| Quilting Clubs |
|
||||||||||||
For the 'Social Quilter', the joy of quilting is getting together with fellow quilters. Join a Club and S-E-W! Displayed are clubs that have begun or are just starting up. Further down is a list of more club ideas. You can join a club at any time. A fee of$2-$3 fee per meeting may be required to cover the cost of using the facility. |
|
|
| Redwork Club | Do you still enjoy embroidery such as, redwork, counted cross stich, silk ribbon etc... Let's join together and meet at each other's home to continue these crafts. |
| Sampler Club | A sampler quilt is described as a medley of patterns merging into one unit, using many different fabrics. It's considered a good starter quilt for beginners. In a class setting, the easiest block would be started first, progressing to the more difficult. The student is introduced to a number of quilting techniques, such as use of fabric, hand piecing, applique, and design, to just name a few. Many guilds have Block of the Month but participation is low. Maybe this can be remedied by starting a club dedicated to Sampler Quilts. Learning the skills to make different blocks can be fun and rewarding. |
| Scrap Happy Club | Okay, you have that never-ending box of fabric scraps -- scraps that are just too good to throw away. Or maybe you have an overflowing stash that needs to be thinned out. Now, just what to do about this? How about putting them together in a great Scrappy Quilt! |
| Paper Piecing Club | " A method of piecing where fabric is sewn to a paper for accuracy". Well known, Jodie Davis, spoke at our guild meeting about her books and love of paper piecing. Perhaps you like it also but haven't had the opportunity to venture into this method. Maybe there are others like you! |
| Blockbuster Club | Do quilt blocks that look or seem too difficult, intimidate you? Let's get over it, together. |
| Miniature Quilt Club | Running out of wall space to hang your traditionally sized quilts? So you see those "Minis", and say to yourself...I'll never be able to do 'That'! Never say Never. Miniature quilts require no more time than a traditional sized quilt. What they do require is attention to precision. Miniatures can be produced through the paper piecing and/or foundation piecing methods; and through precise cutting and sewing. |
| EQ Club | Do you have a laptop? Do You have Electric Quilt Software Version 5 or 6? Never used it, huh? Well, now is the time. Get together with other interested guild members and learn how to use this software. The EQ user manual has excellent step by step lessons that allow you to work at your own pace; Plus illustrations, tips and short cuts help you along the way. |
| Machine Embroidery Club |
You own an embroidery machine! Others do too. Join together to explore this feature of your sewing machine. Share project ideas, discuss techniques, search the internet to acquire information, tutorials, free projects and free designs for your particular machine. |
