Carla Klop
Guild Program Saturday, January 8, 2022 ZOOM Lecture - From Quilter to Designer Carla first learned to quilt by hand around 1976 and for the next 30 years completed a quilt per year. It was not until discovering the rotary cutter, that her ideas went wild. She developed shortcut methods to speed up her time. These methods are now published in a binder along with patterns and tips.
Carla has created 60+ patterns, many which use her techniques. She has been published 4 times in the American Quilter magazine and has had featured patterns with some of Northcott’s fabric collections. In this hour long presentation, Carla shares the accidental path she took to go from Quilter to Designer. She has many quilts to show, all created over the past few years. Carla and her husband Bill have travelled around the country doing shows and teaching events. Due to COVID, all travel has been replaced with this Zoom version of the presentation. Carla and Bill spend their time between Vermont and Florida. |

Texture. Technology. Textiles. Teacher. These are the things that identify the many aspects of Cheryl's sewing career.
Cheryl Sleboda is a full time quilter and fiber artist who loves heirloom sewing techniques made modern. I know when you think of heirloom sewists, you think of someone who looks like her, right?
She loves to do fabric manipulations to raise the surface of my quilts. Cheryl's work is often small… think 6 inches square. She loves vintage linens and the modern quilt and art quilt movements. Basically, she's not your grandmother’s quilter.
Cheryl is on a mission to be unique and weird in the quilting world. She used to groan at the headline “Not your grandmother’s quilts”. But you know what? That’s what we do! We make stuff our grandmothers could not make! Cheryl is ok with that. And you should be too.
Cheryl teaches and lectures around the country, and she gets RAVE reviews from people who attend her talks and classes.
Cheryl has been on many episodes of Quilting Arts TV and It’s Sew Easy TV, and countless magazines and newspapers. She also has a fun line of products from heirloom sewing tools to sewing skull shirts to show off your rock n roll quilter style. Cheryl recently started a company focused on cosplay called “Sew Much Cosplay” and has been teaching costuming for many years.
Cheryl is influenced by her other hobbies and interests, including comic books, science fiction, Japanese comics and culture, and pop culture from the 1980’s.
