Phillipa came to us from England and was such a delight to listen to. She entertained us with many interesting stories of her life in England as well as the 15 years she spent in Saudi Arabia. She is a renowned quilter who has won many awards at national quilt competitions here in the U.S. as well as world wide. She teaches all over the world and had many exciting techniques to show us.
Philippa taught her curved piecing method to 20 ladies who signed up for her all day class held Tuesday.
Everyone in the class really appreciated her expert instruction and hands on approach.
Philippa brought with her two of her famous quilts and we loved the chance
for a close up look at her work. Her whole cloth quilt called Flower Power features her unique embroidered trapunto quilting. She quilts all her quilts on her domestic sewing machine.
