Quilt Guild meeting
The regular Membership Meeting of the Fairfield Glade Fantastic Quilt Guild will be Friday, January 20 beginning at 9 AM in the Fellowship Hall of the FFG United Methodist Church (231 Westchester Dr., Fairfield Glade).
After the regular Business Meeting, the Program this month will feature a “READING” about Quilting by President Stephanie Levix.
In addition, Guild Member Sharon O’Shea plans to show different ways to attach sashing that will complete your quilt, one square at a time.
After all quilted squares are “sashed” together, she says you just put on the binding and your project is done. This is a “Quilt as You Go” technique, and Sharon will be offering a Fourth Friday class for this in February.
The Fantastic Quilt Guild is a local group of 100+ quilters who meet on the third Friday of the month at the Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church to further the art of quilting through education, sharing, community outreach, and social camaraderie. They have been meeting since 2002. New members and visitors are always welcome.
