Speaker: Dawn Heese
Lecture: The French Connection

Speaker

In this program, Dawn Heese takes you on a journey through France—by way of fabric and thread. She shares the many quilts she has designed for French magazines, along with those featured in her book From the Linen Closet. Through her stories and stunning quilts, Dawn offers a glimpse into the creative exchange between American and French quilting traditions, celebrating timeless design, color, and craftsmanship.

A fourth-generation quilter, Dawn grew up surrounded by needle and thread. She is the author of nine books, including "Geese in the Rose Garden" and "From the Linen Closet", and is well known for her fabric line with Marcus Fabrics. Dawn's company "Linen Closet Designs", is named for her grandmother's linen closet filled with vintage quilts. Her work regularly appears in magazines in the U.S. and abroad, and she has taught and presented in both America and France. With her warm, engaging style and love of appliqué and traditional quilting, Dawn brings the charm of French inspiration right to our guild.

The Flying Geese Quilt Guild brings together a vibrant community of quilters through monthly meetings and a variety of activities. These gatherings feature quilt-related programs presented by talented members, locally recognized fiber artists, and nationally and internationally acclaimed speakers; including quilters, designers, and textile artists.
Every month, our guild members delight us with a spectacular Show and Tell, offering a glimpse into the creativity within our community and a preview of the stunning quilts featured in our biennial quilt show. Before the meeting and during breaks, members can socialize, sign up for workshops, and enter opportunity drawings for small wall hangings and door prizes.
Between meetings, the guild offers a variety of activities, including hands-on workshops, philanthropy sewing days, and small friendship quilt group gatherings.
Founded in 1985 by 30 dedicated quilters, the quilt guild has grown to approximately 200 members in 40 years. Our mission is to promote and educate members and the public in creative quilting and fiber arts, preserve the heritage of quilt making, and encourage quilt-related activities.
Guild membership offers access to workshops led by expert speakers, friendship groups, philanthropy sewing days, and community education projects. Members also enjoy special events such as our biennial quilt show, quilt auction, and retreats.
