A Plethora of Upcoming events!

 Whether you are a quilter, a knitter, a seamstress, or just a purveyor of fine textile, there is something coming up sure to inspire you! Take a look:

Lake Raystown Retreat

Lake Raystown resort in Huntingdon,PA

 

Come for the length of stay that suits you best:
Wednesday–Sunday, Thursday–Sunday, or Friday–Sunday (April 9–12).

No matter which option you choose, you'll enjoy cozy gathering time, inspiration from fellow makers, and being able to settle into a crafting groove.

Most of the time, people spend time working on projects that require days of concentrated, uninterrupted work. You’ll get meals served to you, and then you can go right back to work without having to clean up!

Calling all quilters! Your experience is needed!

 We've all encountered 'challenges' with our sewing machines - needles breaking, the dreaded bobbin bird nest, shredding thread, wonky stitches . . . and many other annoying occurrences. On Tuesday, February 10th, you can share what has helped you and maybe learn a few things from other guild members!  Think of it: can you imagine the total years of experience and collective knowledge we have in our guild?!

⭐Tune in to the Centre Pieces Quilt Guild ZOOM MEETING on Tuesday, February 10th at 6:30pm⭐

Understanding Bobbin and Solving machine issues when stitches are uneven. The        discussion will focus on problem-solving!  Bring your experience.

The lunches were delicious!

Barn quilt trails

 With the break in the weather, it is easy to start thinking about summer vacations! What better way to enjoy the beauty of quilts along the way than following a barn quilt trail. I found a website that helps search for barn quilts along your path.  On my frequent trips from Warren to State College, I knew that I was halfway to my destination when I spotted the barn quilt on route 219 outside of Brandy Camp PA. Of course if you've been to Penns Valley, you've seen the beautiful barn quilt on the Homan barn across from Dunkin' Donuts!

Where in your journeys have you been surprised by a barn quilt?
