JOYCE
LAWRENCE CAMBRON spent her childhood summers in Idaho logging camps, and now
fosters her love for trees and rivers by spending time in the tiny back-country
community of Atlanta.
Throughout her life, she pursued various arts and crafts media until
finding her vocation as a quilter in the early ‘90s.
Her quilts have been accepted in AQS, APNQ and IQA shows; and have won
many awards in local shows. Joyce
maintains her connection with the quilting world by working part-time for a
Boise-based internet outlet for fabric and quilters’ notions; by teaching her
personally-developed technique for curved piecing in local shops; and by serving
on the board of her quilt guild.
She’s excited about developing new patterns and uses for her technique,
and hopes her students will take her enthusiasm for curved piecing home for use
in their own original projects.
Spinning Cartwheel
Three day class – Monday, Tuesday
& Wednesday
Confident beginner - $195.00
This wall hanging was inspired by Judy Mathieson’s
Cartwheel design, with curved piecing adding a sense of motion.
It’s also evocative of the traditional Giant Dahlia designs, but can be
stitched by machine with great ease using basting glue such as Roxanne’s or
Aleene’s tacky glues. The intent
of the class is to inspire students to tackle any curved-piecing project with
confidence.
The 30” or 36” center medallion is surrounded by your unique pieced border, stitched using freezer paper foundations. If you love the precision of paper piecing but hate the hassle of removing the paper, you may find this class a life-changing event. Your 42” square or larger, finished project makes a beautiful wall hanging or baby quilt depending on your fabric choices. (This class will be held at the 49’er Inn and Suites).
