Challenges, Swaps and Exchanges …OH MY!

 

This trunk show consists of over 40 quilts and wall hangings that Theresa has made over the years. She has quilts made from charm square exchanges, ugly fabric challenges, block of the month quilts done through her guild and many more online.

Martha Walker – Wagons West Designs

 

100 Years of Quilts 1840-1940

 

You’ll see great examples of quilt styles of the various periods, as well as the fabrics used in those quilts. Next, I’ll discuss restoring antique quilts, such as what to consider when considering restoring a quilt and techniques you can use to repair the quilt. I’ll show the quilts that I’ve personally restored.

 

Her quilts and designs have been widely featured in domestic and international quilting magazines, and she has also designed several fabric lines for commercial fabric manufacturers. She has been awarded ribbons for her quilts at International Quilt Festival, American Quilter’s Society Quilt Competition, Road to California, and more.
