CLARK COUNTY QUILTERS
Lecture and Workshop November 2011

November 2011 – Ann Johnston www.annjohnston.net

The impetus for my work is the world around me, its shapes, patterns, colors and textures. I work toward a goal in each quilt I make, having a particular concept in mind that is sometimes specific, sometimes broad. I also usually have a task, something “new” I want to try. I use many different construction techniques, traditional and contemporary, depending on the idea of the quilt, so my quilts are often very different from each other. I may start with a rough sketch, a scale drawing, a computer printout, or a paint brush and a white piece of fabric.

Lecture November 10, 2011 TEXTURE AND RELIEF FOR QUILTERS

It's not done till it's quilted. That's Ann's problem and her fascination with quilts. She uses her own quilts going back over 30 years to show how the quilting adds pattern, texture, and most importantly dimension to a quilt top. This lecture explores the potential of both hand and machine quilting and the physical realities that accompany them.
