FEBRUARY 10, 2025 – JEAN IMPEY

 

What’s Coming  in February

We are SO excited to have Jean Imepy as our guest for our February 10, 2025 TBQ meeting! Below are descriptions of her lecture on Monday AM and classes she’ll be offering on Monday afternoon and Tuesday.

Lecture on Monday morning February 10:

The spider web design made a huge impression on Jean back in 2007.  She started making one and then found she couldn’t make them fast enough to keep up with all the ideas that originated from this one design.

She loves sharing her spider webs with others, showing them how one thing lead to another and when you find something that clicks,  you need to keep at it, maybe you call it a series?

Jean will bring over 100 quilts to show along with her Spider Web Series to demonstrate how “Passion” can take over and lead you on an amazing path.

This lecture includes her largest trunk show of quilts if the event is in driving distance.   When flying she adapts and brings a visual digital presentation along and includes her smaller trunk show.  

Her short digital presentation includes an actual tutorial so quilters will actually learn something while listening to her lecture on how passion can be worked with to make you more creative.

Monday, February 10 (afternoon)  “The Magic of Fabulous Faces” After guild meeting until 5:00 p.m. at Elks Lodge in Prescott Valley
Class fee $25.00 – click here for supply list 2025 1-day Faces no machines

What happens when two inspiring and energetic artists, combine their love of quilting, friendship, and talents? Creativity explodes into a one-of-a-kind workshop…

Renowned quilters Freddy Moran (94 years old) and Jean Impey joined their creative spirits back in 2017 when they agreed to teach a Collage Retreat.   Each artist has their own unique style of portraits, and each portrait has a unique story and name.

This is an IN PERSON WORKSHOP ONLY.

Freddy and  Jean have developed this workshop and both teach it independently for now.   Their process requires a glue stick and basic design principles. They both create their own faces and Jean quilts and finisesh all of her own as well as Freddy’s using her own techniques for quilting:  “Pencil Quilting” and “Sketchy Quilting.”

Jean would  dare to claim this workshop promises to be the most enjoyable one yet! Dive into the art of crafting expressive faces with ease and minimal materials. Then, uncover her unique quilting techniques to bring your design to life, from quilting to binding.

Here are a few of the Jean’s  portraits…  designed, created and quilted by Jean:

 
Tuesday, February 11 – Spider Web (full day class) 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 630 Park Ave., Prescott
Class fee $35.oo.  There is a $12.00 Kit Fee which includes your own Plexiglass Kite-Shaped Template.  Click here for supply list 2020.02 Spiderweb Supply

The Spider Web Quilt has been around for hundreds of years and there are many ways to make one.  Jean has come up with a quick and accurate method using your scraps of fabric to create a unique quilt. The great thing about the spider web block is that it can be made traditional, modern, or liberated. Learn new techniques that will improve your speed, and accuracy which will apply to all of your quilt projects. 

Bring your favorite fabrics and scraps whether it’s contemporary, modern, traditional, hand dyes, tonal, batiks, or thimbleberries – it looks best when you throw in everything…. Jean’s first Spider Web has over 280 different fabrics – not including the crazy pieced kites. It was so exciting that she has made more than a dozen more.

In her one-day class, you will have enough time to make a pillow (check out student class work below) and then if you love the process, you can continue on and make the whole quilt.  It’s fun, it’s creative, and you’ll learn techniques that you will continue to use on other quilts you make.
