Violet Craft shares her “Abstractions” series of quilts and the stories behind them. She then demonstrates her method for using Foundation Paper Piecing to make her fabulous designs. Violet also shares her technique for pieced hexagons and designs with unusual shapes that are pieced the same way. And finally, TQS visits with local Sisters artist Kathy Deggendorfer to talk all things quilting going on in her life.
Alex and Ricky meet Violet Craft and view her quilts, including her "Abstractions" series.
Violet shows Alex different variations on hexagons using English Paper Piecing.
TQS visits with local Sisters artist Kathy Deggendorfer, who talks about being a poster artist for the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, her fabric she has designed for Maywood Studios, and wrapping her car in her own "Bevy of Roses" fabric line.
Alex and Ricky talk with Kathy about Craft Pour House, the tap room she owns with her husband in Beaverton, OR.
I loved Violet's Lion quilt the moment I saw it at market show many years ago, but never sadly got around to making it! While watching Today's show it reminded me how slack I have been & how regretful I have become with not learning more about Violet's wonderful wealth of knowledge and skill! Actually, I think Violet's show was is pretty fantastic and I need to learn more about her and her work whilst still in lock down at home.
Love the Susters pattern. I have stayed at The 5 Pines Lodge on one of my visits to Sisters. Beautiful!
Violet’s patterns are wonderful. Very exacting and detailed. She does a great job.
