March 9 Meeting: Heirloom Quilts
A blast from the past! Explore the rich history of quilting with Sunnie Malesky as she shares her trunk show of Heirloom quilts from the mid 1800’s through the mid 1900’s. Sunnie started to quilt by designing a baby quilt for a friend. Halfway through the project, she decided to buy a book and find out what to do! Since then, she has pieced an appliquéd too many quilts to count, which accounts for the large number of scrap containers in her studio. She has taught throughout Florida at shops and guilds, and in several stated including the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. Sunnie is currently the newsletter editor for the SSQA SunRays.
