Wednesday, August 24th, 2011Introducing the Guild One Stop “Lectshop”!
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010In this economy it is hard for guilds to get members to commit to workshops but those same members want local and famous quilters to come Lecture at their guild meetings. Well I think I have a solution to this dilemma. I call it the Lectshop,this is a mini lecture with a hands on demonstration where members can participate and those members who would prefer to watch can come up close and see how things are done.
The lecture part would be 20-30 minutes and could include a small trunk show. The mini workshop would be 45 minutes -1 hour. The total cost for the Lectshop will vary with the type of mini workshop requested. The cost to the members who want to participate will be less than $10 for nitrile gloves , cloth apron and directions. The protection/directions kit will be available to the members before I start the demonstration and they can pay me directly(cash).The members can also bring their own protection(but will still need to pay for the directions $2).
The Lectshop is ideal for small guilds ,quilt shows without loads of money or an interest in expensive workshops. If you know of any guild,quilt show,church,4-H group or youth organization who would be interested in the Lectshop please give them the link to this page!
The recycle,reduce,reuse challenge is extended into November!
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009All you Amoskeag quilters who are trying to be greener in your life…here is your chance to spread your wings and fly right. Accept the Guild Challenge and join other guild members in our attempt to do a project only from what materials you find in the bins at guild meetings or in yours or your friends stash. Remember you are not restricted to quilted items. Think way out of the box or bag and join us. The winners of the Challenge (due in February)will be shown at the May 14-16th Biennial Quilt show.
Get with it…think green!
