June 14, 2017: Quilting Studios and Year End Meeting

7:15 pm At Harvey Wheeler Center, West Concord, MA

Have you ever wondered what other members’ studios look like? Can anyone be as messy as you are? Well, wonder no more. We will go on an imaginary bus trip to four Piecemakers’ studios, see pictures and have the owner discuss how she works. Good for some laughs and you just may learn something! Keep an open mind. You may be next!

Please Bring a Dessert or Sweet Something for Our June Celebration Meeting. All outstanding library books are due at the June meeting. And don’t forget to bring your House Challenge quilt.

Fall Workshop

Birds, Birds, Birds! with Lynne Tyler

Workshop, Saturday, Sept. 30, 9:00-3:30, St. John’s Lutheran Church, Sudbury

Come spend a day with Lynne Tyler and learn how to make your own flock of improvisationally pieced birds. Learn new ways to look at your fabrics in order to create birds with attitude and wings that sing. Once you make your first bird, you are off to the races. It’s great fun and very addictive. For more Bird Inspiration, check out Lynne’s blog:http://patcherymenagerie.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-last-bird.html

To register for the workshop, contact Carol MacFarlane.

2016 – 2017 Challenge Quilt – Houses

The theme for this year’s quilt challenge is Houses. This could be any type of house: a depiction of your childhood house, current house, a dream house, fairy tale house, whimsical house, or any type of house you choose to depict. Use any techniques and embellishments you’d like. The only restriction for this challenge is the perimeter of all 4 sides must not be greater than 100″. Our Challenge quilts will be shared at the June 2017 meeting.
