John Willard was a flamboyantly-dressed quilt teacher at CQA’s annual gathering in Kamloops in 2008. I was in his class and liked his procedures and his vision. He liked his students to come away with courage to be bold in fabric selection and in actions. Be prepared to move frequently from sewing machine to cutting table to ironing station. We will have fun!

Bio: Darlene Chapman
Quilting is and has been part of my life for more than 40 years, along with work, sports and family. After years of participating in many workshops, and learning many different techniques, I find my work has moved from traditional to much more innovative quilting. Usually I am behind, and have several unfinished projects or challenges to complete.
I am one of the original Fabricators and being part of this group is both inspirational and daunting at the same time. The members are always helpful and supportive in every way possible. Fabric dyeing is one thing I really enjoy, experimenting with various techniques, colours and combinations of colours.
