Lecture: Reverse Appliqué, Revealing Beauty with Chris Kirsch.
Chris never imagined that her first quilting class in 1987 would change the direction of her life — but it did. What started as simple curiosity quickly turned into a full-blown passion. She moved from traditional quilting into designing her own pieces, eventually becoming known for her expressive art quilts. Her award-winning work has been displayed worldwide, and she has spent more than 23 years inspiring students through her teaching, both at Waukesha County Technical College and at quilt events across the country. Chris has written five books, blogs about quilting with warmth and humor, and even leads international quilting trips. She loves helping others discover the creative joy that quilting can bring.

Lecture: My Design Process from Concept to Quilt with Tina Curran
As a quilt pattern designer, I am often asked if my designs come to me fully formed. The answer, of course, is, “No.” The goal of this lecture is to demystify the design process I use by breaking it down into its elements. I'll provide many examples of the design & execution challenges I've faced and my solutions to overcome them. My hope with this lecture is to inspire other quilters to design their own quilts.
