There will be a social at my home on Thursday, April 17th from 6:00 until 7:30. Anyone who is sort of new or very new is invited. It is a chance to ask and share in a slightly quieter atmosphere.

RSVP’s are appreciated.

I am in the Directory. Light snacks and beverages will be provided.

Joy,
Ann Gaber, Welcome Chair

Pick some up, sign out how many and bring back the stubs and money. Easy as we can make it!
Bring a few dollars to buy tickets for the Opportunity Quilt, $5 for three tickets gets your name in a drawing for three more.

Peggy Clark & Janet Taylor

All are welcome to participate — this is being organized through the Bits and Pieces sit-n-stitch (not as a regular Guild class). Teresa Miller is collecting names of people interested in learning to make a puzzle-style t-shirt quilt. The instructor would be Diane Kelly. Check out her site: www.ottercreekquilts.com . The class would cost $45 and includes materials.

If at least 6 people are interested a date will be determined.

Optionally, you can buy templates ($150) and/or a book ($25) from Diane Kelley.

Teresa is a new member and so you won’t find her in last year’s directory. But if you are interested, Jeanne can provide her contact info.

Anyone who has joined the guild in the last year or so or even longer ago is invited to my home for an informal gathering to ask questions and share interests in order to better understand what the various elements of Quilters Unlimited are. (I found it difficult to make sense of all the names of members, sit and stitch groups, challenges, shows, and projects.)

We will meet at my home on Thursday, February 20 from 5:30 until 7:00. I will serve beverages and light snacks. You may contribute a snack, if you wish, of course.

If you have a project in progress or completed to show, it is a great opportunity to ask questions and share methods or thoughts on them.

RSVP, if possible, but last-minute decisions are ok too.

Joy,
Ann Gaber
My information is in the QU directory.

We are pleased to announce two fantastic opportunities for Quilters Unlimited members.

On Thursday March 13th Rita Verroca will thrill and entertain us with her trunk show! Rita is an internationally acclaimed appliqué artist. She lives in Colonial Beach, Virginia and teaches around the globe. She has won several AQS awards, her quilts have been on magazine covers and she has written a book Baltimore Album of Roses. Check out her historic blocks on her website. These blocks are a true work of art-as are the many quilts she has produced. You won’t be disappointed!

Next, on Friday March 14th she will offer a workshop that will teach hand piecing and BEGINNERS needle turn appliqué. Skinny stems? Yes, that will be covered. One of the things that I have learned by really learning how to hand piece, is my MACHINE SEWING has gotten so much better! It’s amazing! All you will need to bring are sewing supplies-no machines! The pattern and material kit are included.

The workshop is starting to fill up. Please register online to secure your spot!

Call Cheryl Gratt for any questions, her number is in the QU directory.

Rita is also conducting a 3 – 6 day Retreat at Wakulla Springs from 3.16-3.21.2025. If you are interested in information, please let Cheryl know and she will email you information!
