Topic:  "Quilt Clinic"  

Nurses Nancy and  Lynn are two long-time quilters / sewers / friends who have put together a unique trunk show. The focus is  a "clinical" approach to reviving UFO’s (unfinished fabric objects).

These two women have given great thought to all the beautiful unfinished quilts sitting on shelves because their makers believe they have  problems that are insurmountable. It could be complicated math; unfortunate color choices; perhaps just boredom. Nancy and Lynn are convinced that a finished quilt is the best reward for the time, money and effort already put into that quilt.

The trunk show features some of their success stories. The "stars" of the presentation are quilts that challenged them – Nancy and Lynn  are eager to describe why and how they met the challenge. They will answer questions about bindings, blocking quilts, best pressing practices, squaring up, color theory, thread issues, machine tension, quilter’s math, pattern reading, how to use all your sewing machine’s functions and much more. This information will help each of us move our own quilts from our unfinished pile to the completed pile.
