The Longarm Guild will be meeting next Wednesday, July 5 at 10:00am at the Quilted Joy showroom.

This month Beth volunteered to lead a discussion about thread. This will be a great opportunity to ask other guild members about different types, brands, and weights of thread. Be sure to bring your questions!

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!

The Kentuckiana Longarm Guild is an informal gathering of quilters who love their stand up and sit down longarm machines. The group is open to owners of ANY brand longarm machine and is completely free. We meet the first Wednesday of every month at 10:00am.
