One Hundred Small Quilts
This program is a trunk show of about 125 small quilts I have made and collected over the past three decades. The small quilts offer a perspective on changing styles, techniques and fabrics over the years.
They tell the story of one quilter’s journey from Nebraska 4-H member to quilt industry professional. I use the quilts to share tips on fabric and color selection, design ideas, quilting inspiration and more.

This program works best if the audience can gather in closely to see the quilts. It’s least effective in a large auditorium, so please keep this in mind.
Sometimes I can help you adjust your accommodations so that everything works well. One Hundred Small Quilts gets rave reviews!

There are many different techniques represented. These Hanky Panky quilts are very popular and make a great class to go along with the program.

I credit this idea to Cindy Brick, who wrote Hanky Panky Crazy Quilts. Over time I have developed my own methods for making them, and they are so much fun!

I’d love to share more than one hundred of my smallest treasures with your quilt group. Let’s make a date!
