Sharron Armel has created a technique class titled " New Tricks."  She describes it as an easy way to make Card Trick blocks.  She says it is easy because: 

• Some of the fabric can be precut to 2 1/2" strips
• No marking is required
• Very few bias seams
• There is a little room for error
  

I'm always open for a new, improved way to make a block and this method sounds like a big improvement!

This Class will explore different ways of constructing flying geese.  It will help you identify which method you enjoy and which methods yields accurate units.  Materials and patterns will be provided for blocks to use in a community quilt.  This class is for guild members of any skill level.  The class supply list can be found at Methods Class Flying Geese.docx

Cheryl Brickey's day job is pretty impressive!  She is an engineer and patent agent for a private textile and chemical company!  Somehow, she found the time and energy to take those skills and combine them with her "craftiness" to create her own quilt pattern company, Meadow Mist Designs.  Cheryl's story reminds us that sometimes it's those little things we do that set us off on an entirely new and rewarding path.  I believe you will enjoy the story of her journey!

We welcome Candy Grisham back from Missouri!  Her program for us this month is about our "Tools of the Trade" for quilting and sewing. Have you ever needed something on a Sunday and your quilt store wasn't open?  Did you know that some of the tools we use are available at Big Box stores near you that are open 7 days a week?  Candy will tell us about what she has found out there and where it is.  This information could certainly come in handy and could even save us some money!

This workshop opens for registration on July 15, 2024.

Candy Grisham has a new workshop for us and she calls it her Fun Fabulous Mystery Quilt.  She was kind enough to give me a sneak peak and I agree, it IS Fabulous and looks like it will be fun to put together.  My biggest issue with mystery quilts is that I often don't like the colors that were chosen for the quilt.   Candy has taken that problem out of the equation.  You select a layer cake (10" squares), two accent colors and a background so you are bound to love the colors!  Candy is an excellent instructor and her classes are always fun!  Join us for the last workshop of 2024!

NOTE:  You will need to cut your fabrics BEFORE class using the cutting instructions below.
