The steps in her book are beautifully illustrated with easy to understand language to make the process easy and fun! This book demonstrates four different ways to fracture fabric. Start with the easiest method -- the Basic Fracture. Move on to the progressively more challenging options including Higher Order Fractures, Fractures at a 45° angle, and Fracturing with 60° diamonds.” Go to www.ashtonpub.com to see more

Do you stick to kits so you don’t have to make choices or plan your own fabric choices?  Well you are not alone..there are many quilters just like you who don’t know where to start.  In this jam-packed lecture, Donna will take the mystery out of picking fabrics for your next project.  She will review how to choose fabrics for quilts based on three main concepts:  value, hue, and variety of scale of print.  Each concept will be covered in great detail.  She will also present simple strategic approaches, and recipes for getting you started creating your own unique masterpieces.  Donna will have footlockers of quilts to show! She’ll also have books and patterns for sale.

The epitome of embellishment! A magpie's paradise! Sherrill presents miscellaneous minutia gathered on her 30-year journey through the world of crazy quilting. She gives an historic overview of this alternate form of quilting and its various methods of construction, from its birth as an economy measure, adding tidbits from its Victorian heyday, through the Depression, and fast-forward into the 21st Century.
Sherrill brings several 100-year old items, as well as current projects, and the fully embellished wallhangings, quilts, and other crazy-quilted items she has created in the last few years.
She’ll also have the following for sale :  Fancy fabric packs, trims, ribbon, seed beads, needles, thread, related books on crazy quilting, etc.
