Quilters of all levels are invited to join this quilting meetup at Eli Whitney Museum, in the Carter Studio, which is the first brick building you see upon entering the Eli Whitney entrance off Whitney Avenue. Hosted by Jackie Gleisner.
AGENDA:
- Lavender Sachets -- thank you to Susan who has generously offered to lead a mini-lesson at our first meeting!
- Basic Quilting Tutorial -- many of you requested an introductory session to cover the foundations. As time permits, we'll cover some of the terminology and perhaps tackle a quilted potholder.
- Fabric Swap -- bring old fabrics (sheets, t-shirts, flannel pajamas, and cotton dress shirts) to swap with others.
- Show and Tell -- bring something you've made or aspirational imagery to share with the group.
- Community Quilt Sign-Up -- I'd love to gauge who would be interested in working on a community quilt.
- Choosing the Tutorial Topic for February -- topics volunteered from the survey include basic embroidery, visible mending, quilt binding methods, "sew as you go" quilting, and improv quilting...
SUPPLIES/NOTES:
Bring a sewing machine if you have one. We will have a few sewing machines on hand as well.
Participate in the tutorial if you're interested! You're all welcome to gather to work on your sewing projects independently.
Snacks are welcome. Jackie will bring a selection of seltzers or other beverages.
Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested! RSVP is not required.
