    Julia McLeod will be presenting Everything But Cotton. Let’s explore the world of quilts that were made with what she calls Not cottons. When quilters don’t have access to a stash of quilter’s cotton, what do they turn to? This one hour lecture, trunk show and Q & A session shows quilts - antique and modern - made of wool, silk, polyester and more. The trunk show of her own work shows what you can create with neck ties , saris, kimonos and other unusual not cotton textiles. juliamcleodquilts.com
