Kim Brownell, the Wacky Doodle Quilter, will feature two distinct parts in her presentation.  Firstly, "Challenges: what to do" - You are calmly sitting in your quilt group enjoying life.  Then you hear " The challenge for this year is....".  Does panic set in?  Do you want to participate, but not sure what to do next?  Learn good ideas on how to approach challenges, where to find them, and why everyone should participate in them. Then, the Wacky Doodle Trunk Show, which follows Kim's quilting journey through a variety of different techniques.  Sometimes realistic and sometimes totally wacky - her collection is a truly eclectic trek.

Kim calls herself the "Wackydoodle Quilter" due to her easy-going, whimsical style.  In quilting She doesn't always follow the rules and tend to ignore the "Quilting Police​".  Her work gravitates towards animals, nature scenes, and bright colors.  Her techniques include and blend: fabric collage, free form art quilts, raw-edge applique, as well as many others.  Kim has a passion for entering quilt challenges, which spark her imagination and inspire her.
Kim has been quilting since 1993, and has received awards and recognitions for her quilts in various shows and the California State Fair.  She was chosen as the "Featured Artist" at the River City Quilters' Guild 2018 show "Window of Imagination" because of her creativity as a quilter. 
​It is Kim's dream to inspire quilters to have fun and learn what you can create.
