Lorraine Olsen
www.lorraineolsenquilts.com
Coming from a heritage of master craftswomen, I learned
sewing, quilting and needlework skills from my mother and grandmothers. I got my
first sewing machine on my 8th birthday to keep me from monopolizing my mom’s. I
made my first little quilt at nine. Mom was making a big quilt. I rescued
discarded scraps and made a little cardboard template to fit the small pieces.
Mom was proud of the little quilt I made but I was disappointed that all the
corners did not match perfectly like I knew they should.
After my third child was born, I became very ill and it was difficult for me to
sew. I discovered miniature quilts and their small scale was perfect for me. My
illness has taught me patience and perseverance. That alone with a streak of
perfectionism is the perfect combination for a miniature quilt maker.
I love vintage quilts and reproduction fabrics. In much of my work I try to
capture the look of a vintage quilt made from saved scraps of past projects and
faded old clothes only much, much smaller.
Program
My Passion for Miniature Quilts
My journey in quilting includes lots of little
quilts to pass around and suggestions in finding your own passion and
creativity.

Patti is a National as well as an International quilting
instructor now residing at Canyon Lake, Texas.
Quilting adventures all began after seeing a beautiful “Trip Around the World”
quilt her sister-in-law, Michelle, made and it has been Patti’s passion ever
since 1998, having created 100+ quilts. Colors, the brighter the better are her
love and you will see this in her favorite quilt pattern, the kaleidoscope. Over
the last 6 years, she has won 21 ribbons and awards, also has had her quilts
juried into multiple shows including the American Quilter’s Society Expo at
Nashville, the American Quilter’s Society’s first show in Lancaster, PA, the AQS
show in Paducah, Kentucky, the Mancuso Denver National, and the Mancuso’s
Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza XVII.
She has owned “End of The Rainbow Quilts” in Texas since 1998 and began teaching
professionally at that time. Since then, she has become a designer and a quilt
show judge as well as an author of a new quilting book. She continues to do

Workshop
Floral Kaleidoscopes
August 24 - Friday
9:00 - 4:00
Cost: Member $30 / Non-Member $40
Patti will teach
you to design, cut out, stitch, fuse and machine appliqué this beautiful bouquet
of kaleidoscopic flowers. Every
"bloom" will be a wonderfully random explosion of color and surprise! You will also see many other samples
of her quilts and discuss the possibilities of using this technique for much
larger quilts if desired.
In the event that you are ready to finish your quilt, she will teach
you the layering and basting processes for quilting and help you with quilting
design choices.
Patti's ultimate goal is for all students to have fun, enjoy the process
and take home a wonderful piece of fabric art.

Barbara Olson
http://www.barbaraolsonquiltart.com
Fabric is an up close and tactile way of expressing the creative impulse. Create
an imaginary flower by using fabric like a paint brush stroke. The brush stroke
can be linier, to direct the eye, or textural, to add shading and depth. A
simple flower pattern is the first ingredient. A pleasing combination of
fabrics with directional lines and textural effects to create shading is next.
A range of lights, mediums, and darks helps add depth to the petals. A few
accent fabrics that add highlights and interest completes the design. This
flower is only the beginning. This technique can be used in all types of quilt
design.

Program
Fabric Painting with Earth Pigments
Penland School of
Crafts in North Carolina where she was awarded the Studio
Assistantship for Alicia Keshishian's class 'Chromalicious'
Heather uses natural colors found in roots, bark, leaves, fruits, twigs,
insects, flowers, mushrooms and soil to dye fiber. The process of extracting and using
colors derived of natural resources combines chemistry, artistry, botany and
alchemy.
Her presentation will intrigue and expand your knowledge on the marvelous use of
natural dyes, as well as her process of collecting, cataloging and using
“natural earth colors” in fiber projects.
