Inspired by cloth storybooks for children, create a quilted story that invites playful interaction. Design and screenprint a hidden illustration on fabric that can be magically revealed with a zipper. Learn how to insert a zipper and piece together a patchwork of fabrics using foundational hand-sewing and decorative stitch techniques.

Organized in conjunction with Jesse Krimes: Elegy Quilts
