This is a collection of Education Opportunities and "This and That" information to be shared with our members and other quilters. Regardless of our skill levels there is always something to share and learn. This information is intended for personal use only. Happy Quilting!



Next TRAINING -




18 November - 08:30am - 2:30pm


Join Peggy K and JoAnn V for a class on Wednesday, November 18, 8:30-2:30. We’ll share several techniques to turn a sweatshirt into a quilted jacket.


Supplies: a sweatshirt 2 sizes bigger than you usually wear, because the quilting and construction techniques make it smaller. Prewash and dry on hot to preshrink. Your quilt fabric can be a charm pack, jelly roll, scraps, or orphan blocks. If you choose a dark sweatshirt, it is best to choose dark fabrics. For lighter, brighter fabrics, choose a lighter color sweatshirt. Hobby Lobby has several colors on the back wall. Watch for a sale and save!


Please sign up at the guild. No charge for the class.



Future workshops are in the planning – dates to be determined after the move:


1. Embrilliance software with Vicky K. Intro to using computer software to enhance your machine embroidery. If you don’t have Embrilliance, you are welcome to join us and “watch over someone’s shoulder” to see if you want to purchase it. No charge


2. A repeat of the class how to make a badge holder. See Mary R. for a kit and pattern. Cost $5. You will need a little fabric of your own. No charge for workshop just for the supply kit.


3. Cute pincushions. Samples will be available soon.



Any questions contact JoAnn V. Visit the guild or check out our newsletter for more info.
