Too Cool T-shirt Quilts with Andrea Funk
In 1992, Andrea Funk set out to reinvent the T-shirt quilt and did just that. She pioneered the use of multi size blocks, eliminated iron on interfacing to make a ‘puzzle’ style T-shirt quilt, and developed bold Ultra Modern t-shirt quilts that removed square and rectangle blocks altogether. Andrea will regal us with examples of her work and will share stories of what she has learned through decades of designing and making T-shirt quilts. Some of you may remember Andrea as a former member of the guild.
