Trillium:\n(n) tril\u00b7\u200bli\u00b7\u200bum | \\ \u02c8tri-l\u0113-\u0259m  \\  a plant with a solitary three-petaled\nflower above a whorl of three leaves, native to North American and Asia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When friends, quilters, and business partners, Dee and Pam, set out to begin a quilt supplies business, they chose as their business name a feature of their community. Living in the Pacific Northwest, the trillium flower represents the first sign of Spring and hope. They had hope that their business would be successful\u2014and that hope has been fulfilled!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pam has since left the business, and Dee’s best friend, Robin, has joined her, expanding the original business model to include primitive rug hooking and raw edge Batik applique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sets The Quilted Trillium <\/a>apart in the world of applique is the technique they use. \u201cIt is a gift to our customers.\u201d Because of technology, they are able to offer a technique that incorporates a fusible (they only use one brand), and a little glue. Pattern pieces are first finger pressed on, then ironed. There is absolutely no tracing involved!! Robin and Dee call it Raw Applique<\/em>, a form of handwork that requires some cutting, some ironing, and a little sewing after all the pieces are in place. \u201cIt\u2019s like painting by numbers.\u201d  <\/em>It took them a couple of years to develop their process and then to design their own patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is The Quilted Trillium\u2019s favorite tool to use with their special technique? Kai Scissors <\/a> Omnigrid 4″ Needlecraft Scissors. \u201cThey are the best on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Besides Road\nto California, The Quilted Trillium only visits 5 -6 regional quilting shows a\nyear. They attribute their big following of customers to coming to visit them\nin their booth at these shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Their \u201ccozy,\nlittle cabin\u201d is always a fan favorite. Coming up with the idea for their booth\nhas been \u201clife changing\u201d for The Quilted Trillium. Their booth is small enough\nto feel comfortable and is the perfect size for displaying their kits, patterns,\nfabric and tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are\nalways telling The Quilted Trillium that they sought them out specifically to\nsee the cabin and experience the \u201cArt Gallery\u201d feel. Then they stay for the\ndemonstrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Robin and\nDee also hear a lot of comments how much customers like the \u201csquishy\u201d floor of\nthe booth.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Road to\nCalifornia 2020-25th<\/sup> Anniversary Show will be the third time The Quilted\nTrillium will be at the show. For Robin who grew up in the San Fernando Valley\nof Southern California, Road \u201cfeels like coming home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
