RIVER CITY QUILTERs' GUILD

PREVIOUS SPEAKERS

Marjan Kluepfel
"Evolution of an Art Quilter / Quilted Fabric Workshop"
January 16, 2023: Marjan spoke about her quilting journey beginning in home country, the Netherlands. She presented her nontraditional approach to quilting, where her ideas and inspiration come from, how her work has evolved over the years, and why she does what she does.

Workshop: Sculptured Flowers
Arlene Arnold
"From Kentucky to California by Wagon Train"

​October 18, 2022: Arlene came to the world of quilting in 1975 during the Great Quilt Revival for our nation’s Bicentennial.  With her degree in art, Arlene entered the fabric world with enthusiasm. Using a 1”x2” picture of a Log Cabin quilt she saw in Better Homes and Gardens magazine, she drafted the pattern and being a novice and not knowing what she was doing, she made enough 12” blocks using 1” strips to cover two king size beds!  Since that time she has gone to win Best of Show and many blue ribbons for her work.
​Today, Arlene’s focus in quilting runs in the area of Pre-Civil War quilts to those from the Depression.  She has quite a collection of antique and vintage quilts that she uses to lecture on and share with other quilters.  Arlene also makes her own patterns using these quilts for inspiration.  And yes, she still uses graph paper and a pencil!Arlene belongs to two quilt guilds, several on line quilt study groups and three California area groups, SCCQG, NCQC and Quilt Guilds of the North Quarter.  When not playing in the quilting world Arlene can be found on her tractor farming 20 acres of walnuts and raising her beloved English Springer Spaniels on her ranch in Colusa, CA.

Pat Fryer "Villa Rosa"
September 20, 2022: Pat’s retirement from the quilting business has been impossible for her to achieve. Not long after closing up shop and moving to a beautiful hillside in Northern California, which she calls Villa Rosa, she came up with the idea for quilt patterns on a card. Now, besides publishing patterns, running an online shop and doing shows, she also has a retail store in an industrial area of Grass Valley. Her staff includes local talent, and family members and designers from across the country. Pat has been sewing since the age of ten and got her degree in Textiles from UCDavis. She has owned quilt shops for over 30 years. Pat taught quilting at her shops and the local college
Villa Rosa patterns by their nature are simple and easy to finish. They are fun to make and the projects get done—great for giveaways and donation quilts. “Fun and done” is Pat’s motto.​

Patricia Belyea
"The Alluring World of Japanese Yukata Quilts"

September 21, 2021: Join Patricia Belyea took us on a virtual tour of the Tokyo Quilt Festival. Then we got swept away to a chusen-dyeing workshop with elaborate hand-dyeing process. Patricia finished with a trunk show of her quilts made with Japanese cottons and talks about how the fabrics inspired her quilt compositions. Bio: A creative quilt maker, speaker and teacher, Patricia co-owns Okan Arts wit her daughter Victoria. The small family business imports vintage Japanese textiles for adventuresome quilters. Patricia is the author of East-Meets-West Quilts, a book about making improv quilts with Japanese fabrics.
