Saturday, June 6 - Lil Helming - “Pixelated, Not Pixillated” Quilt Trunk Show

Today our own Lil Helming will be our presenter. Lil majored in fibre arts in college studying weaving and fabric design, and interned at what was then known as the American Craft Museum in New York City. Post college, she pursued her love of fiber primarily through knitting and taught students of all ages for nearly four decades. About twelve years ago she made her first quilts, and was smitten with the craft. As a knitwear designer, relying on the pixelated methods to design colorwork, it was a natural transition to apply that method to quilting. Lil will take us through the design process, and inspire you to create your own pixelated designs during this “hands on” program.
