Backstitch Gathering #7: A Quilt that takes Flight- putting the backing on the community quilt
February 10 | 2:30-4:30pm

Our final gathering will center around retracing as we chalk over the pathwork we’ve sewn in order to map out hand stitching pathways that will bind the top of the quilt to the back. A circle of stitchers will work together to put the finishing touches on this durational community project that will be featured in the SMUSH Gallery’s spring fiber show, as one project (re)cycles into the next. 

Sewing + fiber art skills you’ll learn:

  • Backing a quilt

  • Hand sewing

  • Machine sewing

  • Celebrating a project’s completion
