  Meetings

August 23, 2008 in Montrose at the Montrose Pavilion
Beth Ferrier
“When Finishing is Highly Overrated”
 

  Why do we quilt? Are we really trying to cover the world (or at least all the beds in our world) with our quilts? Or perhaps we quilt with an entirely different goal in mind. If finishing is a lifelong goal, or a dirty word, you will enjoy this lecture which also includes a trunk show. Beth is a highly experienced quilter who has a gift for teaching. She describes her style as “rebellious traditional,” and always wants to find the easy way to do her best work. She offers fun and informative classes and seminars for beginning and experienced quilters. Her original patterns are available in quilt shops around the world.

Beth was given her first sewing kit in kindergarten, and has been putting needle to thread ever since. A quilter since 1975, it didn’t take long for her to begin designing her own patterns. A teacher by nature, it was only a matter of time before the quilting classes began.

”It’s important to me that every student come away from my class eager for the next challenge. I love what happens to a quilter’s soul when she masters a new technique.” A class with Beth is always great fun. Her web site is: www.applewoodfarmquilts.com
