Lecture (Zoom): Get Your Stash Together: Organization for Quilters with Carol Wilhoit
August 11 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm PDT
As a retired physician, Carol Wilhoit enjoys bringing her technical mind to quilting. She enjoys figuring out how to make the construction process easier while producing better results. She has also refined techniques for building, organizing, and using a fabric stash that make it a joy to have and to use. She enjoys free motion quilting, quilting with the walking foot, and using metallic thread for quilting.
Carol has been teaching quilting classes for more than a dozen years. She loves sharing her knowledge with others and encouraging students as they try new projects and techniques. One of her favorite aspects of teaching is seeing students succeed at completing a challenging project. Another is seeing students have “Aha!” moments during which they see how simple changes in construction technique can help them create projects that are fun to make and look great.
Some quilters find that their fabric stash, scraps, quilting tools, and books have become a burden, as they don’t have a good approach for organization and storage of these precious resources. Knowing how to approach the task of organizing quilting supplies makes it easy to transform the dreaded stash into a collection that is a delight to use. Carol’s presentation will provide many practical ideas for making your fabric, tools, thread, books, and magazines readily accessible. Topics include how to fold and store fabric so that it’s easy to view and locate, labeling, using your computer as a tool, and many ideas for actually using your stash.
