"Quilt A Week" Slide Lecture
From 1999 through 2005, Jeanne Williamson created one small quilt each week, that became a weekly record of events in her life, in the world, and in nature. This project gave her the opportunity to experiment with fabric, design, and materials. It also provided her with a time and place to be creative each week.
The Quilt A Week Slide Lecture offers a peak at this collection of 365 quilts. Jeanne shares the story of this project, discusses techniques, materials, motivation, and what she did right or wrong. The lecture is one hour long, with a question and answer period at the end, as well as samples for the audience to view up close.
Contact Jeanne for her lecture fee.

"The Small Quilt As a Journal" Workshop and Slide Lecture
From 1999 through 2005, Jeanne Williamson created one small quilt each week, that became a weekly record of events in her life, in the world, and in nature. This project gave her the opportunity to experiment with fabric, design, and materials. It also provided her with a time and place to be creative each week.
Jeanne will discuss how she has developed a set of rules for herself, including size, deadline, materials. One rule was, that as she worked each week, she could not throw out the original piece and start over. She created 365 weekly quilts, and recognizes their importance as she has grown as an artist.
Jeanne will show, and discuss, a selection of her weekly quilts, as well as other fiber constructions. The workshop will challenge participants to isolate the visual focus for textile designs by creating improvisational small whole cloth quilts. Different techniques will include collage/applique using found objects, pattern, color and embellishment - fabric painting, stamping, and crayon rubbings.
Contact Jeanne for her lecture/workshop fee.
