Meeting and Workshop Schedule


Tuesday, April 15, 2025, 7 – 9PM (Doors Open at 6:15)

Monthly Guild Meeting: Lecture with Lynn Dykstra at Westwood Christian Reformed Church
Lecture: Solids and Prints – Using Fabric on Your Shelf / kleinmeisjequilts.blogspot.com / https://www.instagram.com/lrdykstra/?hl=en
Is there fabric in your stash that you can’t figure out how to use?  Take a look at ways to feature fabrics of many varieties in one quilt.  If you liked it enough to buy it, you like it enough to cut it up and use it in one fabulous quilt!  Adding solids frees your thinking to put lots of fabrics together.

Tuesday Morning Quilters: Small Group Ambassadors

Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Workshop: 10AM – 3PM at Parchment Library / 401 S Riverview Dr / Parchment

Workshop with Lynn Dykstra – Using Solids and Prints for the Horizon Quilt
Click here to signup for the workshop. Bring eighths or quarters of 6+ prints and 4+ Kona or Moda Bella solids to the workshop.  They do not need to match.  We will share solids and prints in making a few simple blocks that will showcase those prints.  If your prints are too precious to share, that’s OK – you don’t have to! Included will be cutting and pressing tips to maximize efficiency.    We will make blocks for the Horizon quilt. Click here for additional information to prepare for the workshop (for those who have signed up).
