Quilter University • November 7, 2020

Below is our awesome line-up for Quilter University on November 7, 2020! Do not miss this meeting where our talented members will be demonstrating on trend techniques. You will be sure to pick up a new skill and even learn something new. 

Laura Heine Collage Rooster Tutorial with Sarah Sass
Have you ever wondered how to make a collage quilt by Laura Heine? Time to dust off those unopened Laura Heine patterns.  Sarah will show you how it’s fun and easy.

Quilt Marking for Free Motion Quilting with Kelley Bachli
There are a lot of different quilt marking methods and products available for free motion quilting.  Discover different techniques to use to get a variety of beautiful quilting motifs.

Rope Bowls with Candy Scott
Making rope bowls is my go to when I need a break from other projects, or just to relax. From coasters, to trivets, to rope bowls, etc., it is just fun.  The best part, if you don’t like it, you can easily rip it apart and make something else.  Just a zig zag stitch, thread, and rope no larger than 5/16” in diameter and you can make something unique.  Great ready to have a little fun and create something different.

Curves with Patti Reyes
Are you afraid to sew curves? Whether its circles for a drunkards path quilt or curved piecing for an improv quilt. Patti will show you just how easy it is to sew beautiful curves. 

A Different Approach to Foundation Paper Piecing with Annie Houston Does your brain do somersaults when you try foundation paper piecing?  My favorite tools for foundation paper piecing are freezer paper and my light box. Come along with me and I’ll help your brain and your piecing. 

What an amazing line-up of skills and quilters. Watch your emails for the Zoom Codes for November–you won’t want to miss this one.

Our Guild provides us a chance to find our tribe, so to speak, so if you want to come and hang out with a few of the quilters, we now have Drop-in Sew. Our dates for November are both Mondays: the 2nd and the 16th, from 7-9 p.m. Watch for your Zoom link!

In addition, we have a Meet-N-Eat scheduled for November 11, 2020. We’ll be meeting from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bring your lunch and join in with friends at Shamel Park, Riverside. It is just off the 91 freeway (Arlington Exit). The address is 3650 Arlington Ave, Riverside, California

Want to watch a class and keep your skills up to date?

Recently they’ve opened it up to everyone, and on there you can locate teachers who offer “open enrollment” classes online. Check out their website, follow the directions, and grab a chance to watch some classes.

At our General Meeting on November 7th, we also have a couple of surprises for you, and hope you can attend. Please also be aware that it will soon be time to pay our dues, and submit your membership form for 2021. More information will be given out at the meeting. See you there!
