I thought it would be fun to share some of Esther Kleinkauf's FPP work with you!

If you'd like to learn some FPP tips from a true expert, today is the last day for members to register on the BBQ website for Esther's FPP Schoolhouse class, scheduled for this Saturday at 10:00 AM.

This gorgeous quilt from our recent quilt show was made by one of our guild members, Madeleine Trainor, from a pattern designed by another guild member, Joyce Cambron.

And while I have your attention 😁: if you'd like to learn to quilt from one of the best, Madeleine will be teaching a class for us next month on "Free Motion Quilting on Your Domestic Machine." Schoolhouse classes cost just $15 and are exclusively for guild members.

Congratulations to Madeline Trainor on her NACQJ CJ Award of Merit ribbon winning quilt!

We are so excited that Joe Cunningham is scheduled to be the guest speaker at this month's guild meeting!

Joe says, "We all know what 'Modern' quilt making is. Sort of. Now that Modern Quilts have been around for a while the world is starting to move on, or maybe it’s just me. In this lecture I’ll talk about Modern Quilts and how they have influenced the wider quilt world, and explain how I have come to find my own style of 'Post' Modern quiltmaking."

Joe will also be teaching a two-day Creative Design workshop on Oct. 16-17 . . . and we still have a few spots available! This workshop is open to the public as well as to guild members.
