  Help! The Quilts to Go leadership team is currently 2 individuals. Setting up for the Sort Party involves a lot of moving bins on carts from the "Dungeon" (storage area at RUMC) to the meeting room where the sorting takes place. Having it set up before the rest of the volunteers arrive makes the whole process more efficient.

  Sign up to come an hour early to help set up!

  Thanks,

  Workshop: Free Improv Piecing

  This workshop is a relaxed and free-flowing day of freestyle patchwork piecing. This wonderful improvisational technique lets your fabrics tell you exactly where they want to go, taking all the pressure off fabric selection. You'll learn to trust your instincts and work more intuitively, creating beautiful combinations without second-guessing yourself.  The secret to achieving beautiful, harmonious results lies in choosing a colour palette with a highlight accent. It's the perfect opportunity to give new life to those fabric scraps from other projects or finally use those gorgeous pieces you've been treasuring for just the right moment. 

  What You'll Learn:

  • Improvisational piecing techniques
  • How to work with fabric scraps and create cohesive designs
  • Grid and circular abstract patchwork methods
  • Basic quilting techniques for finishing your piece
  • Professional binding methods for a polished edge
  • Design decision-making and trusting your creative instincts
  • Options for turning your piece into functional items (cushions, bags, wall art)

  Workshop: Disintegration

  Combine the precision of paper piecing with improvisation to create a disintegrating effect! We will be using the Radial Geese pattern in this class, which will give you the tools to apply a disintegrating effect to other paper piecing patterns in the future. We’ll also discuss other ways of incorporating the idea of disintegration or deconstruction into your quilts. Some paper piecing experience is recommended for this class.

  Workshop: FPP Design - Computer

  In this workshop, Cole will work students through a step by step process of drawing a digital quilt block and the steps involved in designing an entire foundation paper piecing quilt pattern.  The class is long enough that members will have time to try the techniques and get feedback and help working on their own laptop.

  Basic foundation piecing knowledge is necessary for this class as well as basic computer skills.

  A laptop (Mac or PC) is or tablet required.  An iPad will not work.

  To prepare for the class:  download the most recent version of Inkscape, a free and widely used application.  Here's the link:  Inkscape
  Please make sure you download the most recent version of this software.

  Supply list:  laptop with Inkscape already downloaded.  We will not be sewing in class.

  Charity Work Party

  Come help the Charity Committee prepare quilt tops for quilting.

  Join the fun as we match tops with backs, cut binding strips, cut batting, and create bundles ready for quilting. 

  Please see the Supply List, and bring as many items as possible. Don't forget to label your supplies with your name. 
  

  We have several larger quilt tops that need pieced backs. If you can bring your sewing machine and help piece backs that will be so appreciated!

  If you don't know how to do some of these things, now is your chance to learn. We'll show you how! 

  The Charity team will be picking up quilt tops, backing fabric, and batting at the Charity storage unit, but we will need help bringing it into the meeting room and then carting it back to our vehicles for the trip back to the storage unit.

  Feel free to bring a snack or sack lunch. We usually take a break around noon.
  

  We appreciate your help so very much! Thank you!

  Workshop: Material Matrix--this is a 2 day workshop on both Thursday Oct 15th and Oct 16th

  My technique, "Material Matrix", is inspired by the painter, Chuck Close. It involves using a gridded photograph and interpreting each 2-inch square into fabric, using piecing to achieve the effect.  My lecture, "Material Matrix and the Paths Taken", is an overview of the evolution of Material Matrix and how it works.  In the workshop, in addition to the technique, I teach: what makes a good photo to use, color and value, curved-piecing, and how to grid your own photo. Everyone in the class will work on "Wake Up Cup"

  There is a $3.00 fee payable at class for a template.

  This meeting is an important part of the quilt show process so we can get feedback on what went well  before, during and after the show and how the quilt show can be improved for future shows.

  We will also take some time to look ahead to the 2028 show, talk about what we know will be new for the next show and determine any openings to fill. 

  Quilt show sub-committee chairs are needed at this meeting. Subcommittee Chairs should prepare a brief report (3-5 min) about what went well and what they would change for their part in the show. You deserve a giant pat on the back and appreciation for your leadership during this year's show.

  A special note to newer members: This meeting is a great way to learn about the inner workings of the quilt show and how you can be part of this important event. All are welcome!

  If you have any questions, contact quiltshowchair@quiltersanonymous.org.
