Finding Pride and Joy in Quilting

Veruschka delves deeply into her personal journey through the art of quilting. Beginning with traditional quilting practices, she will explore her evolution into designing intricate, large-scale Foundation Paper Pieced (FPP) quilts and patterns.

She will cover a range of foundational topics in FPP, including insights gained from her own experimentation in design, the essential elements for successful pattern drafting, common pitfalls to avoid, and practical tips and techniques to enhance FPP skills. Additionally, she will discuss modern approaches to color and fabric selection, strategies for minimizing bulk, and other advanced techniques vital to creating quality quilts.

Veruschka’s presentation style is highly interactive, allowing ample opportunities for attendees to pose questions tailored to their interests. She will complement these discussions with live demonstrations illustrating key concepts and a curated trunk show featuring select quilt pieces.
