FOLDING IT UP!

I was a guest demonstrator at the 

St. Boniface Quilters Show

on July 10, 2021

"Folding Quilts on the Diagonal"

I didn't invent this method, don't know who did...but

If you want to eliminate those deep batting folds.

THIS is the METHOD!

Just google it....lots of videos out there!

My other tip was to store your quilts on the vertical

or side by side vs one on top the other.

This eliminates the extra weight piled into a stack

and possibly gives you more space on a shelve to stack 

and or display your quilts.

Here was my demo station covered with moder quilts!

The quilt hanging in the back is a traditional quilt...

a memory quilt...made from my Mom's House Dresses.

I pieced it and Shirley hand quilted it.

She wanted it to be a special part of the show.

My Plaidish Quilt was an eye catcher

and it ended up as a HUGE topic of discussion...

on how to use up your scraps,

sorting by low, medium and dark values.

A simple method that wont drive you nuts!

The pattern and free tutorial is by Erica Jackman

and you can find it here.

The other table cover was my COLOR DIVE rainbow quilt.

Pattern by Anna Maria Horner and I used mostly Alison Glass fabrics.

I brought several Ghastlie Quilts to "fold" during the demo.

I couldn't believe how many people had NEVER SEEN GHASTLIES!

Oh yes, the traffic was great but 6 hours of demos left

my back muscles sore from folding and feet aching from standing.

I was in my element...talking quilts, scraps, color and Ghastliness1

If you ever need a trunk show or demo...please keep me in mind!
