Cathie I. Hoover
Queen of Rickrack
My name is Cathie Hoover. For almost 25 years, I've been quilting and designing wearable
art for myself, my family, and for others. I love the sharing my quilting skills
with novice and experienced quilters all over the world, and I enjoy traveling to
any location to do so.
Over the years, I've just about done it all in the world of fabric, quilting, and wearable art. My specialties include all types of machine appliqué, decorative machine embellishment, wearable art design, and a wide range of piecing and quilt construction techniques. My credentials include a Home Economics degree and textile skills honed over 44 years of sewing. Whatever your skill level, one of my goals is to help you realize your potential as a fabric artist.

“Tips for Designing the Perfect Quilt”
Quilting has long been recognized as an American art form. I am an artist using fabric
to design works of art. For the last 17 years, quilting has been my passion. I love
the process of choosing a pattern and the fabric. I found out early on that I enjoy
finding easy ways to design and make quilts. I started teaching quilting 11 years
ago and enjoy inspiring new artists. From attending Empty Spools Seminars for several
years, I have been privileged to have studied under Ann Fahl, Caryl Bryer Fallert,
Carol Taylor, Nancy Elliot McDonald, Jean Wells, Freddy Moran, and Gwen
Marston.
By taking classes, you take ideas that work for you to form your own works of art.
Two years ago, I discovered a technique of putting your quilt on point without cutting
any side setting triangles. In collaboration with my current publisher, there are
now 16 patterns available using this new technique. Known as the Straight To The
Point ™ Series, the patterns have been featured by publisher Quiltwoman.com, and

Brenda Henning
“How did I Get Here?”
Hi. My name is Brenda and I quilt. I've been known to sneak fabric into my purse in case I need a fix while away from home. I take a calculator to bed with me to compute quilt yardage and block piecing in the middle of the night. I disguise fabric purchases in the checkbook register, titling the check as a grocery purchase. I even lift my favorite sewing machine into airline overhead storage bins rather than leave her home alone. I live in Alaska. Our winters are 6 months long, who really wants to go outside and get cold anyway? I am a quilter... and I am addicted! My husband considered an intervention to discuss my problem... But soon realized that if a group of my friends were to meet together, we would just QUILT!!

Janet Fogg
Mostly self taught, Janet has been sewing since childhood when after losing her mother
she claimed the family sewing machine as her own. "It became a tool for survival,
both practically and emotionally." Janet knew at a young age that she wanted to be
an artist and pursued a graphic design degree and a career in art direction.
What
she didn't know was that someday she would sew her art. "After leaving my design
career to be a stay at home mom, I began to patch my two creative worlds together.
All it took was one quilt and I was hooked." Many of the idea generation and design
skills she practiced as an art director have surfaced in her approach to quilt making
including visualization and brainstorming. "The idea or the beginning is the most
important part of the work."
