Events & Workshops
May General Meeting
Sunday, May 5, 2024, 2 - 4 PM Poricy Park Nature Center
​
Members are encouraged to bring a special quilt: one that is significant for any reason. Perhaps it is a quilt that has inspired you; maybe you made it during a difficult time in your life; you might have learned a difficult technique during its construction…
We look forward to admiring your quilts and hearing the back stories.
June Workshop
Saturday, June 1, 2024, 10 AM-2 PM The Annex
​
Stephanie will teach the disappearing four patch block. This will be in-person at the Annex on Saturday June first from 10 am to 2 pm. A minimum of four attendees is
required. The maximum is ten. The cost is $20 and is due no later than Sunday, May 5. If we do not have four paid attendees by May 5, the workshop will be cancelled.
August General Meeting
Sunday, August 4, 2024, 2 - 4 PM Poricy Park Nature Center
This will be a hybrid meeting, meaning that members can “attend” either in-person at the nature center, or from home. Our speaker will be Suzi Parron, who will take us on a Zoom journey along the barn quilt trail, beginning with the first barn quilt, which stemmed from Donna Sue Groves and her wish to honor her mother’s quilting art.
​
The presentation features over one hundred stunning photographs of barn quilts, some of which rival cloth quilts in their intricacy. You will hear stories of some individuals who have painted quilt blocks to honor loved ones or their local culture, along with a few humorous anecdotes. The presentation is both informative and entertaining, as we explore the way in which our quilting heritage takes on new meaning as this movement continues to expand.
September General Meeting
Sunday, September 8, 2024, 2 - 4 PM Poricy Park Nature Center
​
Kate F. will be speaking about color. For those of you who don’t know Kate, she is a long time member with a remarkable sense of color. She will be doing a trunk show of some of her quilts.
