Quilting Superstars of the Past and How They Changed Quilting
Speaker: Patty Klimek
|
I am a Traditional Hand Quilter, Hand Piecer, and Hand Embroiderer who works in the San Francisco Bay Area, the home of Art and Contemporary Quilters. My goal is to remind quilters of the Joy of Handwork and I lecture and teach at quilt stores and guilds to remind us of the techniques we learned from our mothers and grandmothers along with my own versions. I am available to come to your guild for an In-Person presentation or to do a Zoom meeting to give your members a traditional perspective on quilting along with some good stories and a couple of laughs.
In the 1930's these women used their talent and the pages of the Kansas City Star to push the art of quilting down a new road. A Virtual or In-Person lecture on how they did it and where we are now. |

Workshop: JAPANESE RICE BAG - KOMEBUKURO
Date: January 10 2026 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Zoom Only
|
This simple bag has been used for centuries to carry rice from the market to the table. Anyone with basic sewing skills can learn to make one. The first half will concentrate on tracing a traditional Sashiko pattern and embellishing it with Sashiko stitching.
In the second half, we will sew together the outside of the bag, the lining, and the tabs to thread with rope handles. This can be done by hand or by machine. If you are new to Sashiko or need a brush up in your skills, Pattie will go over the stitches for you and will teach you how to trace and stitch the Sashiko pattern. This is a 6 hour class and the patterns are included. |
