• Do you have some interesting scraps left over from a quilt project to use in this piece? Is there a new quilting technique you’ve wanted to experiment with? The small scale of a table runner or table topper might be just the thing for you to practice on.

SewBatik Fabric Challenge

SewBatik is our 2013 Fabric Challenge Sponsor and the fat quarter packs sold out in record time! The rules are simple: use a recognizable amount of the challenge fabric on the front of the quilt. Quilts are to be constructed of three layers of fabric and quilted by hand, machine, or both. They can be any type of pattern, design or method of construction and the finished

quilts should measure 18" x 18". We look forward to seeing how the quiltmakers will incorporate Pansy, this fabulous batik, into their quilts. We hope that you will be inspired by their imagination and creativity.

Special Exhibits

Cindy Needham - Machine MagicCindy has been quilting now for 42 years. She was a hand quilter for

the first 25 years and begrudgingly turned to machine quilting in order to finish her increasing number of teaching samples. She admits that it was not love at first sight...she hated it. She loved the tempo of hand quilting, feeling the quilt as she stitched...watching the

transformation of fabric into a quilt and the rhythm of the needle. Her first machine quilting class did not go well; the magic trick that was going to quickly transform her into an amazing machine quilter eluded her. Not willing to let her sewing machine beat her, she practiced every night for three months. Finally, she was able to obtain a good rhythm and stitch length. Years and years later, spool after spool of thread, stitch by stitch, her patience, and perseverance have been rewarded. Recognized for her spectacular vintage linen quilts, she has created her own unique style of heirloom machine quilting. Specially curated for the 2013 PWQS, this selection of elegantly quilted pieces displays her progression as a machine quilter throughout the years.

La Conner Quilt & Textile MuseumThe Museum’s permanent collection includes quilts and textiles ranging from the 1820’s to contemporary works. This special exhibit will feature a selection of the antique quilts in their collection, as well as quilts on loan to them from collectors.

8Stitches In Time

For 2013 we will present a special quilt exhibit, Stitches Through Time, to feature a retrospective of APNQ/APWQ winning contest quilts from 1994 to 2012. This exhibit will chronicle the outstanding work that has been created in the region throughout the years. We are excited to be able to present the best of the best in one location for all to admire and enjoy.

From AwayFrom Away is a travelling exhibition of 28 works by members

of the Fibre Art Network. From Away is a Maritime expression

meaning “Not from Around Here.” As a Western Canadian group

their art reflects individual style, perspective, experience, and their

personal journeys with fibre medium. In 2012 this exhibit debuted

at the Canadian Quilters' Association Show in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The Fibre Art Network (FAN) is a cooperative of self-defined art

quilters based in Western Canada. The cooperative was first

conceived in the spring of 1997 by British Columbians Pat Crucil

and Gail Hunt and then organized later that year by Gail. The group

is committed to promoting quilting as an art form and each other

as artists. FAN members come from Western Canada - British

Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the Yukon and

the Northwest Territories. FAN membership includes emerging

fibre artists, teachers, authors, judges and award winning quilt

artists. Many have shown their work nationally and internationally

and some have won both national and international recognition for

their work. The cooperative engenders fellowship of like-minded

friends and celebrates differences as well as common interests.

Reaching the Target - Valerie Wilson

Founded in 1997, the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum is the only quilt museum in the State of Washington. Their mission is to collect, preserve and exhibit local, national and international quilts and textiles, provide an educational experience, and preserve the historic Gaches Mansion. The museum features changing quarterly exhibits that range from traditional antique bedquilts to contemporary works by emerging and established fiber artists. The Textile Enrichment Series is an educational program that includes lectures and workshops throughout the year, and the annual Quilt & Fiber Arts Festival is the largest international festival of it’s kind in the Pacific Northwest. To learn more, please visit their website at www.laconnerquilts.org.

2013 Show JudgesAPWQ’S PHILOSOPHY is to present the highest quality regional juried and judged exhibition of quilts at the Pacific West Quilt Show.

Whether entered in a Traditional or Art category, an accepted work will be one that presents strong visual impact and stands out above

the competition in its category. APWQ believes that a prize-worthy entry will combine and reflect mastery of design principles such

as balance, scale, unity and rhythm, excellent use of color, value, intensity and texture and superior workmanship in the quiltmaking

process. This philosophy will serve as the basis for the decisions of the Jurying Committee and the Show Judges.

Scott Murkin - North CarolinaScott Murkin, M.D. is a hospice physician from North Carolina. Originally from a quilting family in Illinois, he currently designs

original quilts for the bed and wall. Scott exhibits nationally and internationally and has his textile artworks in prestigious public and private collections.

Judge who has judged throughout the country, including the American Quilter’s Society, International Quilt Association, and the National Quilting Association.

Sherri Driver - ColoradoSherri Bain Driver took a quilting class to meet people after moving back to her home state of Colorado when her husband left the

Navy in 1987. She fell in love with all things quilty and has been hooked ever since. In the subsequent years, Sherri has written books, judged quilt shows, taught workshops, and presented programs to thousands of quilters. She considers her job with McCall’s Quilting/Quick Quilts as an extension of teaching. Sherri loves to design and create quilts featuring unusual fabrics and techniques. She has

been judging quilts since 1991 and in 1997 was certified as a quilt judge by the National Quilting Association.

Reva Flood Decorative Quilting With Hooped Embroidery-Fri: 9 am-12 pmReva has been sewing from a very young age. She continued with her interest in sewing by pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Apparel Design. After having discovered a love for teaching Reva began instructing sewing technique classes eighteen years ago.

Her goal for all her classes is for everyone to have a great time and learn techniques that the students can take home and use on their own projects (she is not like the Home EC teacher you remember from high school)! Her passion finds a place in all forms of sewing, and since she was

introduced to machine embroidery, found it to be even more exciting and moved her to start her own embroidery business. Reva is currently the Education Manager for Quality Sewing & Vacuum and still very much enjoys teaching something new to those who love to learn.

Evergreen Chapter The Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc Redwork Surface Embroidery ▪ Sat: 2-5 pmTeresa Frank's passion for sewing and hand embroidery started at a young age when she was introduced to surface embroidery by her mother. This passion has been nourished for many years through self-study and participation in workshops, seminars, and correspondence courses through the Embroiderers’ Guild of America (EGA), American Needlepoint Guild (ANG), Northwest Sampler Guild and National Academy of Needlearts (NAN). Teresa is also a Certified National Needlearts Judge through NAN and has judged for national as well as local needleart shows.

Nancy Behrendt's love of stitching and needlework began as a young girl. The first sweater she completed was a ski sweater for her father while in middle school. Her love of stitching was fostered by her mother and grew into many years of association with the EGA, ANG and the Northwest Sampler Guild. As her family moved around, Nancy’s membership in these guilds allowed her to participate in classes, workshops, seminars, retreats, and also foster wonderful friendships all over the country. Nancy is the past president of various EGA and ANG chapters and is current president of Evergreen Chapter EGA in Western WA. As Outreach Chair, she has also coordinated the Kissing Pillow project. This project involved giving small hand-stitched pillows to all deploying soldiers and their families at JBLM. Evergreen Chapter has given out over 24,000 Kissing Pillows in the past eight years.

What she then presents to her students is a combination of all of her experience and industry influence that has been processed through her own creative filter. The result is a creative style that is both unique and inspirational.

Whether she is teaching, creating designs with embroidery software, machine embroidering, thread painting, appliquéing, or exploring another type of machine art, she is truly addicted! Add some luscious fibers, paints and beading by machine, and she will be lost in the creative flow of a design for hours. Currently, Lana works for Quality Sewing as an Educational Consultant.
