Upcoming Guild Meetings & Programs
The September 2023 guild meeting is Tuesday the 19th from 6:30-9:00PM (see "Meetings" for location and Zoom details).
Frances Moore will be speaking on “Never Say Never… Life Lessons From Quilting” (In Person).
"Sewing most of my life, I discovered quilting while looking for a garment pattern. That little vest changed my life. Unable to afford sending my quilts out, I took a free motion quilting class and was immediately hooked. I started teaching the next year. While I do not come from a family of quilters they are very supportive and just ignore the stacks of quilt related items everywhere."

Sept 23, 2023 Workshop “Really Free Free-Motion Quilting” (In Person).
In this class free motion quilting is approached from a improv perspective. You will practice several beginner motifs without marking. Some will be combined to create more complex motifs. In addition to the practice I will discuss thread, needles, tools, design, tension, troubleshooting to help you be successful with free motion quilting. I will bring many smaller projects that demonstrate the pure magic of free motion. |
