Important: Lynn is available to evaluate as many as ten quilts that night. If you have one such quilt, contact [email protected] to be part of the lineup.
Lecture Description: Quilt preservation, conservation, and restoration will be highlighted as well as how to repair a quilt. Basic quilt care and cleaning will also be discussed. About Lynn: Lynn learned to sew at a young age, and also took up knitting, crocheting, crewel, embroidery, and macrame. She learned to use a sewing machine at age 10. In seventh grade, while others were making aprons, Lynn sewed a dress with an inset bodice piece! She has done upholstery work and made wedding headpieces, purses, women's clothes, and leisure suits (for her husband). Nothing stopped her from learning. Lynn told herself she would not learn to quilt until she was a grandmother but, the day her daughter said she was expecting, Lynn signed up for a quilt class. The twin babies are now 25 and she has had great experiences ever since. After making quilts, Lynn wanted more. She attended all the quilt shows she could as well as many quilt lectures near and far. At one Fabric Study class, she was hooked, never realizing how much more she could learn about fabrics. She attended annual American Quilt Society appraising classes in Paducah, Kentucky (her vacations since 2008). In 2016 she became a Certified AQS Quilt Appraiser and now belongs to several fabric study groups. Lynn enjoys retirement while traveling by motorhome with her husband. When on the road, she gives trunk show lectures with unique quilts she finds, appraises at quilt shows or guilds, and teaches. She loves meeting people and so many interesting ones are out there!
