Pat Speth

Five Inch is a Cinch  -- How Nickel Quilts Are Created

Hybrid Meeting -- Speaker on Zoom

Meeting starts at 10:00am 

Program starts at 11:00am

Pat Speth began quilting in 1988 when she purchased a wool quilt batting from her Grandmother's auction. "I checked out a stack of quilt books from the library and fell in love with the patterns and designs, I knew I could not stop with just one quilt."

Pat started working with 5 inch squares as a basis for her quiltmaking in 1993 after attending her first retreat. Pat started on the book, Nickel Quilts in 1998 and was able to have it ready for the publishers in June 2001.

Pat's trunk show is sure to get quilters fired up about using 5" squares of fabric and many of the ideas can also be adapted for using other precuts; such as 2 1/2" strips and layer cakes.  She'll show a great assortment of quilts from her collection and will  focus on the blocks in the quilts and the simple components they are made from.

Quilts for all skill levels will be shown. One of her favorite things to do is to design a quilt using simple piecing and have the result look like a much more intricate quilt!
