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:
