- May - I would like to use this month as a workshop for the guild to prepare fabrics, crafts and salable items for our Spring Show in May 2019. In the months leading up to May, I will be making time to meet with our committee volunteers to discuss planning and present some ideas for quick easy crafts that we can make.
- June - Matthew Emerson, a High Point University Professor from the Department of Theater and a High Point Guild member will be giving a use of color presentation as well as bringing his own quilts for show and tell.
- July - As a precursor to Pat Sloan's presentation and workshop in August, I have scheduled speaker Sherri Fields to give a presentation and workshop on machine applique at our guild meeting, Monday, July 2nd. Since we will be making a background in the August workshop with Pat to showcase our applique, I thought it would be a good idea for those of us who aren't familiar with applique to learn some new techniques as well as being a refresher workshop for our more experienced applique quilters. Sherri will provide the freezer paper, slide presentation and hands on instruction. Come to sew or observe. All are welcome! Materials list will be provided as we get closer to our July meeting.
- August - We will be hosting a presentation by Pat Sloan, quilt author, radio/podcast show Producer/host and fabric designer, at the Swisher Center on Monday, August 6 with a workshop on Tuesday August 7, location and time to be announced. Pat's workshop on Tuesday will be "Wild and Free" - Create Quilts with Personality. In this workshop you will learn Pat's tricks to "punch up" your applique quilt backgrounds. No more neutral tan or beige backings. Bring on the Color and the pattern to make your quilts sing! Pat's classic and popular "Mama's Garden" is the project quilt. There are currently 6 members signed up with 16 spots still available for the workshop!
- Cost for members is $42, non-members is $49.
- Skill level: Intermediate and up.
- There will be a $5 admittance fee to non-members for Pat's presentation, Monday, August 6.
