Meeting - May 21st

Diane Pitchford will be our guest for the next meeting. She is a certified judge and judges for the Tucson Quilt Show.  We are looking for members to bring quilts and quilt stands so she can discuss during the presentation.  This is one of the favorite presentations from several years ago since she provides great insight into how to make your quilts ribbon ready.

Meeting - June 4th

Patti Pearce was a speaker at the AQG Quilt Show in March and has been featured at 35th Ave.
During this “Table Talk” trunk show, Patti will discuss the quilts and wall hangings that she has created from vintage tablecloths and kitchen towels. She will show part of my collection that has yet to be re-purposed and discuss ideas for how to use them. Patti will also offer patterns and vintage kitchen linens for sale.

Meeting - June 18th

This is the last meeting for the fiscal year.  This will be a social meeting with a cold treat and a fun game of left, right, center.  Please bring 1 (one) fat quarter for the game.

Also to celebrate the end of our year, bring your block of the month, a vintage quilt you love, or a sampler to share during the social time.
