April 2024 meeting recap

The April 2024 meeting was a success – we had members, both old and new, and some guests in attendance!

It was fun to learn what everyone does when they are not quilting. 🙂 As always, there was plenty of inspiring show and tell from our members.

Thanks to members who shared how their thoughts, plans and approaches towards their Heidi Parkes workshop projects, everyone left the meeting excited and optimistic! If you would like to sign up for the workshop, please reach out to Maria (cvamqg.programs@gmail.com)

November 2023 meeting

Mark your calendars!
The CVAMQG November meeting is on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at Quilting Adventures, 6943 Lakeside Ave, Henrico, VA 23228.

In addition to the business meeting, show and tell, and the charity quilt update, we’ll have three great demonstrations for you:

Quilt Facings: No bindings for her, Donna Blalock @donnab317 only faces her stunning quilts. There is no one better to teach this, we’re sure. Donna will demonstrate how to face your quilts, and she even made us a terrific handout to share.

Butterfly Seams: Maria @radmar22 will demonstrate this very cool way to reduce bulk and flatten seams when four seams meet. And it looks so impressive from the back, you may want to finish your quilts wrong-side-out from now on!

Microstitch Basting: Natalie @nataliebmay demonstrated this once before, but since there are so many new members, she’ll do a quick replay. She has found this to be the fastest and least-painful-on-the-back method of basting your quilt sandwich together. And because you’re all going to want one, she will share where to purchase.
