And next comes the Main Program.

This month's program was a series of mini-workshops led by Guild Members. Meeting attendees walked around to the seven "stations" where each of the sessions were conducted.

Jeanne Brenner taught How to Make a Quilt Sleeve. Her written instructions are available at this pdf file.

IMG_4824.JPG
Barbara Ahlbrandt instructed how to make the Dresden Plate block.

IMG_4826.JPG
Esther Weiner demonstrated blanket-stitch appliqué.

IMG_4828.JPG

Dorothy Barr showed how much embellishment added to quilts.

IMG_4830.JPG

IMG_4831.JPG Sharon Pollock told listeners how to make a quilt from a picture -- basically, having a print shop enlarge one's drawing to the desired size; if multiple big pages are needed to be printed, tape them together.

Sharon also shared a nifty trick for quilt design transfer for quilting. Using a ball-point pen, she traces the design onto "Glad Press & Seal", places that on the quilt (and it can be relocated several times if you don't like the first location), and then sews.

Marilyn Kelley demonstrated making a Cathedral Windows version of the folded pinwheel block.
