November

Program:  November 20, 2024 – Laura Rosenspan:
Places, Real and Imagined

Laura Rosenspan will share her inspiration for each of her landscape quilts, along with the story behind every scene and the methods and techniques used. Laura loves to share her secrets to inspire quilters to try some of these techniques. As part of her presentation there will be a short activity. For those on Zoom, please have a pad of paper and pencil ready, and a partner if possible.

December meeting – December 11, 2024 – Holiday Party: For our holiday party we ask members to optionally bring a sweet or savory finger food to share. We will also be collecting items for Household Goods. Household Goods provides a full range of donated furniture and household items, free of charge, to help people in need make a home. Last year they served roughly 2500 families. In the spring they collect a lot of donated items when students move out of Boston Dormitories. But those stocks typically dwindle at this time of year. If you’d like to bring a new or gently used small household item to the December meeting it would be much appreciated. This might be a good time to declutter your kitchen drawers or linen closet. Suggested items include: kitchen spatulas, knives, measuring cups, dishes, glasses, pots, towels, bedsheets, blankets, quilts, afghans, lamps, fan, or toaster. Please ensure the donated items are clean. For further ideas, see their website.

Upcoming workshops: 

We will be having a workshop together using Gloria Loughman’s “Light Up Your Landcsape” online workshop. https://www.glorialoughman.com/product-page/light-up-your-landscape-online-workshop-1
If you’re interested in participating, you will need to buy and view the online workshop on her website for $32 Australian which is about $21 US.  We will then meet in person November 30 and December 7th to talk, look at each other’s fabric choices, and sew. For further photos, see the sample info in her book listing. Please send an email to Tina and Leonie if you want to participate.

Additionally, Carol MacFarlane will hold her fabulous bag workshop again on January 18th and February 1st. There may be a small charge for supplies. If you are interested in her workshop please send an email to Tina and Leonie.

Please check out the upcoming Quilts 250 show in Concord in March 2025.
