SUMMARY:Membership Meeting with Colleen McFarlin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the November membership meeting featuring Colleen McFarlin’s lecture on Color Theory/Variation \nColleen started sewing at age 14 and attended a vocational high school for fashion design\, where she learned to make my first quilt. She graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design with a degree in Fibers. Colleen’s quilts have been displayed in galleries from Seattle to Savannah. In 2016\, her quilt ‘Finding Home’ was displayed at QuiltCon in Pasadena\, CA and placed 3rd in the Flying Geese Challenge by American Patchwork + Quilting Magazine. She also proudly had quilts published in 2 different issues of Curated Quilts. \n“Quilting is an incredible art form – it is creative\, beautiful\, challenging\, exciting\, frustrating\, and wonderful! I am so incredibly proud to be a part of this community as a quilt shop owner of Beyond the Bolt in Bristol RI\, pattern designer\, teacher\, and overall quilt enthusiast.” \nIn this lecture\, Colleen will discuss what color theory is and why it matters within quilting. She will go over the color wheel\, explore different values\, and look at samples that go over both. Color value is so important in the success or failure of a quilt\, and it’s important for quilters to see how to successfully use color and value! \n

SUMMARY:Quilts of Valor
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the church to support Quilts of Valor. \nQuilts of Valor Foundation began in 2003 with a dream\, literally a dream. Founder Catherine Roberts’ son Nat was deployed in Iraq. \nAccording to Catherine: The dream was as vivid as real life. I saw a young man sitting on the side of his bed in the middle of the night\, hunched over. The permeating feeling was one of utter despair. I could see his war demons clustered around\, dragging him down into an emotional gutter. Then\, as if viewing a movie\, I saw him in the next scene wrapped in a quilt. His whole demeanor changed from one of despair to one of hope and well-being. The quilt had made this dramatic change. \nThe message of my dream was:      Quilts = Healing.

SUMMARY:Brita Nelson Making Magic\, A Disappearing Block Sample Quilt Class 2
DESCRIPTION:This 6-hour workshop (2 -3 hour days) will be structured similar to a “sew along”.  There are 9 blocks and Brita will teach each one in turn.  She will have 2 cameras\, one on her and the sewing machine\, and one pointing straight down at the cutting mat and pressing surface.  Brita will demonstrate how to make the block along with little tips on accurate piecing and pressing.  Students will then follow along and take turns showing the class how their block came out.  The Zoom features allows Brita to answer questions immediately and help anyone who might be having a little trouble.  As some students finish before others she will show other possible layouts and talk about things like how to enlarge the pattern or use different colors and how these blocks might look in a finished quilt. \nDepending on total number of participants the cost ($650) Will be divided evenly per student.  for example\, if we have 20 participants the cost per student will be 32.50. \n  \nThe class will be scheduled over two Saturdays in February 2023  the 18th & 25 space is limited to 20 participants.
