Jacquie Gering will present the lecture "Quilt as Desired...How Do I Quilt It?" Jacquie is a master quilt designer and machine quilter. She is also the author of "Walk" and "Walk 2.0", books on mastering walking foot quilting. "The phrase "quilt as desired" can strike fear and paralysis in many quilters. Our quilt is pieced and ready to quilt, but how do we decide on the quilting design? Jacquie will share design principles, explore the role of quilting, and explain and demonstrate the process she uses to determine quilting designs for her quilts. This lecture focuses on walking foot quilting, but the principles and process apply to all types of quilting techniques.
