During our annual January Community Quilt Day, we will be social while sewing for others.  After a brief guild meeting, you will work on quilts for children in need or adult quilts for Homeward Bound.  All materials are cut to size so all you will need is your machine, scissors, thread and pins.  

If you are unable to bring your sewing machine please email Nancy Dalzell at mailto:ndalzell34@att.net.  We have a very limited number of non sewing jobs.

Lunch will be provided by the Guild.  Please register so we know how many we are feeding.  Thanks!

Working with Fence Rail

Learn techniques to make a pieced quilt top worthy of any judge's eye. You will learn how to prepare your fabric and cut it with precision. Then you will learn how to sew the strips together precisely and cut them into blocks.  The blocks will be assembled in a way that guarantees a flat quilt top.  NancyLynn will guide you through these steps using your own equipment and fabric.  This class is designed for advanced beginners.
