Topic: Introduction to the Modern Quilting Aesthetic
This evening we welcome back Amy Friend. This program will be a one hour long trunk show that includes a discussion of Amy’s personal sewing history and evolution, and how it fits into the modern quilting movement. By showing samples of her work, Amy will introduce quilters to the characteristics of modern quilting as defined by the Modern Quilt Guild so that they get a better understanding of what modern quilting is all about!
