Combining collage, fine appliqué, and fine quilting, broderie perse, also known as cut-out chintz appliqué, presents a high point in the art of quilting and deserves the admiration and attention of all who appreciate fine needlework. The technique emerged in the late eighteenth century when chintz fabrics were very expensive and only the very wealthy could afford whole cloth bed coverings made from large pieces of chintz. By cutting motifs out of a small amount of fabric, the quilter could rearrange them onto a large field of inexpensive plain cotton to imitate the designs on larger fabrics. Plain cream or white fields filled by fine quilting surround the trees, floral sprays, wreaths, urns, birds, and baskets appliquéd with tiny whip, buttonhole, or reverse buttonhole stitches. The style, which was very popular in the Middle Atlantic States and the South into the 1840s, largely disappeared after the 1850s.

A trunk show showcasing the work to date of noted quilt artist Barbara W. Barber, author of Broderie Perse: The Elegant Quilt. Says Barber of her multifaceted work: "I am drawn to many quilt techniques. My theory is; apply whatever technique is available to produce, in fabric, the idea, picture, dream, that I have within. Thus my quilts run the gamut from exquisite broderie perse and time consuming productions to the instant gratification of fusible web. Of late, I have added painted quilts to my repertoire. My quilts are large, small, humorous, reverent, irreverent, and reveal much more about me than I'd like to admit. As I share the quilts, so also will I share their stories; every quilt has one! Come and see for yourself."

Join us on Sunday, September 26 at 1:00 PM for a lecture and exclusive trunk show of unique clothing made from textiles from around the world presented by Ellen London, founder and creative director of Firefly Designs Africa Asia (www.fireflyafricaasia.com). We'll be serving mimosas and delicious brunch treats, so bring a friend and make it a girls' day out! Ellen, who has traveled to and lived in cultures around the globe, will talk about global textiles at the show, bringing with her samples of the fabrics. She tells us: "Personally, I've always been intrigued by the possibilities of mixing and joining textures, fabrics and patterns into wearable art." Starting out by making jackets for herself, she got so many compliments that she founded Firefly Designs. Her designs are available only through her website and at trunk sales such as the one at NEQM. Firefly Designs is especially sensitive to women who are difficult to "fit" and/or impress! If you don't find that perfect piece, custom orders can be placed at the show. A percentage of proceeds from the show will benefit NEQM. Admission is $25 for NEQM members, $35 for non-members; pre-registration is required by phoning 978-452-4207, ext. 16.
