Hello! Just a reminder that we have our monthly meeting coming up on Monday, August 10 starting at 7 pm at The Barn on the Mount Vernon Nazarene University campus. Visitors welcome!

Here is a little taste of our Show ‘n Tell at our last meeting in July. It is always better to see it all in person!

Hi, Glenn Fischer here. I want to give a shout out to Judy Cooperrider and Earths Hues. I was asked to make a baby quilt and provided a basic idea of how they wanted it to look. I needed a background that would work well with the colors I was going to work with (Mainly the greens and blues). I also wanted a horizon line but a soft one without a hard transition. Judy did a great job. They were also a supporter and vendor for our Show. www.earthshueshanddyed.com

I had to deliver this so it is not going to be available for show and tell.

From a sister organization!:

Common Threads invites you to join us at our monthly meeting and workshop in July.

The meeting will be on Tuesday July 28th at 6:30 pm at St Catherine’s Catholic Church in Bexley.

workshop will be Wednesday, July 29th at the Pataskala library from 10-4. Cost is $50 for members $60 for non-members

Our speaker is Sarah Thomas from Sariditty. She will present how to confidently choose fabric for multi-color and monotone designs. Sarah shares her approach to selecting a harmonious palette that achieves design strength through color placement. She then goes on to explain how she uses color saturation and color value to make the same quilt with alternate coloration. Filled with techniques that, in many cases, let the consumers choose their own preferences to achieve their own results. It also includes instruction for basic patchwork, piecing curves, English and foundation paper piecing, and appliqué. Improve your own quilting skills by learning from a master!

Join Sarah of SARIDITTY for an all-day workshop that takes different elements from her pattern book, "Rainbow Quilt Color Method," for an info-filled day of different piecing methods and techniques. Once the class concludes, you'll leave with blocks and units to continue making Eden, Ribbon Candy, and Double Dip quilts OR jump into many more of Sarah's patterns that utilize the same techniques and tricks. Sarah will provide templates for each section of the class...all you need to do is bring your choice of fabrics and basic sewing notions and your machine.

Key items to be used: 1/4" foot, suggested washable glue stick, fabric marking pen/pencil, piecing thread, suggested small iron or seam roller, cutting mat, rotary cutter (45mm or 60mm but also a 28mm *if* you have it), quilter's ruler, pressing mat

Fabric Reqs:

Eden — 4 Layer Cake Squares (10" square) OR 2-4 FQs

Ribbon Candy — (4) Jelly Roll strips + (1) FQ or 1/4Yd for background

Double Dip templates making Posey Patch pattern — (1) FQ or 6"xWOF flower center + 12"xWOF first layer petals + 18"xWOF second layer petals + (2) 12"xWOF exterior background

It is always such a heartwarming event, when a Quilt of Valor is gifted to a service man or woman. We all are so proud of, and grateful for, their service and so pleased to be a part of the generous and talented Knox County Quilt Guild.

Lowell Henthorn enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1965 and served two years in Vietnam. He received a Quilt of Valor recognizing his service.
