Marianne & Jay on the Runway:
A Quilter’s Alliance of Fabric & Fashion
Our biggest event in the exciting Quilters Take Manhattan series will feature beloved quilt TV host Marianne Fons, who will lecture on “Why We Quilt.” Her daughter Mary Fons, a slam poet from Chicago who recently launched her own quilt TV show, “Quilty,” on the Internet will follow in the program. Then, meet Jay McCarroll, first season Project Runway winner, who is now designing quilt fabric for FreeSpirit. Jay will be interviewed for the Alliance’s prestigious Q.S.O.S. oral history project, and take questions from the audience. This afternoon has it all: door prizes, refreshments, goody bags, and an amazing silent auction. (The bad boy of quilting, Mark Lipinski, will be there too: but his role is a surprise for now.)
