Speaker: Gretchen Schultz

"Bed Turning of Antique Quilts"

​

     Our own local expert on all matters related to quilting.  Gretchen has been a co-owner of the Quilt Foundry, a multi-year member of the Gathering of Quilters and the Glass City Quilt Commission, and the Chairman of the Kaleidoscope Quilt Show. She is presently Vice President of Ohio Quilts!!, a statewide quilting organization, and a member of the Midwest Fabric Study Group.  Gretchen regularly appraises quilts and accepts commissions to repair vintage quilts.

​

     Gretchen has vast and interesting collection of vintage and antique sewing tools, quilts in all stages of completion, and sewn items such as aprons and kitchen linens.  Gretchen has a unique “super power”.  She can look at a sample of fabric, and tell what decade it was made – very impressive!
