MAY UPDATE


We had a beautiful sunny day for our workshop with Patsy Thompson. It was held at the Nordson Depot.It were only a small group of participants, but we learned a lot. It was like having a private instructor for machine quilting. Patsy was a good teacher and very prepared with lots of samples. She had notebooks full of quilting examples and she brought a lot of her beautiful quilts. Our next program is community service baby quilts and the Baby quilt Challenge. In July is Gayle Pritchard

JUNE PROGRAM

GLAD TO BE MAKING QUILTS AND NOT BABIES - Baby Quilt Challenge

This Challenge is different than prior challenges because the quilts will be going to community service. But there will still be ribbons and prizes awarded as in the other challenges.

Rules:

  • No larger than 50" to a side and no smaller than 36" to a side.
  • Your quilt can be square or rectangular
  • Novelty fabric or baby print fabric of 100" cottons or flannels can be used
  • Your quilt may be tied, but cut the tails short so that they don't wind around little fingers.

Bring your machine and an extension cord and help piece tops, or bring a needle appropriate for tying quilts.

See you in June!!!
