FCQ 2024 Workshops and Quilting Events
FCQ Meeting
Lecture: Antique Quilts
Pat Yamin
What makes a quilt an antique? The piecing by hand or machine, quilt pattern, weave and color of the fabric, as well as the batting are taken into consideration when identifying the age of a quilt.

Program: June Coburn - “Boro: Making Something Out of Nothing”
Boro stitching is a Japanese textile art form that involves repairing and reworking clothing and bedding using scraps of fabric and running stitches.
The story of boro in Japan is the story of lives lived in extreme poverty, by hardworking people who had little, but still admired beauty and kept/repaired their valuable textiles—not just for years, but for lifetimes.

Denyse Schmidt – The Thread - My Creative Journey
The instinct to create is universal, but what is it that spurs some to continue on that path and forge a career from it? Join Denyse Schmidt, former graphic designer and graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, as she takes you on a richly visual (and sometimes hilarious) journey highlighting the twists and turns, the influences and inspirations, that led to her unique quilts becoming a commercial venture in 1996.
