August 3rd Meeting

Guess what?  We are back in person at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on August 3rd from 7-9.

This is our annual PUP challenge.

PUP stands for Poor Unfinished Project.  Members bring 3 PUPs and the group votes on what project to challenge the member to finish in the next year.

Our members are very kind and tend to pick the easiest, almost done project.  NOPE - The members usually pick the project that has the most pieces, lost fabric, lost blocks, sewed incorrectly, and is the one project you don't want to finish.

Come and join in on the fun.  We will also be having show and tell and charity projects.

 Change in plans.  Our goal was to meet for our first in person meeting on July 6th.

Unfortunately, the church location was double booked and we had to revert back to Zoom.  

• We are meeting via Zoom on July 20th.  If you need the zoom link, email Debbie at quiltingwithbrights@gmail.com for the link.
• On August 3rd, we will have our first in person meeting (fingers crossed) at the church.

We are so sorry for anyone that did not get notified. 

 Next meeting June 15th, 2021

We are still meeting on Zoom but our first in-person meeting will be July 6th.  The plan is meet once a month at the church and once a month via zoom.

For the June 15th meeting, our guest will be Nicki Hibbits. She will have a presentation about Quilt Hanging. https://theruffledpurse.com/

 Our May 4th meeting will feature

Panel Palooza

As seen on TheQuiltShow.com

Take that panel you fell in love with and turn it into something truly unique. Square up your selections, add interesting block treatments and borders and fill those pesky open spaces with patchwork or applique to create a really special quilt.

 Our next meeting on 4/6 will feature Heidi Pridemore from Whimsical Workshop discussion Auriful threads.  https://www.thewhimsicalworkshop.com/

Welcome to February, Nimble Thimbles.

Our next meeting is tomorrow, February 1.

6:15 – Block of the week sharing

6:45-7:00 – Member connection

7:00 – Start of meeting

 

Program – Our featured speaker is Lyric Kinard with a program on Quilting Portraits.  From her website (https://lyrickinard.com/), My goal as an artist is to remind humanity of the strength it possesses. In a world where too often, the images we feed ourselves are full of violence and fear, I strive to uplift. In a many layered process I gather intriguing materials both old and new. I marvel as plain cloth is transformed as it absorbs dye and paint. The meditative process of mark making with thread allows me to truly see and understand my materials and physically connect with my subject. Slowly order emerges from disarray, beauty from chaos.
