"We're Enchanted With Quilting!"
Potluck Dinner & Strip Poker!
Bring a dish you’d like to share and spend an evening of fun and socializing. And it won't be THAT kind of strip poker! Instead, we'll bet and play with 2-1/2" FABRIC strips. Your gaming skills could win you a roll of cash (strips)!
We'll also have Show & Tell at the meeting! If you're attending in person, bring your item with you and if you're attending through zoom, send your photos to Kris Lange, klange@email.com at least 48 hours before the meeting.
Wrapped in Ribbon
Table Runner
with Barbara Gary
The Wrapped in Ribbon table runner pattern was designed by Quiltworx in 2016 as an optional color and block layout for one of their most popular table runner patterns known as the Cactus Flower Table Runner. The cactus block used in this pattern has been used in several Quiltworx patterns in a variety of different layouts. This is a perfect project for this 1-1/2 day workshop as it goes together very quickly! The "Wrapped in Ribbon" table runner finishes at 17" X 51"
Barbara Gary is a certified Quiltworx instructor from New Mexico -- and a former NMQA president!
There is a required $25 pattern fee, payable to the instructor.

"More Quilts and Lots of Helpful Hints"
Barbara Gary will be back to share more of her extensive knowledge about Quiltworx patterns and techniques!
Barbara grew up on the western slope of Colorado and began sewing at a young age. She began the quilting journey when her mother-in-law taught her the process of assembling a quilt top, layering it on a frame and after chores were completed the frame was lowered from the ceiling and busy hands stitched rows of quilting.
Following the Membership Meeting, the FuNdraising Committee will host an in-person sew-in. There will be craft kits available to work on - Jar Openers, Microwave Bowls, Small Wall Hangings…. Just bring your sewing machine, various colored threads, and basic tools.
And bring your lunch too!
