>> 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 WE 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.
