May Membership Meeting

  Join us for the last Zoom meeting (for a while) on May 11 at 7:00pm 

Carla Klop learned to quilt by hand around 1976 and for the next 30 years completed a quilt per year. It was not until discovering the rotary cutter, that her ideas went wild. She developed shortcut methods to speed up her time. These methods are now published in a binder along with patterns and tips.

Carla has created 100+ patterns, many which use her techniques. She has been published 4 times in the American Quilter magazine and has had featured patterns with some of Northcott’s fabric collections. 

In this hour long presentation, Carla shares the accidental path she took to go from Quilter to Designer. She has many quilts to show, all created over the past few years.

April Membership meeting

 Last night's Zoom through members' sewing studios was fun, informative and only available on Zoom.  The program, produced by Karen P and Becky S and directed by Sue Y and Becky S, starred Fran H ,Joyce S,  Karen P, Barb Z, Lynn S, Sue Y, Becky T. 

The presentation was so successful and  inspiring there is talk of doing a part 2, perhaps in January or February when we don't meet in person due to weather concerns.  Start thinking of what part of  YOUR studio you can share. Special or unique tools, racks to keep thread, rulers, and feet in their handy places, and pattern corralling ideas, for example,. are struggles for many of us.  How can you help?

If you missed the meeting, watch the presentation here but understand that most of the brilliance was that the studio owners talked us through our visit.
