Spreading Knowledge

Connie Keller, local APQS rep and UNT Fiber Art professor, asked several quilters to speak to her fiber art students yesterday.

Deborah Boschert, Carol Morrissey, me, Connie Keller and Maria Hall stand in front of Carol's giant painted and quilted caterpillar.

Maria quilts for the public so she didn't have big samples to show. All of her best work goes home with her clients.



In addition to her unique collage style, Deborah talked about her book and teaching.


I talked about the different surface techniques I use and how I create images with fabric and thread. It's always scary for me to talk to a crowd but the students were interested and welcoming, and asked good questions.
