Shelley Doyal will lead an EQ8 workshop for us on November 9, 2019.  If you don’t have EQ8 on your computer, no worries – Shelley can install a trial copy for you to use. Please sign up at a meeting or contact Sandra Scharch,

Join Ellen G for this workshop to create the Crooked Path Quilt.  Ellen will break down the steps to make this intricate-looking quilt a breeze to create.  This is a large quilt (approximate size: 80” x 100”) with large blocks for maximum impact.  You can make fewer blocks so it finishes about 60” x 80” without losing the design impact.

Advance reservations are required for this event.  Cost is $25.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:

Two Colorways:

• 2/3 yards each of 10 fabrics for Colorway #1

Bring your embroidery projects, be they hand- or machine-based, and share some time with your fellow embroiderers.  If you are a beginner, learn from the more experienced members of the group.
