My Journey Through the Quilt World

I will show over 50 quilts from my first quilt made 20 years ago through to the latest work including some colourful anecdotes of my travels around the world as an author, quilt teacher and quilt judge. You can hear about my time as Editor of Britain’s Patchwork & Quilting magazine and founder and director of Cabot Quilting Conferences. Lots of secrets!

Please note that if I am giving this lecture in any place which requires a flight from the UK, this lecture will be given with slides in Power Point and I will bring as many quilts as possible but mindful of baggage restrictions.

Patchwork Pavements - European Style!

Be transported to Venice, Rome and Sienna with internationally renowned quilt teacher Christine Porter from Great Britain, whose main inspiration for her quilts is taken from decorative floor tile designs from historical European buildings. Enjoy her presentation of amazing floor tiles which will make your creative juices flow.

 

  

 

 

Christine shows how she translates the designs into quilts in the original floor tile colours or how you can go wild with contemporary fabrics. Whichever way you choose to go, Christine has many quilts to inspire you, especially those taken from her new book, ‘Viva Venezia!’ which is packed full of quilts giving the illusion of three dimensions when in fact they are flat!

  
 

 

Let's Tessellate!

An expert in interlocking patterns, Christine has written a lovely book, "Tessellation Quilts" full of colourful quilts - she made over 40 quilts just for this book!

Enjoy looking at them and her resource material and see many different designs to inspire you to make your own tessellated quilts!
