Welsh Quilting
October 1st, 2022
Explore the beauty of Welsh Quilting with Tia Curtis. She will give a brief history of Welsh quilting including both hand quilted and machine quilted pieces. She will then break down the timeless designs so that they are easily approachable for any quilter. She will demonstrate how simple marking, and the use of acrylic templates make this style quilting a breeze yet appear complicated and exceptionally detailed.

Quilting As A Layer Of Design
December 3rd, 2022
Do you want to take your quilting to the next level? In this trunk show learn to incorporate quilting elements as a main design element, not just an afterthought. We will see design quilting elements that add an extra “layer” of design to the quilt. Look beyond the shapes made by the piecing to create a new design element that complements the design of the entire quilt. Utilize the idea of macro quilting to create elements that are on the same scale as the piecing. See how scale and density effect what the eye sees.
Christine’s Zoom presentation will begin at 10 am CST after the guild business portion of the meeting.
