Shirley Dawson: The 'F' Words of Quilting (Fear, Failure, Finishing) - November In-Person Meeting

What do we do as quilters when faced with fear, self doubt or even worse failure? Join Shirley as she shares her stories of quilts she moved past the fear of possible failure onto finishes.

Shirley Dawson is an award winning designer and teacher. She learned to sew in school when she was 12 and has never really stopped. Shirley studied and graduated Fashion Techniques and Design at Sheridan College. She also won several awards from Fashion Canada during this time.

Over her career she owned and operated Munchkin Designs, producing a children’s clothing line that she sold at craft shows in and around Ontario including the One of a Kind. She also designed wedding and specialty dresses for both adults and children. Her interest in all things able to be sewn by hand or machine has allowed her to expand her interests far and wide.

Shirley has been quilting for 35 years and since retiring she has spent most of her time sharing her vast knowledge of sewing to her many students, some who are novices and others who wish to grow their confidence and experience on more challenging projects.
