LAURA PATTERSON from Bay City came to our guild and gave a trunk show of
her past quilting projects. Her quilts were featured in the Bay City
Heritage Quilt Show. During the
trunk show she explained how she made many of her remarkable quilts. She
gave a demonstration of how to hand piece, how to use ultra-suede to make
SKINNY applique motifs. and how to embroider and using beading on organza to
make your own applique. Laura stated that hand piecing was faster for her
then machine works as she pieces when goes on trips, waits for appointments or
watches TV. She said she is rarely without a project.
I am posting just a few of the many pictures I took of her quilts. I took over 45 pictures and would have taken more but my battery died.
