NANCY
PRINCE
Nancy Prince, an award winning quilt
artist from Orlando, Florida,
specializes in thread painting. Her
anyone-can-do-it approach to thread
painting is fun, easy and a new way
for quilters to broaden their
quilting experience. She has
recently introduced thread sketching
into her workshop offering.
Nancy is the author
of Simple Thread Painting
published by the American Quilter’s
Society, has taped several episodes
for Simply Quilts and Creative
Living on PBS, has appeared in
national magazines and has won
numerous quilting awards. She has
won first place in Large Pictorial
at the AQS Quilt Show in Paducah,
Outstanding Innovative Quilt at Road
to California, an Honorable Mention
at the International Quilt Festival
in Houston, plus Best of Show at the
NQA Quilt Show. Her quilts have won
Best of Show, Viewer’s Choice,
Artistic Merit, Best Machine
Workmanship and Judge’s Recognition
at recent shows and first place at
Bernina University.
Nancy is totally
addicted to thread painting and her
enthusiasm in workshops can be
contagious!!! Students comment on
her commitment to one-on-one
attention and her upbeat attitude.
She travels the country teaching and
lecturing to anyone who will listen
in order to share the excitement and
creativity thread painting brings to
her quilting world. She excels in
taking the mystic out of thread
painting, making it easy for anyone
to master.

Community Quilts
Community Quilts chair Becky Siva brought
loads of fabric from the Guild's 'stash' and the more
than 70 members and guests who attended spent the
evening cutting out and packaging quilt kits for members
to sew in the coming weeks. Kits will be available at
each meeting and members can piece tops and quilt and
bind them, if they choose. The growing number of members
with new long-arm quilting machines is a boon for
Community Quilts as members volunteer to quilt completed
tops as they are learning or expanding their knowledge
and skill.
For information on kits or finishing
quilts, contact Becky. |
