Quilting
Friends,
Instead of posting a picture of a quilt this month, I thought I’d post a few snap shots of my guild visits this month. I was so excited to get back to face-to-face visits with real live people, LOL!
Seaside Piecemakers guild hosted me a few weeks ago for one of my Stashbuster Lectures, and then Moonlight Quilters Guild hosted me for a workshop on my Norway quilt.
I’d love to visit your guild,
for a lecture and/or workshop. Read all about me and my
offerings here.
You may not know that the Calendar page on the website is a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state. Give it a look-see.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
PS: I’d love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime.

Virtual
Lecture on T-Shirt Quilts
Wednesday,
July 7, 2021, 10am
Been
there, done that and got the T-shirts but wondering what to do with them?
Have a
family member who is roller-coaster crazy and still has the T-shirt from every
one s/he has ever ridden?
Know a
football fan who collects T-shirts featuring their favorite teams?
How
about a music fan who buys the T-shirt from each gig or festival they go to
Join us
as our Member, Joanne Gilch, takes us through the process of preparing T-shirts
for making into a stunning memory/keepsake quilt. Joanne will talk about
choosing suitable T-shirts or T-shirt parts, options for stabilizing the
T-shirt fabric, measuring and cutting the designs from the T-shirts and finally
taking us through different styles for putting the resulting pieces together.
The meeting is free for
members, but registration is required so you will be sent the zoom link prior
to the meeting. Guests are welcome for a nominal fee.
