January 11 (Zoom)—Candace Hassen
My trunk show is largely about what inspired me to make the quilts I have made, along with a couple of organizational strategies that I found useful while I was making them. I am primarily a scrap quilter. I like making both traditional and more contemporary quilts.

Infinite Opportunity: Quilts Hidden in Your Stash
As quilters, we love to collect beautiful fabrics – yet we are often unsure how to put them all together to make quilts that we love. The term “scrap quilt” may bring to mind using leftovers that don’t necessarily look good together. By contrast, while STASH quilts utilize your stash and scraps, they contain thoughtfully selected materials and look BETTER because of the variety – not tired because they were created just to use up fabrics. The lecture addresses several key design principles that make multi-fabric quilts work and includes pairs of quilts to show the impact of incorporating these considerations. Multiple examples of color combinations are provided to give ideas for selecting and using fabrics from your stash to make fabulous multi-fabric quilts.
