23rd - Program meeting Eva Paige Lecture: Plays Well with Others From the days of Quilting Bees on the prairie, quilting has always been a social hobby. This lively lecture focuses on group quilt making in today's world, taking us beyond guild Block of the Months to swaps, round robins, and specialized group projects to show how adding more quilters with more ideas into your projects will create fantastic results. Vending will also be available 25th - Workshop: Round Robin in a Day In this workshop each participant will work to help complete four 36” square quilts with a center block and three unique borders. Each participant will arrive with a completed 8 ½” (8” finished) block which reflects the theme and colors of their desired wall hanging. Working in three “rounds” or blocks of 1.5 hours per border, the style or technique of which is determined just prior to each round, participants will design, create and add each round’s border to a quilt belonging to different class participant, working on three other quilts in all. At the end of the workshop, each participant should have a completed 36” square quilt that reflects not only themselves but the unique ideas and approaches to quiltmaking of his/her fellow workshop participants. A willingness to allow others to dictate the direction of a piece you started and the abilities to work well in a time sensitive environment and to move from one task to another easily are requisite to this class, as well as the completion of the center block prior to class.
