January 8: We will start the year with a presentation by Michelle Nichols from Mt. Hope, Kansas. As a former instructor for Bernina for eight years, Michelle will be sharing her knowledge on how to get the most out of your sewing machine and how to keep it performing its best for you. Her program will also include machine embroidery tips and the sharing of numerous quilts that she has made. |
February 12: Panelmania with Judy Vore While she learned to sew as a child, Judy took her first quilting class in 1999 and quickly decided hand applique' was truly her new passion. She has been an avid quilter since , branching out and learning other methods of applique' and other quilting styles as well. While Judy now machine pieces most quilts and is also a longarm quilter, she still claims hand applique' to be her favorite quilting technique. Judy loves to design quilts and the Panelmania program includes many original designs. In 2014 Judy began offering guild programs and trunk shows/lectures as well as workshops. Judy's mother, who also shares a love of quilting, often accompanies her. They make many quilts as shared projects, with Judy doing all of the design work, applique and long-arming, while LaDonna meticulously does the piecing. Both are happy to share their work with guilds. |
March 11: The Random Block Sampler with Barb Eikmeier Members can create a Charming Log Cabin during the afternoon workshop. Students will start with a charm pack of 5" pre-cut squares and learn to piece accurate 3 1/2" Log Cabin blocks without paper piecing. One charm pack will yield 21 block. |
