January Events

Web gal — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 14:42:14 +0000

What a wonderful Christmas party we had! The food was great, the railroad car was charming, and the company was the best! Check out our webpage for pix from the event and our quilt show ‘n tell.

With the new year, we start our monthly programs with a binding how-to. There are various ways to do your binding, and we all want to make it the best way possible. Several of our binding expert members will be at stations to demo how to do it. There are also several methods of non-binding to share. Yes, there is an alternative! So be sure to join us.

We will also be presenting the wrap up of the Quilt Show and the information Joanna, Jacki and I gathered for the next show. Lots of decisions need to be made and we want your input, so be sure to come.

The meeting is January 19 at the Church. We start at 7 PM, but come early for meeting and greeting!

Also in January, Peg Bingham will be presenting a free-to-members workshop on the Attic Windows pattern she developed. This one is tricky because of the Y seam, and Peg has it all figured out so it is easy to do. Instructions and times will be forthcoming. Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 21 at the Highland Square Branch Library in Akron. Remember, members only!

Have a special holiday season–

November and December 2011 Meetings

Web gal — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 13:42:03 +0000

Our next meeting [November 17] is back at the church at our usual time– 7 PM, with time beforehand for visiting. Our guest speaker this month will be quilt teacher Mary Huey. She is going to teach us how to adapt and change patterns. If you have some blocks or patterns you want to change somehow– maybe you want to size them larger or smaller or make them on point, or whatever, go ahead and bring several with you. Should be a very interesting program. When it comes to math, I want to go in the closet and hide, so I am hoping this helps me!

Our December Christmas party will be December 6 at the Erie Station Grill in Tallmadge. To get there, head to Tallmadge Circle and exit at East Avenue. It is less than a half mile down the street on the right. You will see the railway car where we will be having our own private dinner. [That way, we can make as much noise as we want to!] You will have limited menu items to select from and they will do separate checks for us. Here is a link to their website. It should be a fun time.

Visitors are welcome. You may visit our meetings twice before deciding to become a member.

March 2011 Meeting

Our speaker for this month is Cindy Casciato, author of STASH WITH SPLASH QUILTS. She will teach a new tool/technique to save cutting time, the “magic triangle” technique; no waste flying geese technique; and 3-D applique. All this and tips on organizing our stashes! Join us for the program on March 17 at 7 PM, or come any time from 6:30 PM on, to socialize.

March is also our Founder’s Day Celebration– do I see cake in our future?

Hello! This is just a note from the new web gal. I’m in the process of moving over old files as well as setting new items up. And all with a new look and feel. Please bear with me, and check back often for updates!
