell our stories; our quilts leave a legacy. The time we spend with each quilt becomes part of our journey in life, giving us moments of reflection and opportunities for expression. The theme of time has been integral in Kathy’s recent work, as she considers its relationship with the creative life.
This lecture celebrates the joy in the journey,
the quilts along the way,
the time of our lives.
