Linda James will present a program and workshop on the Dresden Plate block and its variations.

Although the Dresden plate block has been around for a long time, it has experienced a rebirth and transformation.  If you like traditional, modern or dramatic quilt style, Dresden plates can be your next exciting quilt block.  The program will include many pictures and some quilts showing the many looks of a Dresden plate.

Dresden Plate Workshop (12-4pm Our Saviour Lutheran Church). The workshop will focus on construction, including tips and tricks to make them lay flat, innovative settings, variations, ways to attach (no appliqué required) and suggestion for quilting.

Update: The Workshop is now full. Please contact Patti Cifelli (patticifelli22@gmail.com) or Leslie Rose (leslierose@nc.rr.com) if you wish to be on the waitlist.

Lynn Christiansen of Emerald Falls Quilts will take the audience on a creative journey inspired by a trip down the Rhine River. This presentation showcases the quilts A Viking View, Castor's Light, Dutch Porcelain, and the Rhine River Sampler detailing how the stunning landscapes, medieval castles, and historic towns along the Rhine River influenced the design and composition of the piece.
