Guest Speaker: Chawne Kimber heads up the math department of a college. Her work has had a profound impact on the modern quilting community, from her deep artistic messaging that confronts issues of justice and empathy, to her techniques of tiny piecing, handwork, and lettering. We were so fortunate to have her with us to talk about Autobiographical Quilting! Please find Chawne on Instagram @caucycomplete and online at https://cauchycomplete.wordpress.com/quilt-gallery/.
