August
Timna Tarr comes from a long line of quilters but did not begin quilting until after studying art history in college. She bought her first long arm in 2001 ad began quilting clients’ quilts shortly thereafter. Since then she has custom designed and quilted thousands of quilts. Timna’s own nationally award winning quilts are in private and corporate collections and have been seen in numerous exhibits, quilting magazines and books. She has appeared on Quilting Arts TV several times. She is a speaker and teacher throughout the northeastern United States and is a member of her local guilds.
Workshops – Timna Tarr will also bring us two workshops: “Designing with Flying Colors” (3 hrs) and “O Happy Day” (6 hrs). She will then teach five (or more) techniques on how to make perfect circles, using both hand and machine techniques.
