Patti recalls that \u201cback in the day\u201d when Northcott sold fashion fabrics, one of her responsibilities was to create show displays. When Northcott began adding quilting fabrics to their product range, she quickly learned to quilt so that she could make displays with the quilting fabrics. When she found out that the unique and interesting fabrics in Northcott\u2019s earlier quilting collections, particularly panels, were not selling well, she started designing quilt projects using panels to help quilters to enjoy working with panels as much as she did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Patti is Vice President \u2013 Public Relations of Northcott Fabrics.&nbsp; In this capacity, before COVID-19, she was traveling to quilt guilds and shops, inspiring and educating quilters with \u201cinteresting and entertaining presentations\u201d on how fabric is designed, and how to use it to a quilter\u2019s best advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, Patti began designing her own fabric. Her first collection, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcott.com\/product-detail.aspx?fbid=79&amp;colid=2464&amp;colorid=3299\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vino<\/a><\/em>, was designed for Northcott\u2019s Banyan Batiks division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/3299_Vino_WebBanner_826x3003.jpg\" alt=\"Patti Carey\" class=\"wp-image-8064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/3299_Vino_WebBanner_826x3003.jpg 826w, https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/3299_Vino_WebBanner_826x3003-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/3299_Vino_WebBanner_826x3003-768x279.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is Patti\u2019s favorite quilting tools that she can\u2019t live without? \u201cMy E-Z Miter\/Lone Star tool (designed by me :)), A Clover Hera marker, my 72\u201d cutting table, my Pfaff sewing machine, and of course my Northcott fabrics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons Learned During COVID-19<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the lockdowns began last March, Patti spent more time in her sewing room as well as engaging online with quilters through social media. She also took online courses to improve her skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What the pause with COVID-19 taught Patti Carey was that \u201cvirtual social interaction is great! We have learned to adapt to isolation while still staying connected. The world has become smaller.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teaching at Road@Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patti is most looking forward to sharing her skills, methods and passion with quilters around the world during Road@Home. She is expecting to inspire her students in her classes to <strong>add some new techniques to their quilting technique toolbox.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During her classes, Patti will be trying something new: including some pre-recorded segments that will allow each student to see how she performs various techniques through her eyes instead of by peering over another student\u2019s shoulder. Patti commented, \u201cI am thrilled with this opportunity!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about Patti Carey, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/pattispatchwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patti Carey will be teaching 4 classes during Road@Home: T102 \u2013 Finishing Touches on Thursday, January 21st from 8:00 \u2013 11:00 AM TL04 \u2013 Interesting Quilts From Unusual Fabrics- A Trunk Show on Thursday, January 21st from 1:30 \u2013 2:30 PM &nbsp; F102 \u2013 Intro To Improv Piecing on Friday, January 22nd from 8:00 \u2013 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8058"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8066,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8058\/revisions\/8066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
