Channel Your Inner Fashionista Into a Quilt
Kathryn Pellman shares how to design your own Fashionista, or a paper doll for grown-ups, with tips on what makes for a fun dress print and how to cut out the dress. She'll demonstrate how to develop the character's story by adding small details like a purse, glasses, shoes, and words, along with incorporating features such as hair, a neck, and arms with machine-drawn (free-motion) touches, that will bring the character to life.

Textile Talks: How One Donation Turned the Berkeley Art Museum into a Quilt Powerhouse - An Interview with BAMPFA Curator Elaine Yau |
|
|
|
Conducted By Teresa Duryea Wong
Presented by the Quilt Alliance: "When the prolific quilt collector Eli Leon died, he left instructions for his massive collection of 3,000 quilts and tops to be donated to the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive. His collection is like no other collection in the world – all 3,000 quilts were made by African American quilters, including the famed artist, Rosie Lee Tompkins. When the quilts eventually made their way to BAMPFA, it became Associate Curator and Academic Liaison Elaine Yau’s job to oversee the collection. Author and quilt historian Teresa Duryea Wong will interview Elaine about the collection and the inside story of how one mid-size museum became a major holder of thousands of African American quilts seemingly overnight."
