    Estrella Shoka


    In 2023, Estrella's alma mater, Wellesley College, awarded her a fellowship to spend 3 1/2 months in Chile studying arpilleras and their role in social justice.

    Arpilleras are wall hanging-sized textiles where the maker (the arpillerista) uses piecing, appliqué and embroidery to create an image or a scene on a foundation of burlap.  Traditional arpilleras could depict a village market or a seashore excursion.  Estrella’s focus, however, was on the arpilleras that portrayed the brutal conditions under the Pinochet dictatorship and on the arpilleristas who through their “humble” craft helped draw international attention to Chile and helped end the dictatorship. 

    In her presentation, she will share both her experience and the stories of some of these courageous arpilleristas and what they and their families endured. Although the overarching theme is one of resilience and empowerment, some people may find the content difficult. 

    More About Estrella

    Estrella is an active member of GQCCC.  She has had a lifelong interest in crafts that started with attending knitting and crochet classes with her mother during her childhood on the East Coast.  Her quilting journey began about 20 years ago, when her children were still young and she was looking for a creative outlet.  She has since made dozens of items, ranging from quilts to bags to clothing, in many different styles from traditional to modern. 

    Although she considers herself to be more of a crafter than an artist, she is proud that her "Dinner Plate Dahlia” was selected to be shown in the Pacific International Quilt Festival in 2021.  More recently, her interest has expanded from traditional piecing and bed-sized quilts to smaller scale projects, such as landscapes and portraits that involve different textures and/or the use of media such as ink.

    Sandra Bruce

    This presentation will be an overview of the evolution of "Material Matrix", a technique developed by Sandra and influenced by the painter Chuck Close.   This technique interprets a photograph using a grid.

    Sandra will also discuss the colorful visual journey that defines her style of quilts, her inspiration, longarm quilting, wearable art, and much more!

    More About Sandra

    Sandra was born in Virginia to deaf parents who always encouraged her creativity.  Her love of quilts began when she started a quilt group with her neighbor Therese May in the early 1980's.  She moved to Grass Valley in 1990 and has been taking classes and learning new techniques ever since.  

    As a commercial illustrator and letterer for over 30 years, it greatly influences her quilt work.  Sandra is also a polymer clay artist, and teaches classes and sells polymer clay buttons and jewelry.  She also enjoys making wearable art, playing pickleball, and traveling.

    Sandra will be teaching a class on the "Material Matrix" technique on September 27 and 28, 2025.  Click here for details.

    By request, Kris is back with another mini-landscape scene to create using a layered topstitching technique!  You have your choice of two different scenes: Tuscan Hills or Beach Music.


    Each scene is quick and easy to make: no templates are required and uses no-fuss rotary cutting and topstitched edges techniques.  You can personalize your landscape by adding collage details such as a stucco villa, cypress trees, and vineyard details (for Tuscan Hills) and lace, yarn, beads, and charms for (Beach Music.) 


    Everyone will receive a kit with the fabrics needed for the basic scene. You are welcome to bring your own fabrics and embellishments as well.  The workshop will focus on piecing the landscape and learning the technique with an eye towards topstitching to your heart's content. The piece will measure approximately 8" x 12" without borders.


    This workshop is suitable for sewists of all levels, but you should be familiar with your machine, able to sew a 1/8" seam, and be comfortable sewing with other than just a straight stitch.


    Doors open at 9:30 for setup, workshop starts at 10:00 am.


    A light lunch will be provided – bring your own beverages.

    Sandra's technique, "Material Matrix", is inspired by the painter, Chuck Close.  It uses a gridded photograph and interprets each 2-inch square into fabric, using piecing to achieve the effect.

    This two-day class will teach her technique, as well as what makes a good photo to use, color and value, curved-piecing, and how to grid your own photo. Everyone in the class will work on the same "Wake Up Cup" project. 

    For an additional $3.00, Sandra will provide a template and handouts so the piece can be finished at home with confidence.  This can be purchased directly from Sandra at the class.

    This class is suitable for sewists of all levels.

    Kris is back for the third consecutive year to lead the Mystery Quilt workshop! This year's project will be made with five fabrics, each measuring 1-yard. The pieced top will come out to 54” x 64” with a border.

    This pattern does not have curves, Y-seams, applique, or paper piecing. It can be made in a one-day session, so it is not an intricate pattern. The challenge is in taking the leap of sewing without having the visual in advance. 

    It is recommended to have a light, a medium, and a dark fabric, and two multi-colored, medium-to-large print fabrics. The light fabric is considered your background. It is best to not use directional fabrics in a Mystery Quilt, since you have no idea which direction they will turn, but if that doesn’t bother you, use whatever you would like!


    This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience.

    A light lunch will be provided – bring your own beverages. 

    Doors open at 9:30 for setup, workshop starts at 10:00 am.

    Luke Haynes

    Luke talks about his work in the context of art and architecture. His studies were in contemporary art and modern architecture and both influenced how he understands quilting. He has made over 350 quilts and has shown them across the world.

    In this presentation Luke will show slides on how the work is made and how the process is conceived through the lens of painting and building. The works he will show span from simple variations of traditional quilts to entire houses covered in fabric. Quilts are geometry made physical.

    More About Luke

    Luke  was born and raised across the American South, receiving formal training in art and architecture at Cooper Union in New York. A chance encounter with a box of fabric remnants sparked his imagination, leading to his first quilt which measured 7’x10’. As he continued to experiment, he created a system to piece manageable parts into a larger whole, applying a modern design sense to a familiar process. He uses reclaimed materials from the communities he works with in order to speak with the textile language of each region. 

    Watch a video from the LA Times about Luke.

    Ellen Lindner

    What do 750 pins, window screening, and paint have in common?  They’ve all been used by Ellen Lindner in creative ways as she’s made art quilts.  Join her in an amusing accounting of some of the wacky things she’s done over the years, some of them successful and some of them resulting in “rough drafts.”  She’ll share with you why even the unsuccessful ones are useful and why she fearlessly embraces experimentation.

    More About Ellen

    A former flight instructor, Ellen didn’t try her hand at art until her forties. After learning the basics, she quickly began to experiment and over the course of years developed her own fabric collage technique. More recently, Ellen has been dyeing all her own fabric and working abstractly. She finds abstract design to be very challenging, which is exactly why she likes it.

    She often participates in juried shows and has won quite a few awards throughout the country.

    Now using her teaching skills at a lower altitude, she teaches online, as well as via her episodes on Quilting Arts TV (PBS) and “The Quilt Show” online. Ellen has also written two eBooks and several articles.
