21st Annual Farm Fest Quilting Retreat
July 20th & 21st, 2018
We are very excited about changing up the Farm Fest format this year! We will be having a single selection for this year’s event. We are thrilled to have well known designer Doug Leko from Antler Quilt Design from Minnesota. Doug will be teaching an 8 hour class on Friday July 20. The pattern is “French Twist” from his new book “Stashtastic”, which will be included if the Farm Fest fee. The quilt is 68” x 85”. The Saturday session will be an open sew where you can continue working on “French Twist” or any other project of your choice.
Here is our Shop Sample
We have samples in other colorways too: red, green, & scrappy.
Kits are available!
A little bit about Doug:
He founded Antler Quilt Design in 2008 when he was just 14 years old. He started quilting at the age of 6 and working in his Mother’s quilt shop over the years has helped him develop his skills and refine his art. Doug takes a distinctive approach to his quilting designs. He enjoys incorporating secondary design elements into his quilt pattern, and is absolutely passionate about color.
Doug has released over 60 individual patterns as well as several books. Many of you may be familiar with his work associated with the Holly Taylor fabric lines out at Holiday time the last couple of years.
