Kentuckiana Longarm GuildThe Longarm Guild will be meeting next Wednesday, March 7 at 10:00am in the Quilted Joy showroom.

There are so many mistakes, little and big, that we’ve all made over the years. Jacque suggested that we share some of the mistakes we’ve made and the lessons we’ve learned in machine quilting. Bonus points if you can bring in examples to show where you learned your lessons!

We’ll also have the program sign up sheet for the rest of the year. There are still a few months still looking for a topic or a volunteer to present, so start thinking about any topics you’d like to present to the group!

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.

We will be continuing our UFO challenge in 2018! Don’t forget your finished 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!
