Lecture
October Lecture - Julia Graves - My Quilting Journey and Trunk Show. Julia Graves offers a peek into her quilting journey and trunk show. She will be teaching a full-day abstract design workshop for us Nov. 12, and we have a handful of slots available. The owner of Special Occasion Quilts at soquilts.com was an Artist in Residence at Empty Spools Seminars in Pacific Grove, CA, in 2019. She’s a long-arm quilter. On the piecing side, she works in abstracts, landscapes, shimmering triangles, house blocks and dives into color theory.
See November 12th Workshop - Julia Graves - Amazing Abstracts. Only a few spaces available for members only at this time.
The lecture is free to members. Guests can join us for $10 - pay HERE.
