Come and explore the world of miniature quilts. Have you wanted to learn what exactly a miniature quilt is? Perhaps you are confused about the difference between a small quilt and a miniature quilt? During this up close and personal trunk show the audience will be equipped with gloves and then will get the chance to hold and examine each of my miniature pieces of art. The audience will also learn the tools of the trade that are needed to make these quilts. This show is a must see for any quilter.
