Instruction will be given for a simple and effective way to accomplish the enhancement of your quilt with padded trapunto. There will be some hand quilting because we need to have something to stuff but don’t be intimidated if your hand quilting isn’t prize-winning quality, we are concentrating on the stuffing part and you can certainly use this trapunto method with your machine quilting at home.
Supply List
• ½ yard muslin or similar fabric with a not-too-tight weave
• 12”, 14” or 16” quilting hoop
• No. 2 pencil
• Small embroidery scissors, preferably curved.

An Expression of Women's Lives Through Their Quilts
I have become interested in the way women, over many centuries, have used their needlework to document their lives and tell their stories. Their quilts tell us much about the lives of women of past eras and are often records of major historical events and shifts. My lecture explores this theme covering the history and development of quilting and my own development in the art, illustrated with many of my prizewinning quilts. No slides, just quilts, quilts, quilts.
