Zoom Meeting: September 20, 2022

 Program Speaker:

Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis

Our Nimble Thimbles Programs Coordinator has scheduled Tammy Silvers to present a lecture and a trunk show of her quilts to our membership during our regular meeting via Zoom on the third Tuesday 9/20/22.  The meeting starts at 7:00 pm - the agenda will be sent out by our Nimble Thimbles President closer to the meeting date.

Tammy's presentation is titled Interrogating Your Quilt (description below):

Don't be nice about - force that fabric to talk to you!  Get the real info on how it can work for you to help you achieve your "quilt" vision.  This humor-laden lecture focuses on getting the most from your fabric choices and how fabric can (and does) influence the finished quilt!  Supported by plenty of quilt examples from Tammy's retinue of quilts - good and bad!

Tammy Silver has taught at a variety of quilt shops as well as online.  She designs and self-publishes her own quilt patterns under the label Tamarinis.  Under the label Tamarinis, she has had her designs regularly published in a variety of quilt magazines.  She works with some of the major fabric manufacturers designing projects to showcase and promote their fabric lines including Northcott, Free Spirit, Maywood, Dear Stella and Timeless Treasures.  She has designed fabrics for Island Batik and has a thread line with Aurifil the coordinates with her current Island Batik line.
