  Temperature Quilts and Beyond
  

  Zoom lecture by
  

  Jo Avery
  

  Saturday, September 14, 2024
  

  11:00am - 12:30pm (Arizona Time)

  
  

  A temperature quilt is created by assigning certain fabrics to specific temperatures. These are used to record daily temperatures in your local area in the current year but could also represent another place or time entirely.

  Jo has gained hands-on experience from making five different temperature projects (so far!), and will share practical advice on how to go about starting your own. She will also share many amazing examples of different temperature quilt approaches from other makers including some that add in other daily weather aspects. She will also highlight the numerous other craft techniques that can be used for recording temperature.
