March 7 – Kathy Menzie
Adventures in Landscape Quilting


Kathy Menzie is a quilt artist in Topeka, Kansas.  In her presentation, using mostly her own photos for scenes and designs, she will share how she uses fused fabric, raw edge quilting and thread painting to create her art quilts. Both the everyday scenes from Kansas and the more exotic scenes from her travels in the US and abroad help provide inspiration and ideas.  While most of her quilts can be described as representational, there are also some elements of folk art and whimsy in many of her designs.

Landscaping With Fabrics, Not Dirt Workshop – March 7, 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. CT

Traditional quilting involves cutting little pieces of fabric and sewing them together in a pattern.  Landscape quilting has some of the same elements.  We still use small pieces of fabric and sew them together in a pattern.  This quilting may involve glue and fusible.  Generally, it is not a repeating pattern - which is what Kathy really likes about this kind of quilting.  In this workshop, Kathy will take you through the process of making a landscape quilt by using a photo, making a pattern, and adding all the details.  For the workshop quilt, you will be making an old barn on a background.
