Lectures

  • Making It Up As I Go Along

    Join me for a guided tour of my quilting process as I describe the creative but, often unknown, path I travel as I make my quilts. Whether the quilt seed starts from a question, a sketch, my scraps or my imagination, I am never completely sure of where it will take me. I am truly often making it up as I go along.

  • One Thing Leads to Another

    Improvisational quilting is an intuitive way of creating quilts. Fern often starts her quilts by playing with scraps or an idea, drawing a rough sketch or wondering: What if? In this lecture Fern describes her quilting process and how each decision informs the next, keeping her engaged, focused and often unsure of what happens next.

  • Confessions of a Whole Cloth Quilter

    How Fern found the Liberated Pathway. A trunk show illustrating Fern’s beginnings from a timid quilter to a tiny piecer and all the influences along the way.
