Program: Trunk Show - Modern and Curvalicious
Location: Beulah Presbyterian Church
Modern quilting diva Jen Carlton Bailly, she of the blog bettycrockerass.com: Make Something Awesome, presents a trunk show of her delicious quilts, many of which have graced the covers and pages of Modern Patchwork magazine.
About our presenter: In a previous life, Jen Carlton Bailly probably sold you a pair of jeans or khakis at The Gap. Today you’ll find her covered in thread and searching down the latest inspiration for a quilt. A self-proclaimed master at curves, she finds pleasure in creating quilts with secondary patterns that make you stop and wonder.
Jen has a love for: cats, cats on quilts, cats wearing costumes, baking, sewing, gin rummy, fabric, Vespa’s, and the Oxford Comma. Jen has no love for: socks, wool (she’s allergic), Candyland, and being called Jenny.
