Improvised Quilts by our own Deb Rowden
Deb's quilt passion is working by improvisation. She's made improvised quilts, collected them, studied them and edited books on the topic for years.
Log Cabin by Deb Rowden
There is nothing new or modern about
improvised quilts. They have been with us as long as there have been
quilts, sometimes with other labels: rogue, maverick, utilitarian or
thrift shop quilts.Deb will talk about the definition of improvisation, the quilters of Gee’s Bend, Anna Williams, Lucille Young, and more. She will also explode a few popular myths about who makes improvised quilts. We’ll examine quilts from Deb’s wacky collection, along with historic samples of improvisation.
Feel free to bring along your own improvised quilts to show and tell.
Deb works from her home in Lawrence writing and editing quilt books for the Kansas City Star and C&T Publishing. She is in her 10th year working as a freelance quilt editor. In that time, she has written 5 quilt books and edited 75.
