Lectures

Lectures

All lectures are available via Zoom and include a virtual trunk show!

All lectures are designed to appeal to a wide variety of quilters. Through a projected PowerPoint format, details of the lectures are clearly illustrated and explained. My "100 pounds" of quilts trunk show further illustrates the lecture topic and frequently provides inspiration to the viewers. The Q & A portion gives the audience a chance to clarify any questions they might have about a concept from the lecture or a trunk show quilt-related technique.

Bob Harrison and Bob's Featherweights display is also available to vend at regional lecture and workshop bookings.

Thoroughly Modern Quilting

How to quilt a modern quilt has flummoxed many a quilter. Staying true to the minimalist design aesthetic while adding the third dimension of texture is no small feat. Through a PowerPoint presentation and a trunk show of modern quilts, experience just what that third dimension of quilting adds. Watch the effects achieved using design, color, positive versus negative dimension, and textural interest.

Quilt as Desired
