Our teachers & courses will be:
Jane Kennedy
Lone Jack, MO
Jane has been sewing most of her life and started quilting in 1992. Her quilts have been shown at local, state, national, and international levels, and she has also been chosen to present single artist shows. Jane’s quilts have been featured in many prominent quilt magazines. The Quilt Camp ladies so enjoyed her Trees class last year and are very happy that she’ll be teaching again this year. Jane and her husband Jim enjoy traveling.
Jane will teach Twisted Sister’s, which will be a big hit because it looks difficult, but isn’t all that hard. Jane showed it to me in several color combinations and each one looked so different from the other. Whether you make it in bright, traditional, pastel, or folk art colors, you will enjoy the outcome. This project will keep you thinking and having fun at the same time.
Kaye Moore
Louisville, KY
Kaye has had her own business for 20 years. She spends lots of time vending at major quilt shows, attending about 15 per year. She has a great helpmate at these shows, since her husband, Bob, retired from his job and travels to them with her. Kaye has been designing and publishing her own pattern line for many years, and has lots of experience working with all types of fabrics, especially wool, cotton, and flannel. This will be Kaye’s seventh year teaching at Quilt Camp, and she always comes up with something new and fun.
Kaye is offering three projects – all in wool – for this year’s classes. The first is a handbag and checkbook cover, and the second is a Christmas wall hanging. Although she has yet to decide on her third project, you can count on it being something fun, and we’ll send the info to you in plenty of time before Quilt Camp. All projects feature Kaye’s personal designs. A kit will be provided for each project; and she’ll bring extras, too, in case anyone wants to take some home. Though a lot of students don’t often work with wool, they always find Kaye’s classes to be a big hit!
Joan Ferguson
Warrensburg, MO
Joan has a very creative mind. She’s a member of an art group of six women, including Quilt Camp teacher Jane Kennedy. Three of the six come from the Kansas City side of Missouri, while the other three come from the St. Louis side of the state. They work individually on a group project and then splice all of the pieces together into a quilt, and their quilts are awesome! Two of Joan’s quilts hang at the AQS Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky; and one was included in the 2002 AQS Art Quilt Calendar. In her spare time, Joan plays the harp, and she’s played in many symphanies and musical venues around the state. Joan’s husband, Michael Bersin, is a professor in the music department at Central Missouri University.
Joan will teach a free form, pieced quilt named Heartz, and you can let your imagination go wild! The quilt can be made in a variety of colors and sizes, and it’s flip and sew instead of paper pieced. This quilt will easily bring out your creative side. You might choose to make it in soft pastels for a baby, or bright colors for a child’s room, or special colors for a wedding gift, or in colors and a size that fits your own special personality. You get to decide how far you want to take your project, and Joan will be there to guide you along the way.
