Christine Fries-Ureel: This lecture shows slides of my work from the first quilts to the latest pictorial quilts. My art quilts emphasize thread-painting, color, and "a sense of wonder”. I explain how I first entered the quilting world, how I came up with the techniques I use, how I choose the subjects of my art quilts, the use of color, how mistakes can become part of a design, and more. The actual quilts will be shown: there will be a question-and-answer period.
