Classes and Seminars

I'm so excited about The Word in Patchwork that I can't wait to share! I am available to teach, speak, or present a "trunk show" of my quilts for your church, women's group, guild or quilt shop.

Drop me a line if you would like to explore the possibilities.

Seminars and Lectures:

• Pieces of the Word-- A great program for an outreach evening: beautiful fabrics, striking quilts and the powerful Word of God combine in a presentation that touches hearts and changes lives. Kim uses the Bible Block samplers and other quilts to illustrate the timeless truths of scripture.
• The World in Patchwork-- Bible Block quilt trunk show illustrates the amazing way God has taken the Quilters' Neighbourhood from a small Partners in Patchwork quilt group in Squamish, BC, Canada to the world! A great introduction to your own quilt program.
• The Hope That Is In Me-- [1 Peter 3:15 ] God draws straight paths before us, sometimes with very crooked lines! There will be lots of laughter, and few tears as Kim shares her testimony, accompanied by ashow of personal quilts.
• Minding Your Patchwork"Ps": Christmas Quilts -- A clear gospel message and timely reminders for a truly "perfect" Christmas, focus onChristmas quilt projects in a unique presentation for your women's outreach during the busy holiday season.
• Jacob's Ladder -- Kim demonstrates modern patchwork techniques with the first block from The Word in Patchwork. Choose either a one-hour demonstration or a three-hour hands-on workshop. Either way, participants will be inspired and encouraged to discover how easy beautiful patchwork can be. Great start for a quilt outreach program.
• Mystery Mixer-- A fun and different activity for your next social. Each participant sews a few small seams with help from Kim. At the end of the evening, a table runner quilt top is revealed and given away as a door prize!

Classes:

• Bible Blocks-- choose one block for a pillow top in a three-hour beginners' class or make several blocks during a weekend retreat for a table runner. Kim introduces quick rotary cutting techniques and basic patchwork.
• Hope of Eternal Life-- day-long workshop completes this beautiful table runner [some advance preparation is necessary]. Groups may choose to work cooperatively to make a banner using the same elements.
• D----'s Darlings -- Just for fun! This easy mystery quilt top is designed to be completed in two days. Perfect for a quilters' retreat. Some patchwork experience is necessary.
