Granma's Workshop
Anything is possible with a little creativity!
In 2004, I was fortunate enough to be awarded the International Machine Quilters Association grant. I spent it wisely on a private class with Karen McTavish at her home in Duluth MN. I learned how do design and quilt whitework quilts. The example on this page is my first student piece. I am now totally in love with this trapunto method. And I am able to design a wonderful trapunto heirloom for my customers.
