| Honoring the traditions of our past and looking to the future of our Guild and the world of quiltmaking, the Austin Area Quilt Guild is “Changing Gears”. We are returning our show to the Palmer Events Center, a beautiful location in the heart of downtown Austin, next to Lady Bird Lake. In addition to the raffle quilt we are reintroducing a popular feature of past shows - the opportunity to purchase some of the members’ quilts on exhibit!
Originally developed as a need for warmth, quilting has evolved into a functional art form. We are “changing gears” including our past, demonstrating that quilting is as relevant today as ever, incorporating modern technology with tried and true familiar patterns as well as original works of art in fiber.

Create the illusion of depth on your quilt! “Discharging” is the process of removing dye from fabric. Learn to control this process to create a piece with a very three-dimensional look. Create the perfect background to make a wreath of leaves “float” above the surface of your quilt. It’s okay if you haven’t learned to dye—this is a different process altogether. Absolutely for beginners—or experts. A little bit of chemistry, a little bit of magic and a whole lot of fun! Beginner level.

Boxes, both solid and hollow, appear to float in space. This optical illusion quilt is an expansion of the familiar Tumbling Blocks pattern. If you think Tumbling Blocks requires hours of tedious hand piecing or set-in seams, try this clever variation! This quilt is completely strip-pieced and easy to assemble. Subtle in just one or two color schemes, or beautiful in a wild variety of scraps. Learn the tricks of value that make this 3-D illusion work. Easy to do and lots of fun! Intermediate level.

Colleen says "Being an artist means expressing myself??and that means revealing myself. As my work matures, I find that I am putting more and more of
myself and my life into my quilts. This lecture will show this progression,
from my first tentative steps "outside the box" to my latest series. I'll talk
about my working methods and (virtually) invite you into my studio. You
might be surprised at what shows up (and what doesn't!) on the quilt surface."
