A Message from our President
I’m excited about
the coming year and programs we have planned. Our members are working hard on
a number of projects that will benefit the community. If you are not a member of
the guild, please feel free to come to one our meetings to check us out.
Workshop: Carol Johnson & Ida Phillips (Village Quilt Guild
members)
·February
9 lecture – “Group Quilts – Friendship Quilts & Other Group
Projects”
Melanie Harman’s program is meant to inspire like-minded
individuals interested in making a
group quilt. She will highlight Friendship Quilts and their
history, as well as Round Robin Quilts
(e.g., block to block, row by row, same block, add a block)
and other projects where multiple
people work on the same quilt. A show-and-tell will provide
a visual to explain the various kinds
of Friendship and other group quilts. The process of doing
Friendship quilting is to strengthen
friendships, grow in your sewing capabilities as you try
things you have not attempted before, and
have a one-of-a-kind quilt.

February 9 workshop – “Quick Beginner Table Runner”
Carol Johnson and Ida Phillips will provide instruction for
making a simple, make-and-take table
runner top using three contrasting, but complementary,
fabrics. The half-day workshop will also
include time for a sit-and-sew.
Cost: No class fee
