Event Description: We will be hand-quilting an art quilt on an antique floor frame. The quilt components are a nice mix of the contemporary and the traditional. If you do not know how to quilt, come and learn. If you love embroidery, come and add your special stitches. This is an improvisational project with no wrong moves. Pam Beal has a long quilting history; she will be demonstrating technique, answering your questions and cheering you on! It is our hope that this quilt will be completed by the end of the year and made available for fundraising for the Calumet Art Center.
