Join us for a new quilting adventure. This group is open to all our members and will meet only on Zoom and will focus on modern quilting!
Meeting the third Tuesday of the month from 7:00—8:00 with a 6:30—7:00 social time.
Initially the meetings were planned for 7 months but the response has been wonderful and will continue with members taking ownership of the group and continuing forward. Come join and share your knowledge and curiosity about modern quilts.
Purpose: to explore Modern quilting techniques and characteristics. Each month we will explore one of the hall marks of modern quilting with demonstrations or video. Participants will be encourages to make a quilted block by playing with that technique to show at the next month’s meeting (our Show and Tell). We will record meetings for those who can not make a particular month.
Join us for one or all of our meetings.!
