The Longarm Guild will be meeting next Wednesday, December 7 at 10:00am at the Quilted Joy showroom. Once again this year I had the pleasure of visiting Houston with APQS for the Quilt Festival. There are hundreds of breathtaking quilts on display, and I look forward to this week all year. At the next guild meeting I’ll give an overview of the quilts from Houston. We’ll of course spend some time ohhing and ahhing over beauties like Grace Sim’s "iColor Longhorn" (pictured), but we’ll also focus on some of the trends I noticed popping up in the longarm world. Don’t forget to bring your latest quilts for show and tell and an unfinished top for the “How would you quilt this” segment to get input from others on how to tackle a top. If you’re quilting for others, feel free to bring along a stack of business cards to leave in the shop! Would you like to receive email reminders for our next meetings?

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.
