Julia Mcleod (Zoom)
Everything but the Cotton
 
When quilters don’t have cotton, they get creative. From wool and silk to polyester, neckties, saris, and kimonos, quilters have always turned to unexpected textiles to make their art. In this month’s program. Julia will share antique and modern examples of “not cotton” quilts, along with a trunk show of her own work that proves just how inspiring unconventional fabrics can be.
