Attendees will learn about Appalachian string quilting and how to incorporate and reuse scrap fabrics into their practice. Each attendee will be instructed on how to create a mini quilt comprised of four 8″x8″ squares, batting, and backing. Appalachian String Quilting is a traditional approach to quilt making that makes use found materials and provides beginners with the necessary skills to go on and create their own quilts. The act of sewing and creating our own textiles is necessary to build self sufficiency and by using scrap fabrics, we can be mindful of our environmental impact while also creating unique representations of our identities.
