Village Quilt Guild 1988 – 2008 ![]() The Opportunity Quilt Click here for details International Quilt Association Finalist in Houston show in October Shamrock
I was inspired by an Old Farmer's Almanac
calendar. The quilt is painted, thread painted, appliquéd and
quilted by machine. Materials: Cottons, Jacquard fabric Paint, poly,
rayon metallic threads. I
started this quilt in the Spring and finished it in early
Summer. Sometimes you select a subject or pattern and it takes forever
to "make it work". This quilt just fell together for me.
The International Quilt Association accepted it as a finalist for
the Ruth Ann Yax
February Meeting
Feb. 11, 2010 Our
February speaker is Sally Schneider and her lecture is
"Confessions of a Scrap Maniac" Sally is a wonderful speaker and a
great teacher. She will have a full day class on Friday February 12
on Pinwheel Stars. This is a fun quilt or table runner that
you can make with your stash of 2 1/2" jelly roll strips. You'll
learn to make half-square triangles from strips, two ways to do
Mary's triangles, folded corners and Sally will talk about several
ways to make pieced sashing that adds complexity to your design
without adding difficulty stitching. You'll be amazed at how simple
it is. Contact Sharon Juarez (922-1966) to sign up and get your
supply list. There is some precutting prior to class so it will help
if you get the list early.
