There was not enough room in our calendar in 2022 to make as big a fuss about Chris Jurd’s first book as we would have liked. So instead we are doing it in 2023 with a big display and trunk show alongside a corker of a weekend workshop. Chris’ book was released with Quiltmania and is chock block with Big Bold and Beautiful quilts just as the title suggests all in her signature style; bold colours, big blocks,  fast accurate foundation or freezer paper template piecing and plenty of graphic black and white. 

This trunk show is a chance to see and hear about all the book quilts up close. We will spend and hour and a half hearing all about Chris’ making journey with the quilts hanging all around you. Chris says she will have all but one of the book quilts to hang AND more! So you will be in for a treat. There will be time for shopping and book signing and a meet and greet with Chris at the end of the trunk show. We tried this same format with Kathy Doughty in November and it worked incredibly well. There was plenty of space, parking and we have use of a mobile microphone so Chris will be able to walk around the hall chatting about the quilts where they are hang and everyone will be able to hear everything. 

We love Chris’ quilts! They are immediately recognisable for their fearless curves, points and colour. Chris is well known as an experienced and organised teacher and is an accredited teacher by QuiltNSW. That sounds all very official but in class Chris is a lot of fun and she has a lot of experience talking to audiences about her quilts and her inspiration. You will be dying to make big fat juicy blocks full of colour before you know it!  

We are running this trunk show in the large light filled Anglican church hall across the road from the shop surrounded by as many of Chris’ quilts as she can bring including all but one of the quilts in the recent book. It is a unique opportunity to make work surrounded by the quilts hung on the walls for inspiration and to completely immerse yourself in the Chris Jurd vibe. We tried out this format with Kathy Doughty in November 2022 and it was an unbelievable success.
