  Join us to design the format and host for a meeting that meets via Zoom on the first Monday of the month at 7 PM.

  Please attend and contribute your thoughts to help us shape this meeting to meet your needs.  Formal?  Informal?  Structured? Show and Tell focused? Topic or Skill driven? Please bring your ideas. It might even be a recurring mixer meeting so we can all get to know each other better since there's little opportunity to interact during the educational meetings on the third Monday evening of the month.

  2025 Officer Installation

  and

  Flying Geese Four Ways

  We will rotate through four stations set up around the room, seeing demonstrations of four different ways to create flying geese blocks. This portion of the meeting will be hosted by Alberta Dalke with individual demonstrations by Alberta Dalke, Mary Davis, Marie Kostamo, and one more.

  Then, get inspired, be inspiring as you view or share your projects.  Hear guild updates and chat with other quilters at our monthly daytime meeting. Enjoy the fun of the "Back Table" where you can bring or pick up fabric/notions/patterns/quilt magazines.  Before you go home, you must take home anything you brought that still remains. This meeting is being offered in person at St. Giles Church located at 8271 52nd St. N, Pinellas Park, FL 33781 and over Zoom. 

  *The Food Pantry is next door to our meeting room.  We will be collecting Food Drive Donations if you'd like to make one.

  Join us to work on lap quilts for wheel chairs or your own projects

   We will be meeting in person at St. Giles Church located at 8271 52nd St. N, Pinellas Park, FL 3378; it will also be available over Zoom. 
  

  *If you'd like to make $5 donation to offset the cost of renting the room, it will be appreciated.  Please bring a brown bag lunch and beverage.  A refrigerator is available.

  Lap Quilts for wheel chairs should finish approximately 32-36 inches wide by approximately 42 inches long.  This is a great stash buster! Some fabric will be provided, but please bring your own if possible. You can use charm squares, 6", 7", etc. squares to make a quick "top" (or any pattern you desire), or even do a "whole cloth" style. Use fabric or flannel for the backing (no batting required). In lieu of binding, a placemat style stitch around and turn inside out, with cross hatch quilting to secure the quilt for many washings, is all you need to finish it!

  Additional details, suggested supplies, etc. are here.

  Color tools for artists don’t end with the color wheel. Learn about a variety of tools and inspiration right at our fingertips to help plan pleasing palettes for future quilts. Emma will demonstrate how to use these tools to build confidence using color and fabrics starting from your stash for beautiful and unique color combinations. She will show quilts to illustrate points, and even invite guild members to showcase their own quilts as well.
