Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild Memories
April 3, 2013
Spring Retreat
Let's take a trip down memory lane to 13 years ago at the Spring Retreat held at Watson Homestead in Corning, NY. If you attended the event or recognize anyone in the photos, we would love for you to share your memories!
Five comfort quilts, nine We Honor With Quilts for veterans in hospice care, four Humble Haversacks and three Bumble Bags for the Humble Bumble Project, and eighteen placemats for Meals on Wheels were donated at the March meeting!
Thank you to everyone who donates their materials, time, and talent to the guild's outreach program!
The Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild's March meeting featured a presentation from Linda Vannederynen, co-owner of Quilter’s Corner. During her talk, she introduced the members to Quick Curve Rulers developed by Sew Kind of Wonderful, which are specifically designed to simplify sewing curved quilt blocks. Following the meeting, guild members participated in a hands-on workshop where they had the chance to create a variety of projects utilizing these rulers. This workshop provided an opportunity to learn new quilting techniques, making the day both informative and full of fun for everyone.
At their February gathering, members of PATCH embraced the saying, "When life hands you scraps, make a quilt!" Drawing inspiration from Victoria Findlay Wolfe's book, 15 Minutes of Play, the group crafted freestyle quilt blocks using small scraps. Once completed, this comfort quilt will be donated to a local charity, spreading warmth and kindness to someone in need.
