Cheryl Lynch: South of the Border
My interest in Mexican folk art began on a trip to Cabo San Lucas in 2008. There was eye candy everywhere and I found it was well suited as a basis for quilt designs, especially the Talavera tiles. Join me as I talk about my trip to Cabo and subsequent visit to Puebla, a city that is covered in tile, in search of inspiration and design ideas, how to transform a tile pattern into a quilt and the resulting quilts created from the Mexican tiles. ˇQuilt Fiesta!, a book based on this journey of creation will be coming out in Jan 2011. www.cheryllynchquilts.com

Sue Andrus: Off the Deep End Lecture & Trunk Show
This lecture and show will let you in on a little secret of mine..... I have gone off the deep end at times! Through this hour, I will show you how a "creative mind in overdrive" works. I will bring many examples of how I ended up trying one thing, which led to another, and another, etc. Did you know that making fabric bowls are the reason I began constructing my newest body of work the way I do? You never know what can happen when one tries an "innocent" new project, and who said there were "rules"?. You might think of sandwiches in a whole new way! As always, plenty of question and answer time will be allowed.
