    The Magic of Fabulous Faces:

     No Sewing Machine Required

       

    Jean Impey Presents:

    What happens when two inspiring and energetic Artists, combine their love of quilting, friendship, and talents? Creativity explodes into a one-of-a-kind workshop…

     “The Magic of Fabulous Faces”

    Renowned quilters Freddy Moran (94 years old) and Jean Impey joined their creative spirits back in 2017 when they agreed to teach a Collage Retreat.   Each artist had their own unique style of portraits, and each portrait has a unique story and name.

    This workshop promises to be the most enjoyable one yet! Dive into the art of crafting expressive faces with ease and minimal materials. Then, uncover unique quilting techniques, “Pencil Quilting” and “Sketchy Quilting” to bring your design to life.

    Class Fee Non-Members: (available 10/8/25): $60.00

    Jean Impey Presents

    Twinkle:

       


    Create a Liberated Eight Point Star quilt using a variation of the nine-patch block. Learn how to place different size blocks together into one big, beautiful quilt. In this class you will learn about improv sewing, designing blocks with personality, while keeping your work squared and accurate.

    Twinkle is both easy to make and easy to make it modern with your fabric choices and color blocking.

    No two blocks are alike… different sizes, colors, fabrics, dimensions!

    This makes it personal and unique.

    Finding Your Passion and Running with It

    The spider web design made a huge impression on Jean back in 2007. She started making one and then found she couldn’t make them fast enough to keep up with all the ideas that originated from this one design.

    Jean loves sharing her spider webs with others, showing them how one thing leads to another and when you find something that clicks, you need to keep at it, maybe you call it a series?

    Jean brings slides and samples featuring over 100 quilts to show along with her Spider Web Series to demonstrate how “Passion” can take over and lead you on an amazing path.

    Cre-a-tiv-i-ty: Has Someone Stolen Yours?

    Designed to pick up where Jean's Passion lecture (our morning program) leaves off.  It includes a smaller trunk show where Jean  shares ways to “boost” your Creativity that include tools, technology and techniques, the biggest impact that is that it builds confidence in you as a quilter.
