Our next formal meeting will be on October 26, 2019 at 9:30 am. We will have a short business meeting, followed by a trunk show with Lynn Carson Harris. Lynn hails from Chelsea, MI and creates beautiful quilts. All are welcome even if you are not coming to the workshop.
Workshop noon-4pm
After her trunk show, we will take a half hour break for lunch. Bring your lunch or pop out to purchase something nearby. Beginning at noon, Lynn will be teaching us about hand appliqué (registration required)! It's going to be tons of fun! If you'd like to learn more about Lynn and her work, please visit her website.
From Lynne's website:
Lynn’s needle turn applique technique makes it easy to achieve perfect applique circles and smooth curves. Points and corners are not a problem. Choose one of Lynn’s Fleur-de-lis patterns that are designed to teach you all of the skills needed to applique any other shape or design. You will learn the techniques needed to master applique on inside curves, outside curves, inside corners, and outside corners. The applique piece can later be made into a pillow top or small wall hanging, or used as the center of a medallion quilt.
Supplies
Here are the supplies you will need to bring to the meeting if you'd like to participate in the workshop:
- Two fat quarters--one for the background and one for the applique design
