FlourishingPalms

Monday, January 14 is our first meeting of 2019.

At the meeting, sign-ups will be accepted for three wonderful upcoming activities!

Which one(s) will you attend?

1) SEW-IN WORKSHOP

Saturday, February 9 – 10 am to 6 pm

Members are invited to attend our monthly Saturday Sew-In, to work on whatever you wish (at no charge).

OR

Sign-up and pay only $15 for our first ever Sew-In Workshop

Fee payable to Beth in advance of the six-hour, 10 am to 4 pm workshop.

During this six-hour workshop, our member-instructor, Beth, will teach students a quilt-as-you-go technique called “Interleave.” It’s a simplified version of Michael Miller’s strip-pieced “Interweave” quilts, and can be completed in one day!

Beth’s Interleave quilt is called “Potato Chip 3” – because “you can’t make just one.”

2) CENTRAL FLORIDA MQG QUILT RETREAT

The date for our annual quilt retreat to Luther Springs in Hawthorne, Florida, has been moved to March to accommodate participation by our seasonal members. 

Friday, March 22 to Monday, March 25 – Optional: Tuesday, March 26 

Double occupancy – $170
Single occupancy – $190
Optional extra day – $40

Make checks payable to Central Florida MQG.

3) MID-CENTURY MODERN CURVE QUILT WORKSHOP

Guest workshop presenter and meeting speaker: Carol Lyles Shaw from Bradenton, Florida and the Sarasota MQG. Carole was formerly our MQG Regional Representative. 

Monday, April 8
9 am to 3:30 pm
Member fee: $75 payable to Central Florida MQG

Max: 18 students
Beginning March 1, workshop will open to non-members for $95.
Carole will teach how to create several quickly-pieced improvisational blocks. Learn to piece a quarter circle curve without templates or pinning. Practice improvisational cutting and piecing to make blocks that are unique and exciting. Alternative layouts will be offered: for a modern lap-size quilt, or table runner and placemats. A little at-home preparation will be needed.
