Sustainable Fabrics & Bubble Ball 
Sustainable Fabrics, Rachel Burke
This Sustainable Fabrics presentation will provide quilters and sewists with a basic toolkit to navigate fabric choices in a more environmentally aware way. Our conversation will touch on the environmental impact of Polyester, Cotton, Linen, Tencel, and Hemp. Rachel Burke is an Education Coordinator for Green Iowa AmeriCorps. She is a sewist, a lover of fabric, and an artist at heart. Frustrated by the Fabric Industry's lack of transparency regarding their environmental impact, Rachel set out to learn the basics of sustainable fabric choices. 
Bubble Ball, DeAnn Hebert & Jil Severson
