Fabric artist Gail Williamson will share her expertise on embellishing quilts and applying unique designs and stitches for old quilts as well as creating new quilts. Gail has had her work displayed in numerous shows including her show at the Oldham County History Center in 2004. Williamson uses religious themes in her work and has studied extensively in Italy.

The workshop will be held at the Oldham County History Center on Saturday, December 9 from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m and includes lunch. Cost is $8 for members and $10 for non-members.
