October Zoom Meeting Recap

Hope you were able to join us on Thursday, October 15th at 7 p.m.
for special guest speaker Julia McLeod,
from Silk and Salvage who presented:

Where's the Cotton?

Before easy access to the local quilt shop, before internet shopping, how and where did one obtain materials for quilt making? And once a quilt-maker had a collection of available materials, how did those materials inform design and construction? What can we learn from quilts made with a restricted supply or unusual types or sizes of materials? Julia McLeod’s PowerPoint had a wide-ranging look at quilts made during times of privation, shortages, sanctions incarceration and hospitalization. Her talk showcased both historical and contemporary makers, and highlighted some pretty awesome quilts. The trunk show included work by Julia McLeod and Sue Fox, Silk and Salvage collaborators.

What a great presentation! Love the Zoom opportunities, as guests joined from West Virginia and California, and here in Washington.
