mark. She is a creative spirit and uses fun techniques to express her
ideas. Fabric paint, fabric pens, applique, bobbin work, foil, stamping, inks, glitter, couching -
all of these and more - make her projects unique and beautiful. Trish
works with wall art and wearables alike. She’ll teach us her tips, tricks
and techniques - and display her trunk show. PLUS she'll
demonstrate the awesome new needlepunch machines.
