    Join us in this lecture with Monique as she shows her various works and discusses the different techniques that she uses to enhance her work.

    About Monique Kleinhaus

    Monique is a collage artist of techniques--blending her respect for traditional patchwork with bobbin-work, thread painting, watercolors, felting, weaving, and often on her own hand-dyed and hand-painted fabrics.  Many of her compositions include three-dimensional objects with a variety of fibers and textures.

    Born and raised on the same farm where her grandfather grew up in Northwest Montana, she picked up the tradition of quilting from her mother.  "Just as my father took up the plow from his father, I learned to love and work with fabric from my mother.  An avid quilter and teacher, my mother's work lit my creative fire, and much of what I've learned has come from our playing and experimenting together.  The things that I cherish most from my mother's teachings are the desire to constantly discover and explore, embracing my sense of adventure, and of course, having a sense of humor."

    Monique owns and operates Ladybug's Cabin in Bigfork, Montana, and has designed over two dozen patterns for applique, table décor, and bed quilts.  She considers her patterns an invitation to explore and play.  And she loves to share her fascination of color and texture in the fiber arts to inspire others to let their creativity shine.

    Check out Monique's WORKSHOP on October 12th.
