The Longarm Guild will be meeting next Wednesday, May 3 at 10:00am at the Quilted Joy showroom.

Jacque, Doris, and Carol have been very busy learning lots of quilting techniques from quilting master Judi Madsen. They will be sharing the samples they made from Judi’s online classes at iquilt (you can see the classes she has available here) and her classes here at Quilted Joy.

Don’t forget to bring an unfinished top for the “How would you quilt this” segment to get input from others on how to tackle a top and your latest quilts for show and tell.

And don’t forget your quilts for the UFO challenge! What’s a UFO? It’s an UnFinished Object, so all those quilts hiding in a closet just waiting to be quilted. If you bring a recently finished quilt (quilted and bound, label preferred but not required) for show and tell, we’ll add your name to the APQS mug. At the end of each meeting we’ll draw one name. The lucky winner will receive two small cones of Glide thread! We’ll save all the names and at the end of the year we’ll have a grand prize drawing. The more quilts you finish this year, the better your chances are of winning!

I would also really love to freshen the scenery here in the shop – and Liz might like to have a few of her quilts back too 😉 . If you have any quilts you wouldn’t mind letting me borrow, I’d love to display them in the showroom. My goal is to have enough to display different quilts each month, but I need your help to make this happen! A big thanks to Beth and Debbie for already sharing their quilts!
