Friday, May 9, 2025 What Do You Do With Them All?

A frequently asked question gets a fun, light-hearted answer in this engaging presentation designed for both quilters and non-quilters alike. Packed with photos of quilts from Kathy's 30-year career, you'll be surprised to discover the many different reasons we make quilts!

Saturday, May 10, 2025 The Time of our Lives

Our stitches tell our stories; our quilts leave a legacy. The time we spend with each quilt becomes part of our journey in life, giving us moments of reflection and opportunities for expression. The theme of time has been integral in Kathy’s recent work, as she considers its relationship with the creative life.

This lecture celebrates the joy in the journey, the quilts along the way, the time of our lives.
