SPEAKERS
Patti Pearce - Quilt Stories
Patti Pearce believes that our quilts have stories - why the quilt was made, the fabric used, creating the design, or the challenge of a new technique. The stories are just waiting to be told. For more than 40 years, she has been making quilts and finally figured out that she does it for entertainment since she certainly doesn’t need any more quilts. But she keeps stitching them because they make her happy. Her current projects include tiny houses, scrappy quilts, art quilts and vintage linens.
Patti has shared her quilts with guilds in Oklahoma, Missouri, and her home state of Kansas. She moved to Arizona four years ago and enjoys doing the same with quilt groups throughout the state.
Raymond Steeves
We opened 3 Dudes Quilting, January 15, 2008, just months after the big Stock Market down turn of November 2007. We found immediate acceptance in the quilting community, and we were off to a great start as shop owners. Sadly, after nine great years as a successful quilt shop with a five star rating and an international presence we were forced to close the shop for financial concerns.
The biggest joy of owning a quilt shop was the great people we meet along the way. Wonderful, happy people who loved the art and craft of quilting as much as we did. We will miss them the most. The second biggest joy was the learning and growing we did as quilters/artisans/crafters. What a joy to be able to do something you love and share it with our wonderful quilting friends.
Early in my quilting journey I discovered a simply, fun and easy way to make quilts that I dubbed the “Lets Strip It” method. The result was 20 plus original designs and patterns. Several of those patterns were featured on Missouri Star Quilt Company by Jennie Doan and the Man Sewer Rob Appeal. I have toured with Trunk Shows and classes featuring this Lets Strip It method.
