These ladies are known for the "Wow

group of 500, or a TV audience, Judy and Katherine share their love of creating
the unusual from the traditional, injecting mirth as a mandatory ingredient in
all they do. They are just like you...they begin by threading a needle….

You've seen Kaye "strip" on her TV show, Strip Quilting and Kaye's
Quilting Friends, for over 40 seasons. Now watch her "strip" her
quilts in person. Kaye Wood, "Quit Engineer", has developed strip
quilting into more than squares and rectangles—it can be diamonds, triangles,
hexagons, and much more. You'll learn how easy and fun quilting can be with
Kaye's original techniques that assure success and inspire creativity. She
designs for both the pointed and pointless people...so there's something for
everyone today!
2 p.m. – 6 p.m.: Kaye Wood will be at the Millcreek
Sewing & Fabric booth in the Athenaeum Hotel Lobby for book signings and

the Kaye Wood Way" lecture and trunk show
Lenna Hall, $10 admission pre-sold or at the door (You'll
get a $5 coupon to use at the booth!)
Have fun fussy-cutting embroidery designs
or fabric motifs to create stars, circles, hearts, hexagons, and octagons. With
just a few changes made in traditional patterns, you can begin quilting with
those that are sometimes intimidating, but are now easy-to-do fans, braided
borders, and trees. Get lots of different ideas for that first—or next—project.
You'll leave the seminar saying "I can do that"!
