Happy September!
What an interesting and busy summer! At the time of this writing, Shonda Powell is preparing to teach the September 11 & 12 class, Metro Rings. There has been a lot of excitement with fabric selection, so we look forward to seeing beautiful creations!
The Mystery offered in July is well underway, with Clues emailed twice a month. If anyone is still interested in participating, please let us know.
There will be a short, very informative, and the neatest Educational Demonstration at the end of the October meeting, before lunch. You will not want to miss what Rachel Grossl is going to share!
The Education Committee continues to be very busy. We have three (3) teachers scheduled for next summer, 2027:
- Cyndi McChesney, award-winning quilter and teacher (and author of three books) from Colorado, will be teaching a two (2) day class June 4 & 5, with a Trunk Show Friday night. Friday’s workshops include: Six (6) Tips for Creating an Amazing Panel Quilt and Mastering the Fundamentals of Panel Quilt Design. Saturday’s session will be Choosing Your Own Adventure, using your own panel. Class fee: $100/student.
- Nancy Mathew, local teacher, will be teaching a one (1) day class on August 14. The Saturday class will be Mango Tango, learning an amazing technique for making quarter-circle curves edged in flanges. A table runner or quilt will be your option. The pattern gives three (3) quilt sizes. Class fee: $40/student.
- Patty Billingsley, Certified Stripology Ruler Instructor for GE Designs, will be teaching a two (2) day class September 10 & 11. Friday’s workshop is Master Your Stripology Rulers, learning new tips and techniques. It will also include a small table-topper project. Saturday’s session will be the Hera Quilt pattern, one of the new GE Designs with endless layout options and five (5) sizes available. Class fee: $90/student.
We are really excited about the three (3) classes and plan to have pictures/patterns/books available to see at the October meeting. We hope to have signup sheets as well.
Thank you. We appreciate all your support. See you soon!
