Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill speaking at our January meeting
Timna Tarr will be giving a workshop on March 18th. There are several spots still available so we are opening it up to non guild members, if you have a friend or belong to another guild please spread the word.
Making Maps with Fabric:
Use fabric to capture a special location. Maybe it’s your favorite vacation spot, your neighborhood, or your hometown. Over the course of the workshop, participants learn both pattern-making and improvisational quilting techniques to create personal map quilts. Bring a large paper map of a location you would like to replicate (approx. 24”x36”), your favorite fabrics and threads, and a willingness to experiment.
The April workshop with Cindy Grisdela is full but contact me if you want to put your name on the waiting list.
May 19th we have Beth Helfter, of EvaPaige Quilt Designs teaching us Accordion Sewn HSTs. This project uses Beth’s Accordion Sewn HST method for making scrappy half square triangles with no waste. Scrappy is the key word. Come join us!
