SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER: Ellen Carter
Small but Mighty Trunk Show
Description:
Join us for an enchanting evening with renowned miniature quilt artist Ellen Carter, who will share her exquisite collection of miniature quilts and the stories behind them. Recently featured at the Houston Quilt Festival's 50th anniversary celebration, Ellen's work alongside her sister Andrea Blackhurst showcases the stunning possibility of traditional quilt patterns reimagined in miniature form.
Ellen's current exhibition, "Red, White, and Blue Traditions in Miniature," features 50 meticulously crafted miniature quilts that demonstrate how beloved traditional patterns can be transformed into small-scale masterpieces. This collection, which was previously showcased at Festival's 40th anniversary Ruby Jubilee Celebration in 2014 and the 45th Sapphire Celebration in 2019, represents the pinnacle of miniature quilting artistry.
During her presentation, Ellen will discuss her quilting journey, share her techniques for achieving precision in miniature work, and reveal the special challenges and joys of working in a smaller scale. You'll be amazed at how these diminutive quilts capture all the beauty and complexity of their full-sized inspirations while creating their own unique charm.
Don't miss this opportunity to see these remarkable miniature quilts up close and learn from one of the most accomplished artists in this specialized field. Join us Monday evening for what promises to be an inspiring and educational presentation that will change the way you think about quilting possibilities.
