A simulcast (live and Zoom) hybrid seminar.
When you think of beautiful things made of ribbon, what is your picture? Antique clothing from past centuries or today’s haute couture? Judith will share her path from California College of Arts and Crafts, majoring in fabric surface design and sculpture, to finding her true passion in ribbon work. She will explore the history and variety of ribbon trim in all its sumptuousness and show you how you can incorporate into your own pieces.

Linda Schmidt is an acclaimed textile artist specializing in wearable art and quilting. She will show a variety of wearables that incorporate both standard and new techniques, using many ideas and methods from her own experience. Linda will put on a fascinating trunk show that is sure to inspire us all. Her philosophy about garments is that the garment should reflect your own personality, be comfortable, be washable, truly wearable, unique, and make you feel beautiful, no matter your size or shape. This is a simulcast (live and Zoom) hybrid seminar. If you'd like to volunteer to model some of these garments, please let Judi Seip, PenWAG’s Program Chair, know! (programs@penwag.org). Otherwise, we'll just pull them off the coat rack and show them that way. www.ShortAttentionSpanQuilting.com Guest Registration:
