Laura Piland (Slice of Pi)
"Try Something New"
Just after finishing her very first quilt almost 12 years ago, Laura decided she would try something new with every quilt I made. She's made well over 400 quilts since then, and she still loves the thrill of trying new things! Every quilt in this show features a unique and different technique. Bias tape applique, fabric weaving, quilt as you go, prairie points, and 3-D elements are just a few of the many examples included in the show. Be prepared to be inspired and leave ready to try something new in your next quilt!
