Victorian Crazy Quilt Workshop with Cris Prete
Sunday 28th September, 2-5pm
Join textile and embroidery artist Cris Prete for a patchwork quilting workshop inspired by a c.1890 Victorian ‘Crazy’ Quilt found in Museum of the Home's collections.
During the workshop, you’ll create a 15cm square panel, which can be used as the beginning of a larger quilt, a patch or pocket to be added to clothing, or a finished artwork in its own right.
The first half of the workshop will focus on foundation piecing through hand stitching to begin creating your quilt. In the second half, you’ll explore techniques for embellishment and embroidery to ornament your piece.
Upcycled fabrics, embroidery threads, and embellishments will be provided, but you’re encouraged to bring any materials to personalise your creations.
