Tucked inside closets around the world are antique quilt tops that were never finished. This lecture will inspire you to dig out those old tops and give them new life by quilting them on your longarm or domestic machine. Veteran researcher and quiltmaker Teresa Duryea Wong will share tips on how to get started, plus and the ins and outs of working with these long forgotten and fragile tops. Teresa will share tips for preparing each quilt top for the machine and the best free-motion stitching motifs to honor the original patchwork. After finishing some 30 antique/vintage quilt tops, Teresa has thought deeply about how she has forever changed these objects and based on her experience and research, she will add new insight into the age-old debate on whether altering an antique destroys value or creates value. www.teresaduryeawong.com
