Lecture: Trip Around the World in Folk Art Stitches

A maker since childhood, Catherine Redford is an award-winning quilter and a popular teacher at the local and national level. Catherine is a frequent magazine contributor and has enjoyed being a guest on Quilting Arts TV, Love of Quilting and theQuiltShow.com. She is enjoying the resurgence of interest in handwork, teaching classes for all skill levels and writing the embroidery book Butterfly Stitches (C & T 2020). A BERNINA Ambassador, Catherine delights in finishing her own quilts on a domestic machine! The second edition of her book, Modern Machine Quilting was published by C&T in December 2025. In her lecture, Catherine will treat us to a fun, interactive “Trip Around the World in Folk Art Stitches”. She will take us around the globe with the quilts from her April 2017 exhibit at International Quilt Festival in Chicago. We will learn how she found her inspiration, the stitches she used and the finishing techniques she employed.
