Suzi Parron  Description

Barn Quilt Beginnings

The American barn quilt trail movement started with a simple promise. Wishing to honor her mother by painting a quilt on the side of her barn, Donna Sue Groves organized her rural Ohio community to create not one, but 20 colorful barn quilt blocks in 2001. The trail of barn quilts brought her neighbors together, increased tourism, and developed pride in a new form of public art. Author Suzi Parron first documented Donna Sue's story in Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement. The lengthening thread of this uniquely American art phenomenon motivated Suzi to take to the road for a second time. Her result is Following the Barn Quilt Trail, where she tells the story of traveling the country to collect stories of families, quilts, and rural creativity.

Lisa Binkley teaches and exhibits her art nationwide. Her work has been featured on TV and in print and is represented in private and corporate collections. Lisa loves sharing her passion for fiber and beads through her artwork, teaching and writing.

Dyeing with plant pigments and other natural materials (insects, lichen, etc.) has been practiced and refined for thousands of years—for as long as humans have made cloth and wished to beautify it. Printing with plants has been practiced for generations through such traditions as Easter egg decoration and, in the past few decades, as a way to create pattern and imagery on fabric.

HEY, QUILTERS!

My enthusiasm for quilting is said to be contagious! In classes, I work toward keeping an upbeat setting, providing well-written instructions, and attending to each student with personalized coaching. My quilts have received many awards in international competitions since 1997 where judges comment on fine workmanship and original style. With unique designs I'm thrilled to include charming, unexpected elements such as specialty threads, prairie points, piping, and great binding techniques. I invented the Groovin’ Piping Trimming Tool which is used to trim piping seam allowances and the Prairie Pointer pressing tool. In 2010 I was delighted to be named Minnesota Quilter of the Year! 

I live on 70 acres in southeastern Minnesota with my hubby. Both of our incredibly smart, talented children, have graduated from college and are gainfully employed. Yeah!

Thanks for visiting!

Quilt on! – Susan

These Dresdens are built on a foundation so background fabrics don’t show through and, more importantly, Dresdens turn out perfectly flat. Learn Susan’s tips for speedily turning wedge points with the Prairie Pointer Tool. At home you may finish the quilt by quilting the background then ditch stitching Dresdens onto the quilted quilt! Design possibilities are endless!

Pam Dinndorf       aardvarkquilts.com

​

I have been obsessed with the magic of color as far back as I can remember.  My career path has followed that carrot through several avenues:  fashion, interior design, and now with award-winning quilt and fabric design.

I have detailed my unique approach to fabric and color selection in the book, Colorific, from C&T Publications.  My designs have also been featured in Quiltmania, Simply Moderne, Modern Patchwork, Quilt Retailer, Kaffe Fassett’s Quilt Romance, and many other quilt publications.

I enjoy teaching and lecturing across the country on a mission to obliterate the anxiety many experience when presented with the opportunity to choose their own colorful fabrics.  No one should miss out on the satisfaction experienced when the colors sing!

Pam Goecke Dinndorf has consistently caught my attention through the years with her quite brilliant use of color and form.  It is often the proportion of the colors as they are combined that makes them optimally radiant.  Pam has a way of creating simple structures that allow the colors to positively glow.  The color schemes she chooses almost always have a sophistication as well as down home earthiness that rarely fails to inspire me. -Kaffe Fassett

I am a quilter who lives in paradise (Florida)!! 

I've been sewing for a long time—starting out with traditional quilts. Now I've been doing the art quilt thing and loving it.  I love everything fiber! All of our designs are original works of art. I love to share my knowledge and experience. 

Cynthia grew up under a quilt being quilted, listening and learning from her mother and aunts all about quilting.  Traditional quilts were all she knew although there was a desire to learn more.  Moving from Missouri to Florida changed her style of quilting as she experienced quilters from around the world. Her knowledge of quilting grew by joining the local Quilt Guild in Florida and again listening and learning. Art Quilting, Fabric Dyeing, Quilt Designing and Embellishing quilts were quite an eyeopener and changed her approach to quilting.  

She is happy to share all that she has learned along the way in hope to spark new ideas to her fellow quilters.
