“Making Something New that Looks Olde”
with Jo Morton

Jo’s love of 19th century quilts has led to a study in making new quilts that look olde (doll/crib quilt size). This old look is achieved by a careful selection of fabrics (stripes, plaids, paisleys, geometrics, florals and some charming uglies). She will bring lots of examples in an assortment of traditional patterns to show and share. Jo will also discuss her source of inspiration for the quilts. You will get inspired to make small quilts and achieve a great sense of accomplishment.
