A Thread Runs Through It:

Sashiko Stitching As Part of My “High Fiber Diet”

 

Sashiko is the traditional Japanese technique for using stitches as reinforcing as well as creating complex and engaging patterns on fabric. Join PVQA on Zoom or in person on March 9th to see how I use Sashiko from my own technique tool box for adding pattern to empty spaces on a quilt/wall hanging or for adding my own personal touch to garments.

Wishing You Could Remember that Wonderful Vendor?
Wondering About the Speaker You Saw?​​
Trying to Remember What That Demo Technique Is Called?

 

All of the Quilt Show information will be up on the website for a while so that you can still access it!

Just go to the Quilt Show tab. We will be changing those pages in the next few weeks, but we do leave up the information about our vendors and speakers for quite a while.​​​​​​​​

Kena Tangi Dorsey

Big,Bold & Beautiful: Using African Prints in Quilts  â€‹

 

Kena Tangi Dorsey is a quilt artist, teacher, speaker, mentor, pattern designer and owner of Kena Quilt Studio.  She began sewing and quilting almost 20 years ago and has enjoyed designing and selling custom-made modern and traditional quilts ever since. 

 

She has now expanded the artistry of her business to focus on helping others revel in the joys of quilt-making.  She teaches quilting classes using the style and techniques that she’s fallen in love with while making portrait art quilts, modern quilts, and quilted bags over the years. 

 

She loves using the big, bold, rich colors that you may find in African wax print fabrics, Indonesian batiks, and  Kaffe Fassett collections, to name a few.  They’re so much fun to work with, and she wants to share that passion with you! ​

​

Sign up for Kena Dorsey's upcoming workshop now on the Workshops page.​​

​

There's still room, and time, to sign up for the March 14 techniques workshop, also on the Workshops page.​​​
