Our monthly guild meeting is next Thursday at the usual location (Island Lutheran Church) from 11:30-2:00. More about the details tomorrow....
On Friday, July 17th, our own talented Mary Willis will be leading our workshop from 9:00-3:00 in the Palmetto Electric Cooperative community room in Hardeeville. 1 Cooperative Way. There is still room in the class! We welcome non-members! Here's the sign up link: https://palmettoquiltguild.org/event-6608149/Registration
The workshop is simply called "40 Fat Quarters Quilt."
This quilt is constructed with 2-1/2” strips from 40 different fat quarters 18” x 22”. (You can use yardage, but scraps will not work unless you have 6 – 2-1/2” strips of each fabric, at least 16” long.) Mary has made this quilt twice. Once with Halloween fat quarters and once with 40 different solid color fat quarters. You’re looking for contrast with your fat quarters. You’ll want to choose a variety of lights and darks, patterns and scale. She thinks it could be fun with Red, White and Blue, Christmas, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Purple and Green, Black, White and Gray, etc. Use your imagination and have fun picking your fat quarters. Following the instructions, you will sew six panels together with up rows and down rows resulting in a quilt that measures approximately 72” x 78”. (Adapted from a class by Lynne Godin, former member of PBQG)
