About this Event

Ever thought of quilting but didn’t know where to start? Is finding quilting supplies getting in the way of you and your new hobby?

Just bring yourselves to the Old Bakery and Emporium, where you will be provided with supplies and learn the step-by-step process used by quilt artist Annette Kennedy to create stunning pictorial quilts.

By the end of the workshop, you will learn how to turn photos into patterns, construct quilts using raw-edge fusing, and use fabric paint to add visual depth and detail!

Wild and Woven: Two Perspectives in Contemporary Art Quilting will be on display in the Old Bakery's Fine Art Gallery from August 22nd - October 26th, 2026. Contrasting realism and abstraction, the exhibition showcases the forte of Annette Kennedy and Sherri Lipman McCauley. Using paint on fabric, each artist expresses their vision and creativity. The works explore the contrast of artistry.
