Crazy Quilts Through the Ages with Pattie Klimek
Join us for a lecture by Pattie Klimek: Crazy Quilts Through the Ages.
CRAZY QUILTS. Judith Baker Montano, the queen of the modern crazy quilt, says that a crazy quilt is a quilt that is tied, not quilted, and the seams are always embroidered. But of course it is more than that. A crazy quilt is also a snapshot of history. If you look at antique crazy quilts, you will see embroidered pictures that reflect important events of the past. What symbols reflect modern history? How are the crazy quilt techniques used by the quilters of today? Look at crazy quilts through the eyes of contemporary quilters and see how they use their own personal stamp and leave a bit of history behind for the quilters of tomorrow.
About Pattie Klimek:
Pattie has been quilting for 15 or so years. Based in San Francisco, she is the one of the few Traditional hand piecers and hand quilters in a sea of Art and Contemporary quilters located in the Bay Area. She found some like minded quilters amongst the Dorcas Hand Quilters, a group that meets once a week to hand quilt in San Francisco. She blesses these ladies everyday for teaching her these time honored skills and is now traveling around the Bay Area teaching so quilters can rediscover the joys of handwork. See more about Pattie on her website, Pattiehandquilts.net, and her weekly newsletter, Pattiehandquilts.substack.com.
