Meeting Presentation

Magical Wholecloths: Past & Present

We look at the origins of the wholecloth, it’s presence today and how each quilter can personalize their wholecloth. This presentation contains a lot of examples and inspiration with many works from Telene and other popular quilters.

Free to Members. $10 for Guests.

Up-cycled Jeans Tote

Workshop begins at noon. This will be a 3-hour HANDS ON WORSHOP! There will be some prework for this workshop

Everybody has an old pair of jeans or two in the cupboard. Maybe they don’t fit anymore or maybe they are stained. Upcycling is a wonderful way to create a new item or gift without having to buy a lot of new fabrics. Students will upcycle a pair of jeans to make a useful tote bag with fun free range raw-edge applique and freemotion quilting all in one on the longarm machine. Once done, students only have to close up the sides and finish the top edge with binding. Great gifts and usable items that can be personalized without breaking the bank. Join Telene for this fun “let your hair down” class. You will be making this bag on your machine in your studio as Telene provides instruction.

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

Supply list will be posted.
