Chautauqua Class Quilt<br />
In 1981, I applied to teach a class at the Chautauqua<br />
Institution Summer School.<br />
The class was listed as “An Introduction to Screen<br />
Printing/ Chautauqua Mementos”.<br />
I taught the students to build a small screen <strong>and</strong> to<br />
stretch the screen fabric on it.<br />
I had researched <strong>and</strong> had suitable photo copies of<br />
Chautauqua scenes <strong>and</strong> activities. Some had their<br />
own original ideas.<br />
Each student would print one, two or three images in<br />
one color. If there were 12 people in the class they<br />
would print 12 or more. They shared their prints<br />
with the rest of the class.<br />
Everyone went home with enough quilt blocks to<br />
make a quilt. They could also print on paper to make<br />
a portfolio of prints. This first year, I supplied navy<br />
blue, black <strong>and</strong> brown ink. This became a challenge<br />
when I put them into a quilt.<br />
This quilt still hangs in Kellogg Hall, the Summer<br />
Schools office at the Chautauqua Institution.
