In August, we welcome Sharon Rotz from Mosinee, Wisconsin. She will present her lecture, “Diet Quilts”. Is your stash getting a bit too weighty? Are your shelves beginning to bow under the stress? Is it time to trim down and shape up? Try these fun quilts that reduce the load and eat up your scraps. Maybe we’re not talking “strip” steaks, “string” cheese or “three squares a day”, but , well...., who knows?

Sharon's passion is to share her love of fabric with othersthrough teaching skills, inspiring ideas, and encouraging appreciation of quilting as an art form. Specializing in creative use of color and design, she is ready to share her quilting world with you.

From childhood, learning embroidery stitches from her mother and making her first skirt in 4-H, Sharon felt a close connection to fabric. She pursued a degree in Home Economics Education, worked in the ready-made clothing industry, learned tailoring and dressmaking and spent many years making custom home decor. When Sharon entered the quilting world, she brought with her this varied background of skills and expertise.Sharon’s website is: www.bysher.net
