Guest Speaker: Yvonne Phenicie
Lecture: This is Me and My Quilts
Yvonne Phenicie from Inspire Quilts is a quilt maker, teacher and designer. Not shy about using color, you will find that most of her quilts are bright and fun. She has been a quilt maker since 1990, when she started working at a local quilt shop. There she taught quilt classes, everything from beginning kids to paper piecing and more. She has been lucky enough to continue teaching quilt classes both in Northern and Southern California, as well as some local quilt shops, In 2017 she taught a paper piecing class at the Quilt Jamboree in Redding, California. In 2019 she became a Certified Teacher of Sew Kind of Wonderful quilt patterns and the Quick Curve Rulers.
She is a member of the Pacific Flyway Quilt Guild in Colusa and the Orland Quilt Guild in Orland, California. She has been president of the Pacific Flyway guild twice. As a part of this group she has designed and made two of their opportunity quilts, as well as being a part of their 2018 and 2019 opportunity quilts.
Yvonne lives in the Northern California town of Colusa with her husband Mike a retired Jr High and High School Music teacher. Yvonne retired in 2016 from the County Office of Education as a Special Education Transportation Assistant. When not quilting they enjoy camping and traveling in their RV, and spending as much time as they can with their five grandchildren.
Yvonne will share with us a visual trip of her 35 years of quilting, sharing some of her first projects to her more recent ones. This journey will be shown by sharing 25 – 30 quilts.
Workshop: Ombre Bargello
Is a Bargello quilt on your quilting bucket list? Are you ready to pick out 12 or more fabrics for it? Yvonne has a much simpler way, The Ombre Bargello! All you need are two fabrics, one ombre and the second a wonderful bright contrasting price. If you can cut fairly straight and sew fairly straight, then this is the class for you. This class is great for beginners and old pros. You will be making a lap size quilt from the pattern.
