Ms. Victoria Miller’s “ Trunk Show” Lecture (The Art of  Applique)

Victoria Miller is the winner of the Best in Show award at the 2008 AQS show in Des Moines, Iowa. She won with her quilt “Mrs. Miller’s Quilt” which was inspired by an antique quilt from Canada by a Mrs. Miller, hence the name. Ms. Miller will speak on applique quilting. Appliqué is a quilting technique whereby various shapes are cut from plain or print fabrics and applied to a larger background fabric.  The result can be abstract or a more traditional design.  Almost any image can be translated to this versatile technique.

Here is an example of an applique quilt (click on quilt for detail).

Appliqué has been Victoria’s choice of techniques since 1988.  Her quilts are all hand appliquéd and hand quilted.    She has won many awards both locally and nationally (to include the 2008 best of show at the AQS show in DesMoines, IA).  She and her husband live in Northfield, MN.

Meet Ms. Miller and learn from an experienced quilter, Thursday, April 15, 2010, Madison Street United Methodist  Church Community Room, off Commerce Street.   Make plans to attend this lecture.
