A few weeks ago all of the Handi Quilter educators gathered at HQ’s HQ (headquarters) in Salt Lake City, UT for fun, food, and (oh Yeah) a little bit of training. We are now ready and raring to go, to share Handi Quilter happiness worldwide.
We were excited to see our ice dye quilts on display in the Handi Quilter gallery. The quilts were the result of the Ice Dye Challenge that we received at out training in November 2016. We each chose a hand ice dyed piece created by Debra Linker. You can see more of Debra’s work on her Facebook page. We took them home and quilted them, spectacularly!
So here they are, in no particular order, for your enjoyment. My apologies; we had only a short time to talk about our quilts and the pictures were taken quickly. Pay no attention to the closed eyes and crooked shots!

One of these days, I’ll get a chance to photograph the backs of the quilts. When I do, I will share them with you here. The quilting truly is spectacular!
Do you know any of these wonderful, talented ladies? Have you taken a class with any of them? Or met them at a show? Lucky you!
If you’re wondering where you can take a class, you can find the schedule of events here. Maybe there’s one coming soon near you!
Each quilt is awesome. I would love to learn how to quilt a whole cloth quilt like that. I will check out the schedule for a class near me. Thanks for the inspiration and a wonderful longarm, I own a Fusion with ProStitcher.
These are fabulous. I love dying the fabric and quilting them like this. Each one is so different and speaks to you in a different way.
