September 16, 2024 Workshop: "String Piecing Reimagined" with Ilene Bartos. String piecing is very easy to do. Colored strips are sewn onto a stabilizer background and then trimmed. Color choices and placement of lights and darks is a vital part of this class. Choose from four different patterns and/or kits, or bring your own fabrics. Available patterns are Arcs, Helix, Hearts, or Connected.

Evening Program: Ilene Bartos Trunk Show and Mini Store. Ilene has been working with fiber arts and quilting for almost 30 years, designing both traditional and art quilts. Her works have hung in galleries and shows and won various awards and blue ribbons. She enjoys lecturing at guilds, and loves teaching others how to make quilts that are slightly beyond their comfort zones, or outside the traditional box. Her motto is "Spread Joy, One Quilt at a Time."
October 21, 2024 Workshop: Holly Disterhoft will present "One Block Wonder." This technique calls for a fabric that has a "repeat" about every 23-26". You will need six repeats. Charlene suggest 6 yards, and you will have fabric left over. Look at the COLORS you like, not the pattern. Fabrics will be cut at the repeat, stacked, and cut into triangles, and then sewn back together in strips. Kaffee Fassett fabric works well, along with other big flowered patterns. Look for lots of color, and a little background. Batik does not work well. This will comprise the "center panel' and you may also choose to add a border. Google "one block wonder quilts" for examples online. Workshop session is $50.
Evening Program: Ilene Bartos Trunk Show and Mini Store Join us for a presentation of the 2024 Keepsake Quilters Guild 2024 show "Primary and Secondary." Ribbon winners in each category will show their quilts, and tell us a little about them.
