Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild

The next meeting is Tuesday September 3, 2024 at 10:00 am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 218 Serenada Drive, Georgetown, TX.

The September meeting is Being Kind to Your Body While Quilting by guild member Terre Walker.

In this program, Terre will discuss various strategies to lessen your body stress so that you can piece and quilt longer. She will propose a variety of approaches from simple routine changes to the use of tools and products that can make your creative time more enjoyable. Included in the Powerpoint presentation will be a worksheet handout to reimagine your quilting space arrangement and setup.

Terre took up quilting in 1992 and began teaching by the year 2000. She made her first Judy Niemeyer quilt in 2007 and became a Quiltworx Certified Instructor in 2016.

My Two Baby Sisters Placemat on Wednesday, September 4 at 9:30 am.

In person at Austin Sewing Machines and Quilting, Austin, TX.

LThis class will teach you the Quiltworx method of paper piecing to make a set of 4 placemats sized at 12" x 19" each. The groups include a large star, a small star, and an accent strip. While we will cut out all the components, we will only be piecing a single placemat during the workshop. This class incorporates floating star points and the use of templates for cutting purposes. Like other Quiltworx patterns, this project uses bags to organize and streamline your piecing by units. This class is designed for beginners and intermediate quilters.

A $17 pattern is required. Papers and fabric must be cut prior to the workshop. See the supply list for details.
