Amanda and Lee will email the swap partners the

o
Community
§ Sheri reminded everyone about Senior
Services and making a quilt to donate. She and Ann discussed a new plan to
“Adopt a Back” the guild has enough fabric for backing, if you adopt one you
can use your own stash to coordinate fabrics for a top. Please keep quilts to
sizes 40X50 to 55X65 and 100% cotton fabric and batting. Ask fellow guild
members for fabric from their stash and partner with them to help completing
the tasks you are not so fond of – like binding. The goal is to donate as many
quilts this year as we have members, around 40.
§ The community basket is at the table
when you sign in, don’t forget to bring in items from toiletries to cash and
they will buy Target gift cards
§ Amber said we could use the long arm at
Sewingly Yours free of charge to make a Senior Services quilt, you still need
to reserve a spot and be sure to tell whoever is working you are making the
quilt for that reason.
Amber asked if anyone had any ideas for speakers or demonstrations for next
year to please let her know, she then introduced the speaker for our meeting –
Ania Reich
Ania creates art quilts and her website is aniareich-quilts.com. She has
been seeing a trend in walking foot quilting especially in modern quilts. She
urged us to express our free spirit and quilt for ourselves no matter where
that quilt will end up – a gift or in a show. You do not have to be an artist
to create an art quilt. Her first quilt was for her young daughter and she
didn’t even know what the word quilt meant! She layers fabrics, even little
tiny pieces, using wonder under and her iron. She is inspired by photos, nature
and Pinterest, she then sketches, outlines and finally cuts out and pieces
together her beautiful quilts.
