Kathy Cook is a modern improv quilter from Bloomington, Illinois. A member and former president of Bloomington/Normal MQG, she loves to share her enthusiasm and obsession for quilting. She is honored to have had quilts juried into QuiltCon and was chosen to be a member of the QuiltCon jury last year. Find her on IG @kathycookquilts.

Kathy’s presentation, “Let’s Talk Temperature Quilts,” will cover everything you need to know about making your own. Using examples from a variety of modern quilters we’ll look at how the choices you make — the palette, block, technique, and orientation — inform the design. Examples of temperature quilts made with traditional and modern blocks, improv, paper piecing, and appliqué construction will be included. Kathy will talk about how to make a key and where to find current and historical data.
