Shannon Brinkley is a quilt/fabric designer, author, and national speaker and teacher based in Austin, TX. She has a BA in education, many years of teaching experience and LOVES teaching in all forms. A former elementary teacher, teaching remains a huge passion. She speaks and teaches throughout the US.
Shannon has always been drawn to any craft involving textiles. As a young girl, she explored weaving, embroidery, knitting, and garment sewing. She began quilting in college where she found her passion for combining textiles with quilting techniques.
She has written a book, Scrappy Bits Applique, focusing on how to turn scraps of fabric into gorgeous, modern art quilts through a collage technique. In addition to her book, she has published numerous patterns with animals, maps, sewing, science and US and World Skylines -- all of which can be created using her techniques.
On May 17th at the Henderson Convention Center 7:00 pm Shannon will be presenting a lecture and trunk show illustrating her scrappy applique technique. We will learn about her, what lead her to quilting and to developing her techniques that ultimately resulted in publication of her book. She will share quilts from the book as well as new ones. Included will be a broad overview of the technique and process (nitty-gritty details are reserved for the workshops) and provide ideas and inspiration for how these techniques can be used. There will be a Q&A session. She will also have books and patterns available for purchase and signature.
