Updated January 30 -- Upcoming Quilted Hooded Jacket Workshop

NOTE -- Signups for this workshop have now begun. Check your February newsletter for details or use the comment form on this blog post.



When: Saturday, February 23rd  9:00AM - 4:00PM
Where: Fellowship Hall at the First Presbyterian Church (next to the Gmeiner in Wellsboro)
Cost: $10 (does not include lunch)
Maximum number of students: 10
By popular demand, Betty has agreed to teach how to make the quilted hooded jacket that she showed at show and tell back in the fall and at the January guild meeting. The pattern is no longer available, but Betty will provide a few patterns in different sizes for students to share. The one that Betty showed was a size SMALL. She says that the pattern is easy and that you don’t need to be a seamstress to make it. If you can sew a quilt, you can sew this.
The jacket requires 2 1/2 yards of quilted fabric for size Small; you’ll need more if you make a larger size. The fabric can be store-bought or quilted at home by you before the class. Solid or patchwork will work.
Other supplies include 1/2 yard fabric for binding (contrasting or the same as the main fabric), a 22-inch separating sport zipper, long pins to pin through two layers of quilted fabric, a sewing machine, and your usual sewing supplies. If you have a serger, that will be even better.

Information on how to sign up is in the February MLQG newsletter.

Three Days and Counting

 Just three more days until the opening of the MLQG 2012 Exhibit at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center in Wellsboro, PA. Everyone is welcome to attend the gala evening reception on Friday, September 7th, 7:00 - 9:00PM and view the gorgeous quilts. Door prizes and refreshments included!

A big "THANK YOU" goes out to all MLQG members who submitted entries, helped with registration and hanging, and assisted with any other aspect in preparation for this year's exhibit. Our guild is such a success mainly because of our dedicated volunteers who help with all sorts of things throughout the year.

And to entice you to come see the exhibit...here are a few photos of the preparations....

Hmmm...maybe a little bit to the left...no, a little to the right...


I'm taking this one home with me...no, you're not, I am...no, I am...

Are we done yet?

After several long hours, the volunteers start to act silly...no names given to protect the innocent.
