Thanks to Lisa Martin we had a great wool applique workshop in July. We appreciate her creating such a cute design for us to use. We learned important basics about the preparation of and stitching techniques for wool applique.

August- Eleanor Burns  

Join Eleanor Burns and Florence LaGanke Harris, posthumously inducted into Quilters Hall of Fame this July! Eleanor has been inspired for years by Florence, a writer back in the 1930’s of hundreds of quilt patterns that appeared in newspaper columns. Eleanor’s favorite is the Nancy Page column, a fictional weekly quilt club that met each Tuesday in Nancy’s home. Enjoy the old-time stories, several antique quilts from Nancy’s group, as well as numerous quilts Eleanor made with her own group. Dress up for the occasion in your favorite 30’s hat, oh, and yes, a smile!

              Workshop- Sashiko Introduction to Sashiko by the Tana Doss.


Learn this ancient Japanese art of stitching beautiful patterns with heavy thread to add a design element to quilts, clothing and household items. Learn how to mark your fabric or use a preprinted pattern. Workshop is from 9 am to 2 pm. Class is $20. Supply list at QGETX.org.

September- Trish Stuart

In September Trish Stuart will be talking to us about pushing boundaries by making simple changes or additions to inspire and energize our work. She will talk to us about her design work making collages, painting, and thread painting. We will have an inspiring showing of her quilts using different techniques.

              Workshop- Grow a hummingbird Garden

The workshop is a collage in which participants will create a sky and streaming stems, flowers will be fussy cut, fused and stitched down. Next will be cutting out the hummingbird and learning how to layer to get the depth and movement. The hummingbird will then be stitched to the sky area. Your kit will include all the materials needed for the project such as top fabrics, batting, backing, fusible web and pattern instructions. The kit fee is $38. The class fee is $45 as Trish is a nationally known speaker. The supply list is at QGETX.org Programs.

October- White Elephant Sale

Due to popular request, we will have the White Elephant Sale both before and after the Guild meeting so that everyone has more time to shop! Contact Pat Graham to request a table. 903-941-2907
