Appalachian Style Quilting

Every stitch tells a story. Every quilt holds a memory. Each one is a link to the generations that kept this beautiful tradition alive. Create your own traditional quilt by learning the time-honored techniques of slow, portable handwork. Hand-piecing and hand quilting-as-you-go are the foundation of this week. All levels of quilting experience welcome.
