    Anna Maria Horner - Blueprint Quilting

    A presentation that goes in depth on Anna Maria's unique composition styles, and her adventurous variations on those themes.

    To many the Anna Maria brand means color & inspiration in the form of quilting, craft, sewing, needlework, books, and friendly how-to. Since 2005 her growing library of fabrics has delighted and adorned discerning makers around the globe.  She has authored three sewing books, and self publishes a continuing collection of sewing, quilting and needlework patterns.  Sharing her point of view through teaching design, stitching and patchwork has become an increasingly important part of her work.

    Read Anna's full bio here: https://www.annamariahorner.com/about


    A Pop-Up Shop will be offered at the meeting by Rhonda Reuter of Crafts and Quilting, Etc.  Anna's fabrics and kits will be available for purchase.

    Combining Anna Maria's interest in composing vignettes and

    handwork, she presents a class that covers all of the techniques necessary to create a visual feast of fabric and stitching. Multiple techniques for applique, raw and turned, by machine and by hand, are shared on top of a lesson in composition. Learn to see fabrics in a completely different way as you hunt for special elements to join as  starring roles or the supporting cast in your applique story. Projects can be framed as artwork, become a special cushion or the beginning of a larger quilt.

    This class will focus on hand applique. 

    No sewing machines necessary.

    Sherilyn Mortensen - A Trunk Full of Curves and Sew Much More!


    What could be better than a trunk full of Sea Sherilyn Sew and Sew Kind of Wonderful designs, beautifully custom quilted by Sherilyn Mortensen?


    Sherilyn Mortensen has spent the last 20 years enjoying some form of quilting. In the past 7 years her interest, skill level and passion for quilting has tremendously increased with the wonderful addition of free-motion/long-arm quilting. She took to free-motion quilting very quickly and easily. Her QUILTY pleasures and passions include free-motion quilting for herself and clients, pattern designing and teaching. She enjoys her association with Gammill as one of their talented quilt artists. After spending a few years designing patterns with her sister’s at Sew Kind of Wonderful, she decided to start her own business, Sea Sherilyn Sew but still enjoys working and collaborating with her talented sisters. Sherilyn lives in beautiful Tyler, TX. She and her husband raised their 3 children in warm and sunny Central Florida. She still has plenty of sand between her toes and the ocean is definitely her happy place! Hence the “Sea” in Sea Sherilyn Sew. She also spent time living in beautiful Colorado’s Western slope and the gorgeous Cache Valley in Utah. Life as a wife, mother, grandmother, friend and quilter brings her the greatest joy!
