Every maker's journey is influenced by the people, ideas and experiences discovered along the way. Weeks Ringle of Modern Quilt Studio will discuss how the places she and Bill Kerr have lived, their educations and their points of view have shaped them as quilt makers, and also how you can find new possibilities in making your own quilts. Learn how to harness your unique talents to broaden your own quilt making journey.
Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr established Modern Quilt Studio (previously FunQuilts) in 1999 to design and make quilts that are expressive of the time in which we live. Their books include Transparency Quilts, Quilts Made Modern, Quiltmaker's Color Workshop and Modern Quilt Workshop. In 2011, they launched Modern Quilts Illustrated, the first magazine dedicated to modern quilting. Weeks and Bill currently design fabric for Andover Fabrics and have designed textiles for Crate and Barrel, RJR and FreeSpirit. Weeks also writes the blog Craft Nectar and Bill is chairman of the art department at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. Learn more at modernquiltstudio.com.
