A History of Redwork

 

Join us at the Estes Valley Quilt Guild meeting on Wednesday, April 13, at 6:45pm to hear our speaker Laura Shotwell, from The Fig Leaf in Ft. Collins. She will present a program on the "History of Redwork."  Redwork embroidery is an easy technique that anyone can learn to do and Laura is looking forward to showing you her tips and tricks, sharing her antique collection and the history of Redwork, as well as getting you started with a free design!"

 

Laura Shotwell has owned and operated The Fig Leaf quilt store in Fort Collins, Colorado for 33 years. Always interested in fabric and sewing, she obtained a degree in textiles at CSU and originally opened The Fig Leaf as a dress fabric’s store. Since then she has expanded into quilting and embroidery materials. Laura is fascinated with quilt history, collects antique textiles, and enjoys teaching quilt history and Redwork embroidery classes. Some of Laura’s antiques are turned into exclusive pattern designs that she sells at her shop.

Guests are encouraged to attend for a nominal fee of $10.
