AVQA member Kathy Amparan grew up here in the Antelope Valley. She made her first quilt in the 1970's from that quintessentially 70's fabric, polyester. She says she didn't make her first real quilt until 1990 when she lived in Wrightwood and became friends with the owner of the quilt shop there.
Kathy has developed her skills as a painter through oil painting and wearable arts classes that included silk painting and dyeing. She started applying these techniques to her quilts.
In her workshop, "Paint Your Quilt," Kathy will teach different methods for using Paintstiks with stencils and rubbing plates to create original and unique designs. The workshop will be held on Saturday, July 10, at Bolts in the Bathtub. You can register for the class by calling Jamie Harrington at 947.7604, or you can sign up at the July guild meeting.
You're invited to meet us for dinner with Kathy before the guild meeting at Texas Cattle Co., 44206 10th St. W. in Lancaster. We'll meet there at 5:00 p.m.
