Sustainable Quilting Unveiled

Quilting has always been about resourcefulness. From scrap quilts made during hard times to family heirlooms stitched from worn-out clothes, fabric has carried stories far beyond its first use. In today’s world, that tradition feels more urgent than ever.

Sustainable Quilting Unveiled is an online guest lecture designed to spark inspiration and offer practical tools for quilters who want to align their craft with eco-conscious living. Together, we’ll explore how forgotten, free, or secondhand fabrics can transform your quilting practice into one that is both deeply creative and environmentally responsible.
