Saturday October 19, 2024 Lecture:  Silk and Salvage – Julia McLeod 11:00 am EST-12:00 pm EST

This is the story of my three and a half year collaboration with San Francisco Bay Area quilt maker Sue Fox. Together we created stunning silk quilts and drew inspiration from our shared projects that fed our own, solo work.  This lecture, trunk show and Q & A session shows Silk and Salvage collaborative quilts as well as my own work. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of working with other quilters and examine the way that contrasting styles and working methods can spark creativity.   Members: Free Non-members: $ 5
