Our Upcoming Year
Quick View
The EDQG has a dedicated Program Committee that is committed to bringing our members interesting speakers and some fun things to do. Many thanks to Susan J., Cheryl M., Elinor B., Selene A., Cynthia KB and Karen S. for their contributions.
Circumstances have led us to having our first few presenters by Zoom. While we love having speakers on-site, Zoom offers us an opportunity to have speakers who don’t live in the area. And of course, Zoom is super-convenient for those who can’t make it to a meeting in person.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we can resume our in-person meetings soon!
Looking ahead at Speakers:
In November, our very own Kim Caskey will host a video about a moving challenge project from Europe. This might inspire you to complete a project of this kind yourself!
And in January, we will be joined by Theresa Benson, an expert in the area of artificial intelligence as it relates to quilting. How do we balance tradition with technology? Perhaps we’ll find out!
New Event!
Vintage Exchange
After Tracey’s inspiring presentation last month, the Program Committee is inviting you to participate in the “vintage” exchange, which will take place in February (assuming we are back to meeting in person!!).
Only 2 simple requirements: your piece must be 5 x 7” and it must have a piece of vintage material in it (lace, doily, embroidery, etc.).
To help members participate in this activity, we have booked the Meadowlark Community hall for the afternoon of November 29th.
There will be vintage material available (or you could bring your own), and Committee and EDQG members will be there to help you get your project underway.
Watch for specific details in the November newsletter.
To help the program committee plan for how many will be attending, please register by completing the form.
For inspiration here are some photos of projects underway or completed!
Please register to attend the Vintage Sewing Day.
Show and tell presentation
There are two options for Show & Tell
-
Send photos of your creations by the Sunday prior to the meeting to be included in the monthly presentation. (email above)
-
Live presentation at the monthly meeting.
Since many of the community quilts are donated before the meeting they will be presented through the Zoom powerpoint.
