Registration Form
The workshop with Mark Sherman on Sunday, October 13, 2019 is fast approaching!
Mark is a gifted artist and quilter as well as an entertaining and knowledgeable speaker. His
workshop “Remarkable Stained Glass” promises to be a lot of fun and using the kit he provides,
Mark promises we will end up with a beautiful piece of wall art. The mandatory kit fee of $40
includes everything needed to complete the class project (including his own hand dyed fabric)
and is paid to Mark at the workshop. You can go online to www.remarkablequilts.com , then to
quilt gallery, to see his quilts. Since we are limited in the number of students that can be
accommodated at A Different Touch Quilt Shop, I want to encourage you to get your registration
in asap --- there are only 9 spaces left! The $40 registration fee is required to accompany
the registration form.
Mark will also be lecturing at both morning and evening chapter meetings on Monday,
October 14, “Man Quilter” and trunk show. Join Mark for this hilarious and inspirational look
at what it's like to be a man quilter. Mark discusses how he became a quilter, what quilts he is
currently working on and where he is going with his art in the future. He will show the same
quilts at both meetings, but the lectures will not be exactly the same.
Supply list for workshop:
-large scissors
-Bohin white chalk (will be available for sale at workshop)
-Light box (2 loaners will be available and a few for sale at workshop)
Happy Quilting!

Phyllis Hatcher, Quilt Detective: Cold Case, December 7, 2019
Do you have an old, interesting quilt or top you know nothing about? Maybe you’ve acquired an heirloom quilt from a family member, purchased one in a shop, or experienced a late night on eBay. Bring it to Phyllis’ Quilt Detective: Cold Case lecture and let Phyllis crack the case for you. Phyllis will show how she determines the approximate date a quilt was made using a myriad of mysterious clues. Some stories and bits of textile chronicle are waiting to be shared.
If you are interested in having a quilt appraised, please print out the appropriate form below and bring it with you.

Quilts for shooting victims and/or families of victims:
It has been suggested that, as a Guild, we might like to make a quilt for each of the families of the victims of last Friday's shooting, as well as those injured who remain in hospital.
The Board has decided that we should ask any member who wishes to take part to make a 12" finished Friendship Block. (This means your block should be 12.5" unfinished.) The pattern is attached and can be found on Quilters Cache.
We are asking that the blocks be made using red, white, and blue fabric from your stash. (Note that the attachment shows the colors in reds and orange.)
The blocks can be turned into the chapter coordinators of the day and night meetings next week, or can be mailed to Debby Coleman at 1520 Stephens Road, Virginia Beach, 23454.
I hope many of you will be willing to take part so that we can offer a small piece of comfort to families facing a horrific situation.
