Join fiber artist Sandra Lee Chandler for a powerful one-hour lecture exploring the creative process behind her art quilts made entirely from repurposed denim. In this intimate and visually rich presentation, Sandra shares how she transforms worn jeans, discarded denim, and salvaged fabric into one-of-a-kind quilts using original patterns she’s designed herself. Each piece is hand-stitched, layered with intention, and deeply rooted in personal and cultural storytelling. You’ll discover how every quilt tells a story—from memories sewn into thrifted seams to messages stitched into the very fabric of the work.
Sandra will walk you through her creative process: selecting denim, deconstructing jeans, designing unique layouts, and infusing life into each stitch with techniques that honor slow fashion and sustainability. This lecture is perfect for makers, quilters, storytellers, and creatives who want to be inspired by what’s possible when art, heritage, and repurposing come together.
