  IMPORTANT - THIS MEETING IS NOW ON ZOOM BECAUSE THE ROOM IS NOT AVAILABLE

  This meeting is an important part of the quilt show process so we can get feedback on what went well  before, during and after the show and how the quilt show can be improved for future shows.

  We will also take some time to look ahead to the 2026 show, talk about what we know will be new for the next show and determine any openings to fill. 

  Quilt show sub-committee chairs are needed at this meeting. Subcommittee Chairs should prepare a brief report (3-5 min) about what went well and what they would change for their part in the show. You deserve a giant pat on the back and appreciation for your leadership during this year's show.

  A special note to newer members: This meeting is a great way to learn about the inner workings of the quilt show and how you can be part of this important event. All are welcome!

  Zoom Registration

  If you have any questions, contact quiltshowchair@quiltersanonymous.org.

  Workshop:  Design From Photo to Imagination

  In this special one and a half day workshop you will design and begin work on your own unique art quilt based on either a landscape or an animal.  You should bring plenty of photos of your subject.

  On Wednesday afternoon you will learn how to simplify and combine photos into a graphic design both the old fashioned way with tracing paper and with apps on the iPad.

  On Thursday Vicki will teach her turned edge machine piecing technique using Floriani Stitch n Wash Fusible stabilizer. Cutting apart the stabilizer to use as templates you will see how easy it is to turn the edges with glue stick.  It is left in the finished piece giving nice body to the art quilt.  You will also learn Vicki's fussy piecing technique used in the sky section using a gradation fabric.  Vicki will also have a demo and discussion about screen printing lettering onto quilts.

  Here's a link to a video where Vicki explains this class in more detail.  Click here.

  Skill Level: Intermediate and above

  Workshop Fee: $80 for Members (includes both the Wednesday afternoon and the Thursday session).

  Workshop:  Carpenter's Apprentice

  If you are going to learn a new technique, you might as well go straight to the source - and that is what you will do in this workshop because Beth Helfter is the inventor of the Accordion Sewn HSTs method and the Carpenter's Apprentice was the first pattern that she produced that uses it. You can't get more original than that! In this workshop you will master how to make Accordion Sewn HSTs within the first 45 minutes and then move on to learn how to use them way beyond. You will learn how to use this technique not only to make HSTs more scrappy, but also how to create ordered accordions that layout large blocks and borders so easily you'll never want to make HSTs any other way again!

  Skill Level: All levels

  Workshop:  Fabulous Freehand Curves

  In this workshop you will cut large scale curves freehand without templates or patterns.  Add dots, skinny lines, wonky triangles and more to give each curve its own personality, then combine them into a fun original design. Cindy will teach us about color and design to create the composition as well as the techniques needed.

  Skill Level: Best for students with some experience with curves - not for beginners.
