| Instructor Bio: | Joleen Green Kaleidoscope: Through the Looking Glass Bed Turning Trunk show. I learned to quilt over 50 years ago at the age of 10. My grandmother taught me to sew foundation piece quilt blocks using her Featherweight Singer sewing machine. We often made quilts for charity. She taught me the art of quilting and the joy of creating things out of textiles. I grew up with a quilt or two on every bed and have continued that tradition in my home today. I have taught piecing and quilting in Iowa, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Texas, and Hawaii. Teaching in shops, retreats, and workshops brings me much joy. I love spreading the art quilting to others. I have taught quilting in both junior high and high school. One of my greatest joys is teaching my 10 year old granddaughter to piece and quilt when we get together for sew days. I have made hundreds of quilts for family, friends, as gifts, as donations, and many just for myself. Over the years I have made many store samples for quilt shops. The most recent store samples were for a shop in Maui. Some of these were lost in the Lahaina fire. I have made many different types of quilts using many different styles. I especially enjoy designing my own quilts and have written and designed many patterns. I hand quilted until 2009, when I got my first APQS Millennium quilting machine. In 2017 I upgraded to an APQS Millennium which utilizes a computer to help in the quilting process. Between piercing and long-arming I always have a number of quilts in the works. One of my favorite quilts to make is the Kaleidoscope, using 60 degree triangle pieces. I created my first kaleidoscope quilt in 1988. I love the challenge of deciding the pattern placement of the resulting hexagons in making these quilts. Over the years I have produced over 60 kaleidoscope quilts and have helped others design countless others. I look forward to helping more quilters design their own unique Kaleidoscope quilt. My husband of 45 years and I both are retired and live in Iowa City. We have three sons, and five grandchildren. I look forward to making quilts for them as they reach various milestones in their lives. |
