During this presentation and demonstration Sophie Hood of Little Bird Sewing will share some of the history of draping, what it involves, and what it all looks like! Ask questions and delve into the world of draping!

Connecting With Our Ancestors - Quilting By Hand - with Martha Keagle
- Oct 17, 2026 10:00 am
Even if you don't plan to incorporate hand quilting into your regular sewing practice it will open your eyes to see and feel the process that was used by our ancestors to make quilts. Recently, this technique (a rocking stitch in a flat frame) has been added to the Red List of Endangered Crafts by the Heritage Crafts Association. As this skill continues to drop out of circulation you will be doing a small part of keeping this skill alive just by having some knowledge of the history and process. While the thought of hand quilting is daunting to some, once the simple technique is mastered, it's quite relaxing, and when performed properly, is not taxing for most hands. In the class you will learn how the right tools (fabric, batting, needles, thread, thimbles and quilting hoops/frames) all contribute to small even stitches.
