Amy Butler’s Tea and Trunk Show
At the Stitchin’ Post
$20 includes hearty appetizers
Monday, May 12 5:30 – 8 pm

“I think that in everything we do, in every style of life, there is art to be found. Not just in the studios of talented artists, but in the gardens, homes, relationships, spirits, voices and fashions of people you see every day.” Excerpt from Amy Butler’s book Midwest Modern – a fresh design spirit for the modern lifestyle.

Join us for a rare opportunity to meet Amy Butler, one of this country’s most talented fabric designers and authors. Amy will be here to sign her new book, show you her latest fabric designs, home accessories and fashion items, along with paper and stationery products that are licensed and sold worldwide. She will also give us a glimpse of how she does her craft and what inspires her.
