Our Before Guild Group will start in Feb 2020. The group will run for 5 sessions on the even number months giving participants a good chance to complete the quilt by the end of the year. The challenge is to make a quilt (by hand or machine your choice) using one quilt block design over and over again. You can find examples of this on internet and we have a couple books in our library. https://www.mybluprint.com/article/free-one-block-quilt-patterns has free patterns for a few basic designs.

Finding the Extra-Ordinary in the Ordinary - A design and technique workshop with Lois Parish Evans - MAY BE POSTPONED
Saturday 23rd May
Gordonton Hall 9 am-3:30 pm
In this workshop you will use design principles to develop and create an original design. Using nature as inspiration we will explore ways to express what we see as the extra-ordinary in the ordinary. Using the design process and techniques of raw edge applique, hand colouring and free motion quilting participants will create their own unique small art quilt. Artistic skills are not a pre-requisite, just an openness to ‘playing’ and exploring
