Laurel presents an overview of appliqué history (including an 1850s-style appliqué quilt and a surprising story of the invention of the sewing machine!), as well as her personal appliqué journey.

She’ll discuss changes in styles and how they evolved with the fortunes of our country. She’ll also cover the progression of appliqué methods and her own exploration of those techniques. Find out more about Laurel and see more of her work here.
