Such a fantastic lecture by Krista Hennebury

1/3/2021

Krista presented her lecture about where she looks for inspiration and creativity and explained how these can be found all around us.

Enter challenges, participate in swaps, use colours you wouldn't normally select, try improv piecing, attend quilts shows, read books, look to nature, make quilts for a cause- all of these will make us better, more creative quilters.

In this photo-rich presentation, Krista shares simple yet effective strategies that have worked for her in the search for a unique creative voice while remaining connected to inspiration sources like print and social media, quilt shows, conferences, local quilts shops and guilds.

Our Texture Quilting Workshop with Christina Cameli was fantastic!

12/15/2020

Christina Cameli's workshop with our guild was wonderful!  She seems very comfortable delivering the class in this new on-line format, with cameras set up featuring her sewing machine so we could see her quilting, a full-on view and a connection to her drawing device.  Managing all these views is tricky enough on your own, and for our time zone, it was really early for her!

She led us through highlights of her book, "Step by Step Texture Quilting" and we had ample time to try out the quilting designs on our machines.  Her feedback was helpful, thoughtful and encouraging. 
These sample photos are from some of our class participants and guild members. 

Thanks again to Christina for an engaging workshop!  More info about Christina and her quilting can be found here>

Modern Memory Quilts November Trunk Show and Workshop

10/28/2020

0 Comments

 
We had such an inspiring weekend with Suzanne Paquette!
Friday night was her trunk show where we learned what brought Suzanne to making memory quilts, heard all about the families in her book and saw a slide show of her quilts.  We also had a special guest, Mitali who gave us the history about some of the saris used for her memory quilt including one that had been worn for 3 generations spanning over 100 years. 

Saturday was our workshop where we learned how to interview families to know what is the reason behind them wanting a memory quilt, what clothing is important to them and what they want the finished quilt to look like.

We also learned how to select clothing, prepare and cut the clothing and then we all designed and arranged our fabrics for our quilt tops.  Some of us even got the first little bit sewn together.  

Suzanne also talked about finishing our quilts so future generations can enjoy such a loving family heirloom.
​
Such an inspiring 2 days, thank you so much Suzanne for your knowledge and expertise!
Have you ever wanted to make a memory quilt but didn't know where to start?  
​Do you have some keepsake clothing you didn't know what to do with?  These events are for you!
