20 Jul August 4 Program

Update from Colleen Cassidy:

Unfortunately, we learned last week that our August speaker, Beverly McCullough, has canceled all of her in-person presentations and quilt shop visits following the death of her father. She is taking time to grieve with her family.

On short notice, we have scheduled a new presenter: Kim Jamieson-Hirst, of Chatterbox Quilts. Kim is based in Calgary, Canada, and will give a Zoom lecture for us on Tuesday, August 4th. Below is an introduction to Kim and a brief description of the lecture she will present.

Kim’s Bio

Kim Jamieson-Hirst is the owner of Chatterbox Quilts, a business dedicated to helping quilters learn and improve their skills. Kim is a YouTube influencer whose upbeat personality and easy to understand tutorials attract viewers from around the world. She enjoys sharing her knowledge through a variety of online courses as well as through her Chatterbox Quilts’ YouTube channel, and her private online membership, “The Quilter’s Way,” where members learn new techniques by creating projects.

Kim is proud to be a Janome Canada Artisan, sharing her Janome love through projects and videos. She is helped in her quilt studio by her purry assistants, Victor and Salem, who are always eager to lend a paw or two (you may have seen them in her YouTube videos!).

Kim doesn’t believe in the quilt police but does believe that quilting is more than stitching an accurate 1⁄4” seam (if it ain’t fun, it ain’t quilting 😉), that chocolate is an essential quilting tool, and that practice makes improvement…and you’re improving with each quilt you make!

Kim’s Presentation
Wrangle Your Scraps: Strategies for organizing and using your scraps

Fabric scraps: we all have them and they can sometimes overwhelm our studios. But what if those scraps were neatly sorted, easily accessible, and ready to be transformed into beautiful quilts and projects?

Kim explains how to sort, organize, and store these fabric bits and pieces so they will be well-organized and ready to be used in future projects.
