We now have a Facebook page and an Instagram
account. Look for “Triad Modern Quilt
Guild”.
Thanks Bethany!
Volunteer Opportunities -
Remember our community Outreach project – lap quilts for
Senior Services. We are looking for pieces
sized about 40” x 60”. Sewingly Yours
will donate time on their longarm for quilting them. Please consider making at least a top. Volunteers can be found to assist with
quilting and binding, if needed.
The Ventura Modern Quilt Guild has asked volunteers to
make quilt blocks for the fire victims.
Their requested pattern is here - http://www.venturamodernquiltguild.com/2017/12/11/thomas-fire-blocks/
If you wish to make a block, please bring it to the February
meeting.
Future meetings –
In February we will host Teresa Conrad, of Sewingly Yours,
who will talk about using quilting techniques in garment sewing.
Swap for February is the “Lucky Project” bag. There is a free pattern on Lee’s website –
Bring a bag (or more) and take home a bag (or more).
In March we will host Amanda Jean Nyberg, of Crazy Mom
Quilts, author of No Scrap Left Behind.
The meeting will have a $5 fee to cover guild expenses. There will be a workshop the following day at
the South Fork Community Center. More
information to come.
Quilting Community -
The Forsyth Piecers have invited us to their quilt show
on November 2 and 3, 2018. They would like
us to place our work in a special exhibition of modern quilts. These quilts would go through their
registration system individually and not be charged. They will be hung together to show examples
of the Modern Quilt movement to attendees.
The Forsyth Piecers have also invited us to enter our
quilts in their judged show. Non-Forsyth
Piecers will be charged $10 to enter a quilt and each quilt will receive judges’
comments. They are holding their show at
the Glade St YWCA and will have 3 university-sized gyms that they would like to
fill with quilts.
On February 12, 2018, the Forsyth Piecers will be hosting
Bonnie Hunter, of Quiltville, who will be speaking about her book and work, Addicted
to Scraps. Their meeting is at Parkway
Presbyterian church and the fee is $5 for non-members. Social starts at 6:30 pm and meeting starts at
7:00 pm. It is recommended that you arrive early in order to get a seat for
this one because the interest from quilters across the state is huge.
