Quilt with Judy
Retreats
The Clearing

THE CLEARING is a school of discovery in the arts, humanities and natural sciences and is on the national historic register. It is a "hands on" folk school experience where students reside for a full week of camaraderie, beauty in nature, quilting and great food. The week offers a project or theme that most participants choose to work on but Judy is open to students working on quilts of their own choosing as well. Students sew in the Schoolhouse, a short walk from the Main Lodge and campus.

For information on how to register... go to their website:theclearing.org.

QUILTING -- INSPIRED BY JENS

"Everyone is entitled to a home where the sun, the stars, open fields, giant tree, smiling flowers are free to teach an undisturbed lesson of Life.  Herein lies my task."

This year's Students will be encouraged to create a "one of a kind quilt" using this quote of Jens Jensen, The Clearing's founder.  No actual patterns will be provided, so as to promote participants into developing their own ideas of how this inspires them...Be it a star quilt, pieced trees, applique or a modernistic interpretation.  Part of the class will be to get help in developing your idea and then making it happen...."herein lies MY task"!
