Richmond Cultural Centre Annex + Zoom
7700 Minoru Gate
and Online
2pm
Free. Presented by TAGOR (Textile Arts Guild Of Richmond). Join Carola Russell for an entertaining look into her life with scraps. If you love scraps more than yardage you’ll love her improvisational approach to making scraps disappear and quilted items appear, so many quilts, wall hangings, table runners and textile art. Nothing is more fun than being challenged to make something beautiful or silly from leftovers. Carola will share her ideas, tips, tricks and techniques while giving a lively trunk show of her work. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to shop in Carola’s Pop-up store.
