Reception for Patchwork Pals quilters held at CCAC
Joyce Laffe talks about her quilt “Midnight Bling” at an artist’s reception at the CCAC on Friday. Laffe said the black metallic fabric “definitely makes this quilt shine.” She used two layers of batting, 80/20 poly and 100 percent wool to provide extra loft to enhance the quilting.
