Patricia Knoechel, nationally known quilter from California did a trunk show and quilting demonstration at St. Paul Lutheran Church, South Union Avenue, Alliance, Ohio on Monday, June 2, 2008 at 7 pm. The trunk show and demonstration open to the public was a great success. Patricia has been involved in quilting, quilt book publication and development of quilting rulers and tools since the early 1980's. She has worked closely with her sister, nationally know quilter Eleanor Burns, on various 'Quilt In A Day' books and also as a public relations person for both her company and Eleanor's company by traveling the country giving demonstrations. Her newest release "Victory Quilts" is about 1940s sampler quilts. Patricia demonstrated how the quilts are made and showed samples of the new fabric line created for the
                        "Victory Quilts". To see photos of her demonstrations and "Victory Quilts".
