Guild members, sign up with Lenore if you are willing to stitch in public. Times run from 10AM to 4PM, so if you can come for an hour (or two) and stitch some blocks, put on a binding, baste a quilt, make a walker bag or dignity protector, you may inspire someone to get started on their project and maybe join the guild!
Interested in quilting? Stop by and talk to the stitchers in the Schlow Community Room from 10 - 4. Quilters love to talk about what they are working on!
In case you missed the February Zoom meeting, here is the link to our recording
How do you organize your sewing
space, fabric, sewing stuff? An open-ended discussion with member participation.
Join us on February 19th in person at Pine Hall Lutheran Church in State College at 1PM for a fun idea exchange. Bring along any tools you use that are not from a quilt shop. Too big to carry? Bring a photo! Share any ideas you have for something from the hardware store or the dollar store that work as well or better than a regular sewing tool, or fit a special purpose!
Come to the Guild Board Meeting on Valentine's morning at 10AM at Blue Course Community Church. This is also UFO Friday, so bring along your sewing if you'd like to just listen in. Ideas and input are always welcomed!
Join us on Tuesday, February 11th, to share your tips and tricks for getting and staying organized in your quilting room. Need some help? Maybe someone else has that idea you need to rein in the chaos! Social time starts at 6:30PM with the meeting beginning at 7PM. ZOOM link will be in Beth's Sunday email.
From PeggyT:
Here's a sample of a big 'crazy quilt block" from the scraps you ended up with at the luncheon. I did use a couple of 2 1/2 inch strips to pull some parts together. No rhyme or reason at all, just slapping material together. If enough people decide to experiment, in a couple of months, I'll collect any big pieces that are finished and somehow put them together into a quilt top.

Schlow library has requested us to create 4 panels 20x20 that will be joined together to make a 40x40 "fidget quilt" for 6-15 month-olds. The first meeting will be January 15, from 1-3PM at Pine Hall Lutheran Church (PHL) for those interested in participating. There will be no regular CPQG meeting that day due to the January luncheon. Please come with ideas. Lenore will have pictures of what the current mats look like. We will divide into groups for creation. The goal is to have something to donate by April. If you are unable to attend Jan 15, but wish to participate, please let Lenore know. They won't complain if we make additional panels.
