We’re excited to announce our April speaker Valori Wells! Valori is an accomplished professional quilter, author, fabric and pattern designer, painter, and photographer. She has been designing fabric for 14 years and is the Co-Owner of the Stitchin' Post, which her mother opened in 1974. Marks is Valori Wells' newest fabric collection in which she collaborated with her mom, Jean Wells. Marks captures the freedom of nature in pattern, color and texture. The woven imagery is created with hand carved blocks that are carefully layered and printed resulting in unique color palettes. Join Valori as she takes you through the journey of creating the Marks fabric collection and quilting projects.
Valori will also be teaching two workshops while she is visiting us. They will be $75 for PMQG members and $100 for non-members.
