Lizzy House and her Meadows quilt

On a balmy Spring evening last week, Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild was delighted to welcome our first ever international guest speaker, Lizzy House.   Lizzy is a fabric designer, teacher, print-maker, go-getter and all round crafty clever clogs.  And she came all the way from Texas y’all.

Lizzy spoke with passion about her journey as a creative person; from boldly announcing at age 6 that she was going to be a fabric designer, to actually releasing her first range of fabric.  Through a very engaging and entertaining presentation, she took us along her creative path; trying different creative artforms and practices, developing your own voice, working hard, believing in yourself and being persistent.  It was an inspirational and emotional talk, which was relevant for all of us pursuing creative endeavours, including modern quilting!

For those #quiltnerds who would like to learn more about Lizzy, you can listen to her recent interview on the Crafty Planner podcast.

Thank you also to all our members, and visitors, who attended this talk, and to our wonderful sponsors Amitie Textiles for providing lucky door prizes.

Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild run regular events, including our (members only) Super Sit and Sew Days which feature a guest speaker. Click here for membership enquiries.
