April 6, 2024 Program – Catherine Redford – Trip Around the World in Folk Art Stitches

Catherine Redford was born in England where she learnt to knit and sew as a young girl. After relocating from London to Naperville, Illinois, she learned to quilt and never looked back. She’s an award-winning quilter, an active member of her local guilds, and a popular teacher at the local and national level. Catherine is a frequent magazine contributor and has enjoyed being a guest on Quilting Arts TV. She is enjoying the resurgence of interest in handwork with an embroidery book, Butterfly Stitches, published Fall 2020, and, with two DVDs and a book on Modern Machine Quilting techniques, Catherine delights in finishing her own quilts on a domestic machine!

Join Catherine in this humorous, educational, and interactive event including a game with prizes. Catherine will take you on a whirlwind trip around the globe with the quilts she created for a solo exhibit at International Quilt Festival in Houston. Learn how she found her inspiration, the stitches she used, and the finishing techniques she employed. Leave ready to embark on your own creative journey.

June 1, 2024 Program – Marty Moon, Alternatives to binding your Quilts

We will have an in person lecture and workshop presented by Marty Moon. The lecture is “Alternatives to Binding Your Quilts”.    The finished edge of a quilt does not always need or have to be the traditional binding. Enjoy this demo/lecture on alternatives to binding your quilt.  

Marty Moon has been quilting for almost 30 years. In 1998, Marty made a quilt for a
project interpreting Japanese manhole covers. Her work is part of the 42 quilts which have been
exhibited together internationally in museums and at quilt shows. They are featured in Quilting With
Manhole Covers by Shirley MacGregor. Marty is an active member of VCQ and has held several
positions in the organization including President (2005-2008). In her spare‘ time, she runs Early Times
Workshop, teaches quilting, attends quilt shows, vends at quilt shows and other consumer shows, and
takes classes. Marty believes strongly in giving back to her community and contributes small quilted
wall art to local non-profit organizations for fundraising events. She tries to keep something going so
when the need arises she is at least partly ready.


June 1, 2024 Workshop

The workshop will be “Intertwined Table Runner/Wall Hanging”. Size is 13.5 x 39. Made entirely of half square triangles, this table runner or wall hanging is quite eye-catching as you follow the maze the design creates.
