 Special Guest: Laura Hartrich (presenting via zoom)

 TopicLabels as a Love Letter

In this presentation Laura will talk about how labels factor into quilt making practice. She will share lots of images as I discuss technique, inspiration, and motivation for creating labels as detailed and unique as quilts themselves. 






About Our Guest Speaker: 

I’m a fiber artist who works 
primarily in quilts—some created as heartfelt, well‑loved gifts meant to be used, washed, squished, and taken on picnics, and others made as art pieces exploring reflection, acceptance, time, and memory. I live just outside Chicago with my family and recently began my career in occupational therapy, a field centered on the meaning found in everyday activities. That lens shapes my work, inspiring quilts that examine daily patterns, routines, and experiences; by making the personal public, I hope to spark connection, commiseration, and a bit of humor.


 Workshop Offered?: Yes: Label Level Up + Embroider Your Handwriting (In Person!)
