Meet Peggy Forster!

 

Peggy started quilting with Georgia Bonsteel's first show on WUNC. When everyone in her family had a bed quilt, she switched to wall art quilts.  Not willing to repeat the same process over and over, she looked for inspiration wherever it could be found. Her work is a mix of various methods and is constantly evolving.  She will present her creative projects this week:  Thursday 7pm, Friday 10am, Saturday 10am.  No registration required! $3.50

 

We welcome sewers of all kinds and all brands to meet Peggy!
