Pam Rocco Lecture-December 2021

Working in a Series

Monday, December 13 – 7pm

Pam Rocco

I’ve been a quilter for 50 years, and for the last 20, I’ve focused on working in a series, or a group of quilts related in any number of ways.  When I started, I made nothing but “britches quilts” from sturdy fabric for an entire year.  Now I make shorter series of quilts related by pattern, process, or materials.  Some series are brief explorations.  Others, I return to after a period of time, and some, it seems will never end.  Join me as I share the quilts I’ve made and what I’ve learned on a journey that, it turns out, has been its own reward.
