Program

June Program Event

Laura F did a demo 5″x5” inspiration quilts to spur creativity. She encouraged members to use things from their day, their travels, or things they experience. Laura did an impromptu design representing the guild, very colorful. She had her 5×5 neutral square with batting behind it, and then a backing 1/2 inch bigger. She demonstrated using glue to adhere the fabric to her square. Once she had all the pieces glued down, she used veriegated thread and sewed in a random patten. She wrapped the backing around for a border, then used some yarn to add texture, and sewed that down. It is a great way to use scraps and use creative energy to put something together over time. Thank you, Laura!

Door Prize

Kelly D won the beautiful bag that was made by Laura.
5 raffle prizes were also given out to both in person and online participants.

Show & Share

Many people shared lovely quilts during Show & Share, including several that were sewed for Charity. Such a talented and passionate group of quilters!
