    Join us in August for our 4th annual Ugly Fabric Auction with our own favorite auctioneer, Caroline Lincoln! 

    THE FABULOUS UGLY FABRIC AUCTION : BE THINKING OF THE CREATIVE WAYS YOU CAN HIDE YOUR UGLY FABRIC DONATION AND ENTICE SOMEONE TO BID ON IT AND BUY IT.  Do be thinking of some fun way to hide your fabric for the sale, (inside a beautiful cookie jar, under a gift wrapped bottle of wine, inside a quilting book or a pair of had knit mittens…or whatever). (Remember: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Don't go buy fabric, take from your stash). This will be our 4th annual auction.  If you haven’t been able to attend, I encourage you to be there, it’s almost too fun!  And it’s a great fundraiser for our guild.  You can then use the  fabrics purchased in the auction to create quilts or other projects to enter in our “Ugly Fabric Challenge.”  Quilts will be revealed and voted on at our January 2025 meeting.  Come join the fun! 

    Please bring cash if possible, though credit cards will also be accepted.

    This will be an In Person only meeting.  Join us at 9:00am for social time, then the meeting which begins at 9:30am. Wear a Name Tag!!

    Laurel Russell: My Quilting Journey--from hand sewing to thread painting

    Laurel’s Mother said to her at the age of 5, “When you can sew a Barbie Doll dress by hand with no errors, you can use my New Singer sewing machine”. So began Laurel’s sewing journey. When she turned 19, Laurel and her grandmother began to share their mutual love for quilting, making more than 300 quilt tops! Before her grandmother’s death, Laurel promised she would quilt all those tops! Come view a sampling of the quilt tops, hear about Laurel’s journey to finish the quilts and her progression into long arm quilting and thread painting.

    This will be an In Person meeting AND on Zoom! Join us at 9:00am for social time, then the meeting which begins at 9:30am. Wear a Name Tag!!

    Members will receive the Zoom link by email for this meeting, which you can watch at the usual time if you are unable to join us in person, but we'll miss you!
