11:00 am	"Trunk Show"
	With Maxine Wallace
	My trunk show will be mainly on how to use old, odd quilt blocks, or parts of quilts. I have made quite a few things using these things that no one knows what to do with. Also, a few pieces of redwork used in a new way using old linens. Quite a few items have feedsacks incorporated into them, either as blocks or backings. One quilt top I just put together uses the blocks I made in 1937 when I was 12.

	A technique of needlework achieved by placing applique designs on a foundation fabric and covering them with a sheer fabric. Fancy stitches then enhance the shapes and hold them in place.
