Program: Debby Kratovil presents “Shortcuts From a

Short Woman”

Date: October 14, 2025

Time: 10:00 AM—12:00 PM

This is a trunk show bursting with tips, tricks, shortcuts and a variety of innovations that will satisfy any quilter. Traditional blocks made with non-traditional methods will be demonstrated.

I’ve been sewing since the dinosaurs roamed the earth and quilting since 1985 when I began to see quilts in newsstand magazines. I was salivating at the beauty and thought: “I can do that. I know how to sew.” I began sewing squares and triangles together for table runners and small wall quilts. I found a few quilt books in the library, but never followed the patterns. I just needed some inspiration.

I’ve had close to 1,000 quilts and “how to” articles published; I’ve added 3 quilt books, 18 quilting Block a Day calendars, and almost 200 quilts and patterns designed and made for several fabric companies. I say often: “I’m only as good as the next quilt!” I’ve been a boots-on-the-ground quilt teacher for 20 years and I find that to be my favorite part of the industry. This way I get to create new designs to teach!

Guest Fee: $10
