Event Details
This approximately one hour long trunk show will include a discussion of Amy Friend’s personal sewing history and evolution and how it fits into the modern quilting movement. By showing samples of her own work, she 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!
