Quilt by Andi Cullins from the exhibit Code Switch at the Virginia Quilt Museum
Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 11. (Reminder that the room will open at 5:45, and the meeting begins at 6:15.) The agenda includes:
Art quilt block of the month: Carolyn is leading us in this exploration, based on Art Quilt Workbook by Jane Davila and Erin Waterston, available at the library. The quilt size is 9 x 12, the lesson is color theory, and we will start choosing color palettes at the meeting.
Reminder about trunk shows at upcoming meetings and our fall workshop with the amazing Lyric Kinard!
We had talked about setting up some visits to local quilt shops and museums, so here is a propsal for our first venture, a road trip to the Virginia Quilt Museum on Saturday, May 4th or 11th. It’s about a two-hour drive through beautiful country to Harrisonburg, where the museum is located. We could meet at the Salem Church Library at 9:00, visit the museum, have lunch nearby and perhaps do a bit of shopping at one of the amazing quilt shops in the area (Patchwork Plus is 15 minutes away), arriving back in Fredericksburg around 5:00. Other ideas? We’ll discuss further at the meeting.
Calling all longarmers! There is interest in compiling a list of guild members who are also longarmers. If this is you, please email the guild at fredericksburgmqg@gmail.com with details (location, price, contact info, and anything else you’d like to include). We can then send the list out to members.
Show and Tell!
