Monday, August 27 started out raining so it was a perfert day to go to Hankerd Inn for a workshop with Anita Shackleford - Focus on Fabric. Anita showed us how to take a simple shape to cut out pieces from our focus fabric and then to create a background using a porportional guide throughout the piece.
That evening at the Guild Meeting Anita gave a presentation showing her collection of older quilts that she had purchased and the flaws that had keep them from getting finished. With her eye for detail, she took them apart and put them back together with great care.
Our guest speaker July 30th was Jennifer Burg of Jennifer's Quilt Shop in Pinckney, Mi. Jennifer's love of 30's fabric shown throughout her trunk show. She also carries Civil War Reproduction Fabrics. I think I see many road trips being planned to Pinckney.
Jason Novak from Gall Sewing in Lansing, Michigan spoke at our June Guild Meeting with loads of great information on the proper care of our sewing machine along with tips on the proper thread and needles to use.
