Marianne & Jay on the Runway: A Quilter's Alliance of Fabric & Fashion
Saturday, August 6, 2011, 1:00-6:00 pm
Our biggest event in the series to be held at F.I.T., the Fashion Institute of Technology will feature beloved quilt TV hostMarianne Fons. Marianne will lecture on “Why We Quilt,” and her daughter Mary Fons, a slam poet from Chicago who recently launched her own quilt TV show, “Quilty,” on the Internet will follow in the program. Then, meet Jay McCarroll, first season Project Runway winner, who is now designing quilt fabric for FreeSpirit. Jay will be interviewed for the Alliance’s prestigious Q.S.O.S. oral history project, and take questions from the audience. This afternoon has it all: door prizes, refreshments, goody bags, and an amazing silent auction. (The bad boy of quilting, Mark Lipinski, will be there too: but his role is a surprise for now.)Individual tickets are $45 through July 31 and $60 after July 31. Please consider joining the AAQ when you buy your ticket. Annual membership fees start at $25 (Friendship Level).
