Join us at our regular guild meeting on November 17th for a wonderful program on Barn Quilts by Suzi Parron. Suzi's talk will take you on a journey along the quilt trail, beginning with the very 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 of the individuals who have painted quilt blocks to honor loved ones or their local culture, along with a few humorous anecdotes. Then on Saturday afternoon, November 21st, join us for a fun Barn Quilt Painting workshop with Suzi via Zoom! Get together with a close friend or zoom from your home and join us for the fun! The workshop fee is $25. for members, $50 for non-members. (Workshop fee is non-refundable since supplies are being provided.) Note: Registration Closes on Monday, November 2nd! Late registration not possible due to the mailing of supplies. Join the barn quilt movement by creating your own painted quilt block. You will begin with a pre-primed board and go through each step—drafting, taping, and painting, with careful attention to detail. The workshop lasts about 4 hours. You will have a finished quilt block or with one last color (which will be provided) to add at home. Ready for show and tell at your next meeting!
