Confessions of a “Thread-Centric” Quilter
Julie Reuben
Tuesday, November 24, 2026 – 6:00 pm CST
In this virtual trunk show, Julie Reuben, describes the development of her unique style of quilting, in which intensive hand stitching is the dominant design feature. At 50, Julie discovered the modern quilting movement and became quickly obsessed, learning from the amazing resources the internet offers. She had her first quilt accepted into QuiltCon in 2019 and has exhibited there and at other shows regularly since then. She is fascinated with how something as small as a stitch of thread, when repeated over and over again, can create lines and shapes that interact with the fabric below. In this talk, you will learn how Julie turns the humble stitch into unexpected and evocative art quilts.
