The Evolution of a Quiltmaker Lecture
The slide lecture is titled "The Evolution of a Quiltmaker", which includes slides of quilts that I have made from the first pathetic attempt to my most recent prize winning quilts. For the quilts that have won awards, I show slides of the design inspirations (such as the lamppost in front of the St. Louis Art Museum, mosaic floor tiles from St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, a l5th century Italian manuscript, pages out of library books, and embroidery motifs).
A vital part of the slide presentation includes the comments and critiques, both positive and negative, that I have received from contest judges for the award winning quilts. It is often encouraging for other quilters to hear that a quilt can win a top prize in a competition and still receive negative comments! Viewers can look at the slides of the quilts and decide if they agree with the positive and negative comments made by the judges.
