Transparency quilts are a favorite design technique, and Yvonne will talk about what inspires her to design using the technique and how to approach fabric selection when you are working with or wanting to make a transparency quilt. The talk includes tips and tricks on how to use common technology to your benefit when shopping online or in person. Even if you aren't planning to make a transparency quilt, the fabric selection tips & tricks are geared to make you more confident in your next fabric pull. For those taking part in the Wayward Transparency workshop, she will be happy to answer any fabric selection questions after the lecture.
Have the following on hand to evaluate the tips and techniques Yvonne presents to make sure you get your questions answered:
1. Cell phone / iPad (any mobile device that can take and edit photos)
2. A grouping of fabrics (prints and solids welcome!) in one colorway
3. A light source (the lecture will be in the evening, so let's learn to work with the tools you have on hand)
Yvonne is a former aerospace engineer turned modern quilter, designer, and technical editor. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Now, 25 years later, Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of bold color, specializing in transparency color play and bold, geometric designs. Yvonne’s quilts have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century. She lives on the big island of Hawaii with her husband.
