8 AUGUST 2007 AMERICAN PATCHWORK & QUILTING

editorfrom the

Every August, visiting the

Iowa State Fair signals to

me that summer is winding

down. It also brings a quilt

exhibit that never fails to

inspire (plus, it’s fun to see

projects that entrants have

made from patterns in our

magazines!).

By the time the fair ends,

kids are heading back to

school and I’m getting antsy

to learn something new, too.

This year, I’m in the mood

to tackle something really

“blue-ribbon-worthy.”

Two such quilts from this

issue have captivated my

imagination. Now I just have

to decide between the set-in

seams of “Eight-Pointed Star

Chain” (page 32) or the hand

appliqué in “Bold and Bright”

(page 46). I’d love to hear

what you choose to make

from this issue!

Elizabeth Tisinger, Editor

a note from Elizabeth

“The two most beautiful words in the English language are

‘my bed,’” a friend once said wistfully as we spent the night

in an airport waiting out a storm. I have to agree. After

traveling for work and pleasure, it’s always good to come

back to the comforts of my home—especially if my bed is

covered with a quilt lovingly made by a family member.

That being said, I do love traveling—mostly because

of all the interesting quilters I get to meet as I’m racking

up miles on my car and amassing frequent flyer credits. For

instance, it was a treat to make so many new friends when

I attended Quilting in the Garden last fall in Livermore,

California. Beautiful quilts and enthusiastic quilt lovers

have made this annual event a favorite destination. I’m sure

you’ll agree after reading “The Best Thing” (page 104).

We’ve also been busy photographing the latest set of quilt

shops to be featured in our Quilt Sampler® magazine. The

next issue will be on sale September 11 and tells the stories

of amazing and talented quilt shop owners around the U.S.

and Canada. I hope you’ll pick up a copy and enjoy planning

future trips to these 10 diverse shops.

Even though I’m back at my desk, I still get to “meet” new

people electronically. I relish e-mails I receive from you, our

readers, telling me about your projects, your favorite finds,

and places you’ve visited. Keep sending me your thoughts at

[email protected]. I love hearing from you!

Happy quilting!

soak quilt careSoak, a new line of modern care for fine fibers, is fast becoming a hit with knitters and quilters. It smells great, and its gentle formula is perfect for hand knits, raw fibers, and even felting. Best of all, it requires no rinsing, so washing large items is a snap: just soak, squeeze, and lay flat to dry. $11.99-$29.99416/599-4287www.soakwash.com

any people may read the cereal box at breakfast, but few turn

the encounter into a contemporary quilt. Designers Bill Kerr

and his wife, Weeks Ringle, did just that when they created

“Some Sett lement May Occur.” “We are always in search of

inspiration from the time and place in which we live,” Bill

explains. Drawing ideas from our everyday world, the couple

has made hundreds of quilts by simply being mindful of what

surrounds them.

Original thinking, too, enables Bill and Weeks to

thrive as modern quilt artists, fabric designers,

inspirational coaches, authors, lecturers, and

charitable quilt givers. “I don’t think we’ll ever

be trapped in a particular style,” Bill says

from their Oak Park, Illinois, home and

FunQuilts studio just outside Chicago. One

common thread keeps them moving forward:

the honest pursuit of fun and life.

Quilting in the Present“We’re always asking ourselves this question: What

does it mean to be a quiltmaker here and now?”

Weeks says. Their quilts seem to answer with

enthusiasm: From “Pink Lemonade” to “Pick-Up

Sticks,” the names alone capture the culture.

Beneath simple lines and colors, the construction

and quilting become exquisite examples of skill and

imagination, their stitched designs engaging and familiar.

High-end art museums and collectors have recognized FunQuilts since its 1999

debut at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF). Today, FunQuilts is

a visible part of the mainstream, with its quilts appearing in national magazines,

as American Folk Art Museum pieces, on the beds of inns and private estates, and

even as a math textbook cover. FunQuilts designs also have appeared in craft and

decorative art shows internationally, including Weeks’ most recent “Tankini” quilt

touring with the acclaimed Quilt National 2007 (www.quiltnational.com).

Bill and Weeks distinguish separate arms of their business: creating handmade

collectors’ quilts (each selling for $1,000 to $5,000) and encouraging hobby

quilters. They see their role as teachers and coaches in helping people fi nd their

own voice. “We have no interest in teaching people to make quilts that look like

ours,” Bill says. “It’s so much more invigorating to give people the design skills to

execute what’s in their minds, to give form to their ideas.”

Inspiring Originality“The most important thing is having original ideas. We can always work backwards

and fi gure out technique,” Weeks says about their business approach. Tackling

every quilt themselves (with no other staff ), Bill and Weeks share solid

craft smanship and a strong design education. Bill learned to sew at age eight from

his mother, a fi ber artist; Weeks taught herself to quilt while working in Japan.

They apply their philosophy to every teaching opportunity, including a weeklong

Annual Design Camp at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois (where Bill

also teaches graphic design). Bill “cross-trains” quilters in basic design principles

that cover a variety of inspirational sources (see Gather Ye Nectar While Ye May,

page 32). “Students come here not to att ach fabric A to fabric B,” Bill says, “but to

learn how to execute what’s in their mind. They leave both exhilarated and

exhausted.” The couple also leads occasional lectures and workshops, which now

are booked through 2008.

Modern and traditional quilting fans also can absorb the couple’s design insights

in their three published books: Color Harmony for Quilts (Rockport, 2002), which is

on color theory; an extended version, The Quiltmaker’s Color Workshop (Quarry,

2005); and the best-selling The Modern Quilt Workshop (Quarry, 2005), likened to

Joy of Cooking for contemporary quilters, including 15 original quilt patt erns.

Weeks and Bill encourage experimentation with brilliant splashes of original

fabrics. In fi ve years, they have designed more than 100 versatile prints, some

tone-on-tone, others playful patt erns that encourage quilters to venture beyond

ABOVE LEFT TO RIGHT: Weeks and Bill’s Oak Park, Illinois, home and studio are a perfect fit, where Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and modern design surround them. The quilt hung on the wall, “Some Settlement May Occur,” reveals expert craftsmanship and design with its colorful, tangent circles that are inset, not appliquéd.

The studio is in the basement of the Ringle-Kerr home. On wall-size corkboards here and in the kitchen, they hang “pieces of their lives” for inspiration.

Mendhi, the couple’s latest fabric line, is based on henna body art originating in India. “The lines are organic, free-form and complex,” Weeks explains. Each of 28 different prints touts as many as 18 different colors.

BELOW LEFT TO RIGHT: Bill and Weeks document ideas for their latest fabric.

To remain creative in their design, Weeks says it’s important to surround themselves with creative things, places, and people. As a regular blogger on international crafts portal WhipUp (http://whipup.net), she connects with passionate crafters worldwide.

Bill and Weeks do their own quilting on a 14-foot-long quilting machine. Quilting their projects themselves provides yet another avenue for expression and design.

the norm.

Love, Learn, Serve

For Bill and Weeks, quilt designing is a lifestyle, which they

chose aft er leaving the corporate world. Weeks had been

working all-consuming hours in landscape architecture, and

Bill had just completed graduate school in strategic planning

and product design.

“Total commitment makes it work,” Weeks says. They also

are committ ed to their 5-year-old daughter, Sophie, who is

increasingly eager to “play” with fabrics. Though frustrated

by their many ideas—and not enough time to pursue them—

Weeks and Bill are content with their course to “love, learn,

and serve”—especially as it applies to quilting. “Do a litt le of

these daily,” Weeks advises, “and you’ll be happy.” �

Gather ye nectar

while ye may

This folk saying embodies Weeks

and Bill’s philosophy that creative

inspiration comes from multiple

design sources. Similar to the path

of a bee gathering honey, they

suggest quilters look beyond their

own medium to art, architecture,

furniture, product design, and

fashion to sustain their creative

energy. They also offer this design

advice:

• Work from a “big idea.” Be inspired

by the time and place in which you

live. Consider objects and ideas that

are meaningful to you and design a

quilt to celebrate them.

• Listen to your instincts. Believe

and pursue your own ideas, rather

than trying to please the judges or

designing to the trends. Even the

simplest ideas can be exaggerated

in charming, fun ways.

• Take your time and enjoy the

process. So much of the quilt world

is about fast and easy, but learning

takes time and patience. Quilting is

not about how many quilts you make,

but how meaningful they are to you.

ABOVE: Design Camp devotee

and prize-winning quiltmaker

Mary Beth Clark painted this

chair as a thank-you gift for

Weeks and Bill. It reflects the

couple’s philosophy to follow the

path of the honeybee, gathering

“nectar” from many sources.

ABOVE: Modern quilts blend well with the clean lines of Weeks

and Bill’s home. The quilt on the bed (”Love Beads” from The

Modern Quilt Workshop) is a playful exercise in curved piecing.

>>WATERMARK GUIDELINES

• Watermark must be used on all AllPeopleQuilt.com videos.

• Location: always place icon in the lower right quadrant

• To access the appropriate logo files, use the following path on the Crafts server: CRAFTS>QUILTING>WEB SITE>>DESIGN>LOGOS>WATERMARK LOGO. This file is in a layered .psd file (the format needed for video editor.)

• When using logo, always keep placement and size consistant. You should not alter the size of the layered photoshop file. It is already sized appropriately.
