Taking good care of antique and vintage quilts is taking good care of family, textile, and social history. It’s a wonderful journey!
Preserving Our Quilt Legacy Virtual Workshop
My next workshop will be held January 27 - February 24 2024, on 5 consecutive Saturdays. All the details and registration are on my website.
We will cover many aspects of the process. Restoration, conservation, and preservation. Finding patching fabrics, which includes gaining knowledge of the history of fabric printing and dyeing. Learning about needles, threads, and other tools of the trade. Learning stitches and tips for well-sewn patches. Learning how to choose what and how much to do, including when to repair and when not to.
Each student can present one (or two if time
allows) quilts for discussion of how, when, and why to use the various
supplies and techniques. All eras and styles are welcome. This will be our own mini quilt show, with lots of interesting history to discuss.
I have 40 years of experience to share. The workshop is appropriate for quilters, appraisers, collectors, and the keepers of family heirlooms. I'll guess some of you belong to several of those categories at once!
