WE WOULD WANT YOU TO COME AND

HAND-DRAWN DESIGNS.

>> HELLO, I'M DEANNA SPRINGER
LIVE AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW WITH INSIGHTS INTO
THE EVENT.
I'M JOINED BY JILL REPP.
WE'RE AT THE JUNE TAILOR BOOTH.
IT LOOKS FABULOUS.
>> WELCOME, DEANNA, TO TAILOR,
THE SEW BY NUMBER QUILT AS YOU
GO EASY SYSTEM FOR BEGINNERS
THAT WANT TO LEARN TO QUILT BUT
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME, AND
NOT NECESSARILY HAVING EVER
QUILTED BEFORE.
SO WHAT WE DO AT JUNE TAILOR IS
SUPER EASY.
WE ACTUALLY PRINT THE PATTERN
RIGHT ON THE BATTING SO THAT
INSTEAD OF HAVING THREE BIG
STEPS TO MAKE A QUILT, YOU CAN
DO IT ALL IN ONE STEP SO IT'S
QUICK AND EASY AND VERY BEGINNER
FRIENDLY.
>> AND YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE
THIS.
>> YES, SO LET'S LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS A FINISHED PROJECT THAT
WE'VE DONE.
THIS IS A PLACE MATT, -- A PLACEMAT
AND INSIDE IS THE MAGIC.
WE START OUT WITH PRINTED
BATTING, AND THAT LOOKS LIKE
THIS.
SO OUR BATTING ACTUALLY HAS THE
PATTERN PRINTED RIGHT ON IT.
WE ATTACH BACKING FABRIC WITH
GLUE OR BASTING SPRAY.
WE CUT OUT ALL OUR PIECES
ACCORDING TO WHAT THE PATTERN
TELLS US AND THEN WE STARCH
THEM.
WE SIMPLY PUT PIECE NUMBER 1 IN
THE NUMBER 1 POSITION.
IT'S LIKE PAINT BY NUMBER ONLY
THIS TIME WE'RE SEWING BY
NUMBER.
AND PIECE NUMBER 2 GOES ON THE
PLACEMENT LINE NEXT TO PIECE
NUMBER 1, RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER.
KIND OF HARD TO DO STANDING UP.
>> RIGHT.
YOU'LL DO IT ON A TABLE AT HOME.
>> AND WE'RE GOING TO SEW IN A
QUARTER INCH SEAM ALLOWANCE.
WE HAVE THAT DONE, WE'RE GOING
TO FLIP IT OPEN AND IT'S GOING
TO LAND RIGHT ON THE NEXT
PLACEMENT LINE.
SO BY NUMBER, YOU JUST TAKE THE
PIECES, FOLLOW THE NUMBERS AND
SEW IN QUARTER INCHES.
>> YOU HAVE THE BACKING ALREADY
BEHIND THE BATTING SO YOU JUST
STITCH THROUGH ALL THREE LAYERS
IN ONE STEP.
>> THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED QUILT
AS YOU GO.
LET'S LOOK AT THE BACK OF THIS
ONE.
YOU CAN SEE WITH ALL OUR PIECES
ADDED ON, THE QUILTING IS
ALREADY DONE.
AND ON THE FRONT, OUR POLLUTE BEAUTIFUL
PLACEMAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION,
WE JUST HAVE TO ADD THE CORNERS,
BIND AND WE ARE DONE.
SO DONE IN NO TIME.
>> YOU CAN MAKE QUILT BLOCKS
TOO.
THIS IS A PLACEMAT BUT --
>> WE HAVE OVER 200 PRODUCTS
THAT ARE OFFERED IN THIS QUILT
AS YOU GO OR SEW BY NUMBER
METHOD.
AND SOME OF OUR PROJECTS NEED
ZIPPERS.
WE KNOW ZIPPERS ARE A LITTLE
INTIMIDATING FOR SOME PEOPLE.
>> IT CAN BE SOMETIMES,
ESPECIALLY FOR QUILTERS.
WE QUILT MORE THAN WE INSTALL
ZIPPER NOOSE GARMENTS.
>> THIS IS A LITTLE COSMETIC BAG
WITH A LITTLE ZIPPER AT THE TOP.
WE'VE ALREADY DONE IT FOR YOU
WITH OUR REVOLUTIONARY NEW
ZIPPITY-DO-DONE PRE-SEWN ZIPPER.
SO WE SEW THE ZIPPER INTO A
CASING AND ALL YOU HAVE DO IS
TAKE YOUR QUILTED PROJECT AND
INSTALL IT ORNESS IT OR NEST IN THAT
CASING.
TO DO THAT, IT LOOKS SOMETHING
LIKE THIS.
HALF OF THIS IS ALREADY NESTED
IN THE CASING OF THE ZIPPER AND
WE SIMPLY TOP-STITCH DOWN SO
THERE'S NO ZIPPER FOOT REQUIRED.
IT'S VERY EASY AND SIMPLE.
NEST YOUR PROJECT IN HERE, AND
RUN A STRAIGHT STITCH DOWN AND
YOUR ZIPPER IS INSTALLED.
SO ANYTHING THAT HAS -- LIKE
TOTE BAGS, EVEN OUR ADORABLE
LITTLE LUNCH BOXES THAT ARE ALL
SO EASY TO MAKE, WE ALREADY SEW
THE ZIPPERS IN FOR YOU, AND THEY
COME IN SEVEN DIFFERENT COLORS
SO THERE'S ONE THAT WILL MATCH
EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE GOT IN
YOUR FABRIC STASH.
SO FROM TABLE RUNNERS TO
CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRTS, SEWING
MACHINE COVERS, TOTE BAGS.
>> WINE BAGS.
>> WINE BAGS, EVEN REUSABLE
PROJECT BAGS, WE HAVE GREAT
SOLUTIONS AT JUNE TAILOR.
AND THE BEST PART IS WHEN WE
MAKE A QUILT USING THE SEW BY
NUMBER METHOD, YOU'RE ACTUALLY
ONLY QUILTING A BLOCK AT A TIME.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE THIS BIG QUILT
UNDER YOUR MACHINE.
YOU HAVE A BLOCK.
AND WHEN THE BLOCKS ARE ALL DONE
BEING QUILTED, THEY'RE JOINED
WITH OUR NEW SASH-IN-A-DASH,
WHICH IS PRE-MADE SASHING.
SO EVERYTHING IS EASY, VERY
BEGINNER-FRIENDLY, DOESN'T TAKE
A LOT OF TIME, AND YOU HAVE A
GREAT RESULT EVERY TIME YOU
COMPLETE A PROJECT.
>> EXCELLENT, JILL.
AND I KNOW YOU DO VIDEOS
EXPLAINING YOUR TECHNIQUES TOO,
SO WHERE CAN WE FIND YOUR
VIDEOS?
>> OUR VIDEOS ARE ALL ON OUR
WEBSITE, WWW.JUNETAILOR.COM, AND
TAILOR IS SPELLED WITH AN I LIKE
A SEWING TAILOR.
WE'RE ON INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK,
PINTEREST, AND OF COURSE OUR
WEBSITE.
>> WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JILL, FOR
SHARING YOUR FUN NEW PROJECTS.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME!
>> IDEAL FOR BEGINNERS.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

GREAT WISCONSIN QUILT SHOW.

>> HELLO, I'M DEANNA SPRINGER,
LIVE AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW IN MADISON,
WISCONSIN!
WE'RE HERE WITH INSIGHTS TO THE
EVENT.
I'M JOINED BY JUDY GAUTHIER,
QUILTING INSTRUCTOR AND AUTHOR.
AND YOU SPECIALIZE IN SCRAP
QUILTS, JUDY.
>> I DO, AND I AM VERY HONORED
TO BE HERE.
EVERYONE SO LOOKS FORWARD TO
THIS SHOW EVERY YEAR.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
>> IT IS JUST A GREAT EVENT.
>> IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK.
>> IT IS.
>> IT'S A GREAT VIBE, GREAT
SHOW.
AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR QUILT AND
YOUR LECTURES YOU'RE TEACHING
THIS WEEK WEEKEND.
>> PRETTY MUCH I LIKE TO TALK
ABOUT SCRAP QUILTING.
IT IS MY FAVORITE TOPIC AND I
LOVE TO TEACH IT.
I'M AN AUTHOR FOR C&T
PUBLISHING, I'VE WRITTEN FOUR
SCRAP QUILTING BOOKS FOR THEM,
AND A FEW OTHER BOOKS, AND I
LIKE TO WORK WITH MY SCRAPS
BECAUSE I'M PRIMARILY A GARMENT
SEWER, AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU
HAVE SO MANY SCRAPS LEFT OVER,
RIGHT?
AND SO OTHER PEOPLE, LIKE ME,
ARE FACED WITH TRYING TO BE ABLE
TO USE THESE SCRAPS IN A
MEANINGFUL WAY.
AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY.
SO I TEACH THIS TOPIC, AND
ESPECIALLY COLOR SELECTION FOR
SCRAP QUILTING.
I THINK THAT A LOT OF TIMES,
IT'S NOT AS DIFFICULT TO PICK
OUT COLORS FOR A QUILT IF YOU'RE
IN A QUILT SHOP, YOU'VE GOT THE
FULL ARRAY OF COLORS TO CHOOSE
FROM, BUT IF YOU'RE USING YOUR
SCRAPS, IT'S A LITTLE TOUGHER
BECAUSE IT'S LIKE MAKING SUPPER
WITH WHAT'S LEFT IN YOUR
KITCHEN, RIGHT?
SO THAT'S WHY I LOVE TO DO SCRAP
QUILTING.
>> YOUR QUILTS ARE ALWAYS
BEAUTIFUL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU'VE BEEN NANCY'S GUEST ON
SEWING WITH NANCY.
>> I HAVE BEEN.
>> SO I USE YOUR TECHNIQUES
YOU'VE TAUGHT ON SEWING WITH
NANCY ABOUT SORTING YOUR SCRAPS.
>> RIGHT.
SORTING IS THE VERY FIRST STEP
IN SCRAP QUILTING, AND THEN ONCE
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT COLORS THAT
ARE YOUR FAVORITE, DON'T EVER
MAKE QUILTS WITH COLORS YOU
DON'T LIKE, BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS
MUCH FUN.
YOU DON'T JUST GET THAT HEALTHY
DOPAMINE RUSH LIKE YOU DO WITH
COLORS THAT YOU LOVE, RIGHT?
WE ALL REALLY MISS NANCY, AND
THAT WAS A WONDERFUL -- IT WAS
LIKE THE EXPERIENCE OF MY
LIFETIME, BEING ABLE TO BE ON
HER SHOW, AND IT'S EXCITING TO
BE ABLE TO EDUCATE PEOPLE NOT
FROM JUST THE STATE OF WISCONSIN
BUT WE'VE GOT PEOPLE HERE FROM
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
AND THEY OFTENTIMES TEACH ME AS
MUCH AS I TEACH THEM.
>> WE DO, WE LEARN FROM OUR
STUDENTS AS WELL.
AND YOU WERE TEACHING THIS
TECHNIQUE, SUPER SIMPLE QUILT.
>> RIGHT.
A QUILT CAN LOOK VERY
COMPLICATED, BUT IT'S ALL IN THE
SLASHING AND CUTTING AND
STACKING TECHNIQUES THAT I USE
IN MY BOOKS.
THEY'RE EASY ENOUGH FOR
BEGINNERS.
AND LIKE I SAID, MOST OF THE
TIME, IT'S NOT THE CUTTING AND
THE PIECING AND THE SLASHING BUT
THE COLOR SELECTION THAT KIND OF
TRIPS PEOPLE UP A LITTLE BIT.
SO I TAKE FROM A VERY EASY
APPROACH.
I HAVE FOUR BASIC COLOR SCHEMES
THAT I USE, AND I ALWAYS SAY
THAT MY COLOR SELECTION
TECHNIQUES ARE NOT THE END ALL
AND BE ALL.
THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES OUT
THERE.
BUT I HAPPEN TO THINK THEY'RE
THE EASIEST ONES OUT THERE.
>> THAT'S GREAT, GREAT ADVICE.
YOU HAVE GREAT TECHNIQUES AND
GREAT METHODS, AND WE CAN LEARN
MORE AT YOUR WEBSITE.
>> YES, MY WEBSITE IS
BUNGALOWQUILTING.COM.
I OWN A QUILT SHOP IN BEAUTIFUL
RIPON, WISCONSIN, WHICH IS SMACK
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STATE, SO
IT'S ACCESSIBLE TO LOTS OF
PEOPLE.
AROUND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU

>> WE SELL ONLINE,

>> HELLO, I'M DEANNA SPRINGER,
LIVE AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW, WITH INSIGHTS AT THE
EVENT.
AND I AM JOINED BY MODERN
QUILTER TaMARA HOWARD.
WELCOME, TaMARA.
>> THANK YOU.
WELCOME, DEANNA.
I APPRECIATE BEING HERE, I LOVE
BEING HERE.
IT'S MY FIRST TIME AND I'M JUST
HAVING A PHENOMENAL TIME.
>> IT'S GREAT TOMMY YOU AND
THANKTO MEET YOU.YOU'RE ALSO TEACHING LECTURES.
>> I AM, I'M TEACHING A LECTURE
CALLED KENTE QUILTS.
I'M A MODERN QUILTER ROOTED IN
TRADITION, TRADITIONAL PIECING
AND TYING IN THAT MODERN
ELEMENT.
IT'S BEEN SO MUCH FUN.
>> TELL US ABOUT THE QUILT
BEHIND US.
>> IT'S CALLED ECLIPSE.
IT'S A FUNNY STORY. I'M ONE OF
MY FAMILY'S GENEALOGIST.
WE WERE GOING DOWN TO GEORGIA TO
DO SOME RESEARCH, AND I WAS
PASSING ALL OF THESE COTTON
FIELDS AND THEY HAD COTTON DECOR
EVERYWHERE IN GEORGIA, SO WHEN I
GOT HOME, I WANTED TO FIND SOME
COTTON THAT I COULD DECORATE MY
HOME WITH, AND I BOUGHT THIS
BEAUTIFUL WREATH, AND SO I WAS
INSPIRED TO CREATE THIS QUILT
BASED ON THAT WREATH, AND SO
THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE HERE.
INITIALLY I CALLED IT COTTON
WREATH, BUT MY SISTER RENAMED IT
ECLIPSE.
SO THIS IS ALL WITH PATTERNS.
SOME OF THEM ARE AFRICAN, SOME
OF THEM ARE AUSTRALIAN PRINTS AS
WELL, AND I USED INSET CIRCLES
TO CREATE THE 2-INCH DIAMETERS
OF THE RINGS.
>> BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S JUST A REMARKABLE WORK OF
ART.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>> HOW DID YOU GET STARTED
QUILTING?
>> SO MIGRATE GRANDMOTHER WAS MY -- MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER
WAS A QUILTER AND I HEARD A LOT
ABOUT HER COLORFUL STORIES AND
THAT INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A
QUILTER AS WELL, BUT THE SECOND
GENERATION WOULDN'T TEACH ME.
[LAUGHTER]
THEY DIDN'T ENJOY QUILTING, THEY
DID IT BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO
BECAUSE OF NECESSITY AND KEEPING
WARM.
THEY WERE MORE SO INTO CLOTHING
AND BEING A SEAMSTRESS, SO I HAD
TO TAKE CLASSES AT THE COTTON
BALL AND I BEGAN QUILTING THERE.
>> TERRIFIC.
IF PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT YOU AND YOUR TECHNIQUES
AND YOUR QUILTS, WHERE CAN WE
FIND YOU ONLINE?
>> I AM ON INSTAGRAM UNDER
FOLXQUILTS, I'M RIGHT THERE,
EASY TO FIND.
FOLKQUILTS.
I POST NOT OFTEN BUT OFTEN
ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU INTERESTED.
>> BEAUTIFUL CONTENT.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME FOR

>> HELLO, I'M DEANNA SPRINGER,
LIVE AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW WITH INSIGHTS AT THE
EVENT.
I AM JOINED BY LORRAINE
TORRENCE, OUR FAMOUS WEARABLE
ART DESIGNER, PATTERN
DESIGNER/AUTHOR.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME,
LORRAINE.
>> THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME.
WE'RE GLAD TO BE HERE.
>> I'M SO HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU
TODAY.
WE'RE STANDING IN THE AMERICAN
SEWING GUILD, MADISON CHAPTER
BOOTH.
>> YES.
SO WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT
SEWING GUILDS AND QUILTING
GUILDS, AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
TO JOIN AND BECOME PART OF
THOSE.
>> SURE.
I CAME TO MADISON 10 YEARS AGO,
LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY, AND THE
FIRST THING I DID WAS JOIN THE
AMERICAN SEWING GUILD MADISON
CHAPTER, AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF
OTHER GROUPS.
THIS IS THE ONE WHERE I FOUND
COMMUNITY.
AND NOT ONLY COMMUNITY, BUT A
LEADERSHIP ROLE EVENTUALLY,
LEARNING THINGS, CONTRIBUTING
THINGS, DOING CHARITY SEWING FOR
THE COMMUNITY.
SO IT'S BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT
PART OF MY LIFE.
>> YOU SERVED AS PRESIDENT VERY
SOON AFTER YOU ARRIVED IN
MADISON.
>> WELL, NOT THAT SOON.
I WAS ON THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE
FIRST, AND THEN SERVED AS VICE
PRESIDENT, AND THEN FOR TWO
YEARS ENDING LAST DECEMBER, I
WAS PRESIDENT.
>> GREAT.
AND WHAT SORTS OF EVENTS AND
HAPPENINGS GO ON AT THE GUILD?
I KNOW HAVE SOME CHALLENGES AND
OTHER PARTICIPATION THINGS FOR
MEMBERS TO BE INVOLVED WITH.
>> RIGHT.
I MENTIONED COMMUNITY SEWING.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO EVERY
YEAR, A PROJECT OR TWO.
WE ALSO HAVE PROGRAMS AT EVERY
MEETING, PRETTY MUCH EVERY
MEETING.
SOME ARE DEVOTED TO SHOW AND
TELL, WHICH WE CALL SUPER SHOW
AND TELL, WHEN THAT'S THE WHOLE
PROGRAM.
WE HAVE SPEAKERS FROM ALL OVER.
AND OF COURSE DURING COVID, WE
MET ON ZOOM, AND SO WE WERE
PRIVILEGED TO GET NATIONAL
SPEAKERS FOR AN HOUR WITHOUT
PAYING AIRFARE OR LODGING.
>> RIGHT.
THAT WAS A GOOD THING WITH
COVID, RIGHT.
RIGHT.
>> YEAH.
SO LOTS OF LEARNING, LOTS OF
SHARING.
GOOD FRIENDSHIPS.
>> LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS FOR
SURE, OUR SEWING BUDDIES ARE OUR
GOOD FRIENDS FOR SURE INDEED.
>> SEWING IS AN EASY WAY TO FIND
COMMUNITY IN A NEW PLACE.
AND I DID IT WITH SEWING GUILD.
I HAVE MY BEST FRIENDS HERE.
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL.
AND I FIRST MET YOU IN
WASHINGTON AT THE SEWING HISTORY
EXPO.
NANCY AND I BOTH MET YOU THERE
AND YOU WERE A GUEST WITH NANCY
SEVERAL TIMES.
>> I WAS.
I WAS A VENDOR, SINCE I HAVE A
PATTERN BUSINESS, I WAS A VENDOR
THERE WHICH WAS CONVENIENT FOR
ME BECAUSE I LIVED IN SEATTLE
FOR FOUR YEARS, BEFORE MOVING
HERE.
AND MET YOU THERE, MET DONNA
FENSKE WHO WAS HELPING, WORKING
FOR NANCY, AND ULTIMATELY DID
SEVEN EPISODES.
>> SEVEN EPISODES.
>> ON SEWING WITH NANCY.
ú>> WE WERE THRILLED TO LEARN 10
YEARS AGO YOU WERE MOVING TO
MADISON AND SHARING YOUR
EXPERTISE OF SEWING AND ALL YOUR
CREATIVE PATTERNS THAT YOU HAVE.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PATTERN LINE.
>> WELL, I STARTED MY PATTERN
LINE BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS LIKED
CLOTHES AND USING QUILTING
TECHNIQUES IN CLOTHING, PIECING
AND STITCHING AND APPLIQUE.
, AND STARTED DOING THAT, I
DON'T KNOW, ALMOST 50 YEARS AGO.
SO I STARTED MAKING PATTERNS OF
THE FIRST I STARTED SELLING
GARMENTS THIS I MADE AND THEN
FOUND OUT IT WAS A LOT EASIER TO
MAKE A PATTERN AND LET THEM DO
THE SEWING.
AND FIT TO THEMSELVES.
AND SO ON.
I'VE PUBLISHED THREE LINES OF
PATTERNS.
MY OWN, A LINE I BOUGHT FROM
SOMEONE ELSE, AND THEN ADDED A
LOT OF NEW PATTERNS FROM GUEST
DESIGNERS I INVITED, TO WHOM I
PAID ROYALTIES FOR THOSE
PATTERNS, AND THEN I STARTED A
THIRD LINE FOR YOUNG SEWERS,
LIKE 20-SOMETHINGS WHO DIDN'T
KNOW HOW TO SEW.
I LATER SOLD THAT LINE TO ONE OF
MY YOUNG DESIGNERS.
>> GREAT.
>> I BELIEVE THE NANCY ZIEMAN
SEWING STUDIO HAS SOME OF THOSE
PATTERNS.
>> WE DO, RIGHT, RIGHT.
HOW CAN WE LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR
PATTERNS AND YOUR DESIGNS?
YOU HAVE A WEBSITE YOU COULD
SHARE WITH US.
>> I DO HAVE A WEBSITE.
IT'S WWW.LORRAINETORRENCE.COM.>>IT'SABEAUTIFULWEBSITE,FULLOFIN
SPIRATION.
EVEN SOME OF YOUR
SAMPLE GARMENTS ARE ON SALE.
>> AND QUILTS.
