Guest Speaker: Kathy Stuart, quilt artist
Kathy provided so much inspiration today and a wonderful trunk show.  She started quilting in 2000 but has been sewing since the age of 4.  As Kathy shared her quilts, she talked about what she learned from each quilt.  She has done a wide range of quilts from pieced, applique, fiber art to whole cloth quilts.  Her machine quilting on the quilts was stunning and amazing.  Kathy has won many awards for her beautiful quilts and gave tips and pointers about what judges look for.  She loves challenges and likes to get feedback on her quilts.  Her ugly fabric challenge quilt was very unique and fun.  I especially liked the culture challenge quilt called “Hello my name is Kathy”.  Kathy’s name was written in many different languages - a very fun quilt.
