As the Guild enters 2021, there are still a lot of unknowns regarding the COVID pandemic and our ability to meet in-person. Since we are not able to book programs with national speakers in advance, we are going to plan ahead as much as we can and keep our members updated as soon as we have firm information. Thanks for your patience as we all work through this together.

January 21 - "Organization" is the theme for this month's meeting!
1: What questions do you as a member have about the upcoming year? Or what suggestions do you have for topics for the programs? We want to hear what is on you mind. 2: The second topic will be a short video which gives some ideas on how to organize your fabric scraps. But — as you know — there are many ways to organize your fabric stash or your sewing room. If you have an idea, we’ll have a show and tell so you can share. Please inspire us! Join us via Zoom! Watch for an email with a link to the meeting. February 18 - Stitch Meditations
The last 12 months have taken all of us out of our routine. With the events going on around us, we often just wanted – or needed – to stay safe at home. We may not have felt comfortable going into a crowded store or to a meeting with other people. So what can we do with the materials we have at home to keep us busy, use our skills and create a work of art? Our February program features Liz Kettle, a textile artist based in Colorado Springs. She will introduce us to Stitch Meditations. It is a way for us to create art and relieve stress at the same time! Don’t worry … it’s not another project that will take money and extensive time to complete. Instead, it’s a way to use what we have in materials (fabric, thread, embellishments) combined with the skills we’ve developed over the years to complete a piece of art in less than 45 minutes! Come join us….and learn about Stitch Meditations from Liz Kettle. Join us via Zoom! Watch for an email with a link to the meeting. March 18 - From Trash to Treasure with Laura Winckel
The saying, “One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure” couldn’t be more true for Laura Winckel. During this amazing lecture “From Trash to Treasure” she explores the various ways she has rescued quilts from places such as trash filled dumpsters,
cluttered closets, and cobwebbed attics (just to name a few). Listeners will be fascinated as she reveals the refurbishing and creation of the collection she has built over the years; each piece possessing its own unique story. The assortment of artwork includes an array of 1930s feed sacks and fabrics to feed sack quilts. Quilts dating back from the 1800s to present day, Laura’s gift brings the past to the here and now. From stained to stunning, and incomplete to incredible, Laura’s journey of transforming homeless fabric into priceless treasures is a story of talent and magic that shouldn’t be missed.
