Megan Sharp, Curator of the Stuhr Museum, will demonstrate the art of tatting. Tatting is a very old needlework skill that was often used to make edging for handkerchiefs, table runners, clothing and more. It requires only minimal tools and makes lovely lace patterns. There will also be an opportunity for those watching to make their own sample of the technique!

All attendees at the Quilt Show are invited to participate in a real quilting bee! Learn the basic steps in hand quilting and try it for yourself on a quilt frame, just as our grandmothers did! If you would also like to try your hand at machine quilting, our guild members will be there to help you make your first quilt block.
