December 7th, 2024

Nina has a passion for free motion quilting. She feels there is nothing more fun and satisfying than to share what you love with others who then become successful! Her most favorite thing in life is meeting new wonderful quilters!  Quilters are the most caring, sharing, loving, generous people of any “group” known!

Meeting Presentation

Threads – What’s the big deal?

This is a FUN lecture on all the things you didn’t know you needed to know about thread!

As an educator for WonderFil Specialty Threads, Nina has learned a lot and she wants to share!

Thread is like candy!  Sometimes you just can’t get enough…LOL!    
When we purchase thread it’s usually the color we buy, or the thread the shop carries.  In this lecture you’ll learn about the different weights of thread and why they make a difference.  Ply, why is that important?  Specialty threads like metallic, monofilament, tinsel threads, how do we work with them?  Why do metallics give us issues?  This lecture is FULL of information you’ll be thrilled you know now!

Presentation will begin at 10:00 am Central Standard Time. (one hour length)

Free to Members. $10 for Guests.

Zen Quilting workshop

Workshop begins at 12 noon. This will be a 3-hour lecture and demonstration.

Zentangle has been the rage for many years…Now let’s take it from paper and use our thread!  You’ll learn how to find the Zentangle designs which are easily used with your needle and thread, and how to tweak others to make them quiltable.  You’ll make the “thread” and learn how to put it all together.  This is just as relaxing as using paper and pencil…and drawing it helps create the muscle memory for quilting!  It’s a win win!!

Cost: $40 for members for hands-on workshop. $50 for guests.

Supply list will be posted.
