DESCRIPTION:Our September Program will feature Jennifer’s quilting journ
 ey and a review of her quilts. \nJennifer shares her inspirations for quil
 ting and sewing: \nI made my first quilt when I was a senior in high schoo
 l.  Before that\, I had been making my own clothes since 6th grade.  I sta
 rted out sewing with my mother and seeing how she used patterns when sewin
 g clothing.  I began designing my own clothes and altering existing patter
 ns when I was in 6th grade.  My mother would help me sew out my creations.
   By 11th grade\, I was making my prom dresses from my own designs and dra
 wing my own patterns.  I made cheerleading camp uniforms and song leader p
 inafores for my cheer teams.  We didn’t want to ask one of the moms to m
 ake them all and I had ideas for the original designs I wanted.  When I wa
 s a senior in high school\, I got a job in the fabric department at TG&Y\,
  and that is where I found my first quilt pattern.   \nBoth of my grandmot
 hers were very good seamstresses also and both quilted.  My whole life I w
 as surrounded by quilts.  Even the blanket I took to preschool for naps wa
 s a quilt that had been made for my mom when she was a child.  I learned a
  lot from both of my Grandmothers.  They each had fabric around that I was
  free to create with.  I learned to sew on a treadle machine at one grandm
 other’s house\, and learned a lot of hand sewing techniques\, and how to
  make draperies from the other grandmother. \nI have an AA in both Fashion
  Merchandising and Home Economics from Fullerton College\, which at the ti
 me the Fashion Merchandising program was equivalent to the Fashion Institu
 te in Los Angeles.  The course requirements included designing\, pattern d
 rafting\, and draping as well as construction.  I have a BS in Home Econom
 ics with my emphasis in Fashion Merchandising.  I have drafted patterns an
 d sewn for a designer\, but never had the financial backing to start my ow
 n label but I have always continued to sew for myself and my family.   \nW
 hen my brother and his wife started having children\, I made each child a 
 flannel rag quilt\, and I think that is when I caught the bug.  I started 
 making flannel rag quilts for Halloween and Christmas with designs I made 
 up for my daughter and me. \nI designed and made several figure skating dr
 esses for my daughter\, a huge t-shirt like quilt\, but out of my daughter
 ’s sweatshirts from eleven years of skating competitions.  I did not lay
 er or quilt it because the sweatshirt fabric was heavy enough. \nNot too l
 ong after that\, I started enjoying going to quilt shows and the Quilt\, C
 raft\, and Sewing show every year.  I would get inspired\, and start purch
 asing patterns\, and fabrics.  Since I have been retired (almost 8 Years) 
 quilting keeps me out of trouble.  I love having projects to do.  I want t
 o feel purposeful. My closet is full\, so making clothes for myself isn’
 t necessary\, so I sew quilts.  I don’t stick to one style\, I love lear
 ning new techniques.  My quilts don’t really look like they belong to a 
 collection\, they are more individual\, and what I wanted to make or learn
  at a time or I just thought was cute.  I have over 20 project boxes full 
 of fabric and the patterns for future quilts\, two Judy Neimeyer kits\, tw
 o more of her patterns and some fabric to go with them\, at least five pro
 jects in process\, and lots more ideas in my head.  I keep buying fabric b
 ecause I believe I have to live long enough to finish everything.  \nBe su
 re to see Jennifer’s quilt display at the BBQ Quilt Show on September 25
  and 26\, 2026.

DESCRIPTION:Joe Cunningham has been a professional quilt artist since 1979
 . He began making quilts in his hometown of Flint\, Michigan\; eventually 
 moving to San Francisco where he lives with his wife\, Carol LeMaitre\, ab
 ove her Pilates studio\, and maintains a gallery/ studio to make and show 
 his quilts. Joe travels the world to show quilts and teach\, as well as te
 aching his popular online classes from his studio. He has written ten quil
 tmaking books\, and his quilts are in the permanent collections of several
  museums. \nHere’s how Joe describes “Post Modern Quiltmaking\,” the
  lecture he’ll be giving at BBQ: \nWe all know what “Modern” quilt m
 aking is. Sort of. Now that Modern Quilts have been around for a while the
  world is starting to move on\, or maybe it’s just me. In this lecture I
 ’ll talk about Modern Quilts and how they have influenced the wider quil
 t world\, and explain how I have come to find my own style of “Post” M
 odern quiltmaking. With lots of examples and time for questions\, this is 
 a crowd favorite. \nFor more info about Joe and his quilts\, please visit 
 his website at joecunninghamquilts.com .

DESCRIPTION:This class is for someone who has done some FPP\, especially i
 f some part of the process is frustrating to you. I really want to invite 
 anyone that has tried FPP and given up on it. You are missing so much! \nW
 e will discuss everything from what constitutes a quality pattern to why t
 he size of the pieces is not what defines the difficulty (and what does). 
 I will give you ideas on how to organize your fabrics and how best to cut 
 pieces to minimize frustration from too small pieces. We will also look at
  what “paper” is best to sew on and you will get to try 3 different ki
 nds. \nYou will be making at least 3 blocks designed especially to demonst
 rate and practice the ideas discussed. \nOct. 19th is the registration dea
 dline for this class\, and is also the last day to receive a refund for ca
 ncellation. \nSupply List \n\nSewing Machine – Set up with a #70 needle 
 and a Straight Stitch Foot. (I prefer a clear plastic foot)\nThread – Th
 e “best” choice is 80 wt Deco Bob. If you are just starting out\, buy 
 a mini cone in a light shade of your favorite neutral. If you have 100’s
  of spools of thread \, like I do\, you can use other fine threads. I woul
 d not recommend anything heavier than Aurifil 50 wt.\n“Add a Quarter” 
 and “Add an Eighth” rulers. For this class you need the 6 inch ones. T
 he ones labeled “Plus” are not more useful.\nSmall and large (45mm) ro
 tary cutters\, small cutting mat\, small rotary cutting rulers (nothing la
 rger than 6in x 12 in}.\nSmall Scissors or thread snips.\nSmall ironing bo
 ard and small iron. The classroom will have irons.\nA rectangle of heavy/c
 risp plastic for folding back pattern sections. Mine is 3.5 inches by 7 in
 ches for no particular reason. You can also just use the heaviest advertis
 ing/political postcard that shows up in your mailbox.\nGlue stick -I was o
 nce told that the UHU brand is the best for fabric to paper gluing.\nPins 
 – You won’t need more than a half dozen. My preferred pins right now a
 re Clover Patch work pins with the blue and yellow heads. They have the ri
 ght balance of thinness and length.\nClover MINI clips. I have some to giv
 e out if you don’t already own any.\nAcorn Precision Piecing Pen – You
  can buy the Essentials pack or the Starter kit and get their Easy Press f
 abric treatment\, but you can fill the pen with other liquids such as Best
  Press\, Magic Starch or even water…but you really need the pen!\nBallpo
 int awl/stiletto\nPaper and pen to take notes.\n\nOptional Supplies: \n\nL
 ight box with translucent mat\nRoxanne’s or other glue\nTailor’s clapp
 er\nSeam ironing bar

  room\, or relaxing at home.   \nKadee’s use of template stamps makes th
 e preparation process simpler and more accurate. With her design “Lollip
 ops\,”\, she was one of two Boise Basin Quilters Guild members honored w
 ith an award in the 2025-2026 Amethyst Hoffman Challenge: https://www.theh
 offmanchallenge.com/award-recipients \nKadee is a native Idahoan and works
  as a civil engineer by day and a quilter by night.  Her designs have been
  published multiple times in American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. She
  has a small\, home-based business for template stamps created with 3D pri
 nting technology. \nYou can follow Kadee on Facebook at Kalico Palace Quil

  March 13\, 2027\, at Boise Rigging Supply\, 6750 W. Victory Rd.\, Boise\n
 15 tickets should be set to open for sale on January 13th\, 2027. The dead
 line to register (and to receive a refund for cancellations) will be March
  12th. \nClass Description:\nWant to learn how to create this interesting 
 effect that makes your fabric appear to vibrate?  If you like surprises\, 
 this is a class for you.  We’ll make a wall hanging that will amaze all 
 of us.  Plan on getting most of the top put together during our class time
 .  Just be forewarned:  you won’t be able to stop with just one.  \nSupp
 lies: \n·         Sewing machine\n·         Mat\, new blade and ruler\n
 ·         Pins\, scissors\, seam ripper\n·         Thread \nFabrics: \nY
 ou will want a fabric with large strong motifs.  Florals\, Asian and Hawai
 ian prints are great.  Kaffe Fassett fabrics would probably work well too.
   The Frond big flowers (22×24) are also really fun. Choose a fabric with
  a repeat of at least 18-24″.  The more colors in the background\, the m
 ore interesting your piece will be.  Movement in the background is good to
 o–marbles\, swirls\, or shadows.  Avoid fabrics with people or straight 
 vertical or horizontal elements.  Batiks are not appropriate either becaus
 e they are hand printed and the repeats are not always evenly spaced.  \nP
 urchase at least 4 repeats of the fabric–5 to be safe.  (Did you hear th
 e “voice of experience”?)  We will use only one long side of the fabri
 c\, so you’ll have half of your fabric left to share with a friend or us
 e in a border or on the back of your wall hanging.  Bring coordinating bor
 der fabrics too if you’d like so we can audition your choices.  If you h
 ave any questions about your fabric choices\, please call or email Dianne 
 Kane (whose contact info is in the directory).

DESCRIPTION:English Paper Piecing or Foundation Paper Piecing? What’s th
 e difference? What are the pros and cons of each technique? Which techniqu
 e is your favorite? \nWe will try to answer these questions as Tina shares
  dozens of quilts. One quilt from each technique will battle head-to-head 
 and you will vote for your favorites in each round. At the end\, we will t
 ally up the votes and declare a winner! \nTina Craig enrolled in a beginne
 r sampler quilt class at a Connecticut quilt shop in 1990 and was instantl
 y hooked. Before that first Christmas wall hanging was completed\, she alr
 eady had several other projects started! She encourages her students to tr
 y new techniques\, as those new skills can open up a world of possibilitie
 s. Her favorite classes to teach are English Paper Piecing and Domestic Ma
 chine Quilting. Tina was featured in Quiltfolk magazine issue 25\, Rhode I
 sland. Watch her demos on TheQuiltShow.com episode 3705 and listen to her 
 conversation with Brandy Maslowski on the Quilter on Fire podcast episode 
 259. When not in her sewing room\, she and her husband enjoy bird watching
  and traveling to visit their children and grandsons.  Tina’s website is

 es of fabric and tools needed and her collage technique using glue. Whethe

  fabric. \nWe will also learn more about Janes creative journey—from her
  early fish quilts to evolving themes and her latest collage pieces. \nJan
 e Haworth is a self-taught quilter who draws inspiration from photos\, her
  love of color and pattern and the natural world. Her vibrant quilts are a
 pproachable for beginners\, with techniques that are both relaxing and add
 ictive and have been exhibited in shows across the U.S.\, reflecting her s
 torytelling through fabric. Jane teaches nationally and internationally in
 cluding IQF Houston and Empty Spools Seminars. She has appeared on Quiltin
 g Arts TV and The Quilt Show (May 2025). Her book\, Capture Your Own Life 
 with Collage Quilting (Landauer Publishing)\, was released in Fall 2023.

SUMMARY:Curve Confidence Schoolhouse by Roberta Parsons 04/17/27

CATEGORIES:arts,education
DESCRIPTION:Quiltmaker\, pattern designer\, and barn quilt painter Roberta
  Parsons grew up on a multi-generational rural egg-ranch with three older 
 brothers\, a rugmaking/quilt teacher mother and a model airplane builder/p
 ilot father. Their unspoken family philosophy was that creativity was a gi
 ven! Roberta retired from the corporate world in 2019 after a long career 
 in the retail catalog production\, magazine and printing industry. She now
  happily resides in Payette\, Idaho. \nRoberta says\, “This workshop is 
 intended for all the people who see quilts or blocks with curves and decid
 e they can’t do it because for whatever reason\, someone once told them 
 that curves are HARD unless they plan to learn applique. Curves are not ha
 rd! They’re bias\, so they can get stretched out of whack and not behave
  if you don’t handle them tenderly. But they’re NOT HARD. \nOnce peopl
 e are comfortable with improv curves and understand the geometry of how cu
 rves work\, they can move on to the more rigid\, template-based\, seam- al
 lowance-added curves without the fear of a block that ends up lumpy and mi
 sshapen. \nProbably one of the most BASIC things that I’ll demonstrate a
 nd teach in this workshop is how I don’t pin\, glue\, clip or add seam a
 llowance (for improv) to my curves. I’ll teach you how to recognize when
  you do need to make adjustments for seam allowance or use templates and W
 HY. From that initial demonstration sequence\, we will move into exercises
  that you can complete at your own pace.” \nThe photos show a quilt made
  by Roberta (“Improv with Curves”)\, and a small table-topper made by 
 a participant during a 2-hour workshop that Roberta taught for the Treasur
 e Valley Quiltmakers. \nMore Information to Follow!
