Quilting: An Essential Design Element
Jacquie will share her quilts in this special trunk show that focuses not only on the pieced design, but on how quilting can be used to support, enhance and complement the piecing to create a cohesive, effective composition. Jacquie will highlight walking foot quilting but the principles she shares will apply to whatever quilting method you prefer.

WALK and So Much More: Let's take this baby out and see what it can really do!
This lecture will not be available until after March 1, 2021.
With the publication of WALK 2.0, Jacquie has expanded the possibilities of what the walking foot is traditionally expected to be able to do. Explore those new design categories, see how to apply them to your quilts and learn strategies for handling and quilting large quilts with intricate, challenging and fabulous walking foot quilting.
Quilt as Desired: How Do I Know What I Desire?
The phrase "quilt as desired" can strike fear and paralysis in many quilters. Our quilt is pieced and ready to quilt, but how do we decide on the quilting design? Jacquie will share design principles, explore the role of quilting, and explain and demonstrate the process she uses to determine quilting designs for her quilts. This lecture focuses on walking foot quilting, but the principles and process apply to all types of quilting techniques.
