April 2024 – Workshop
“Lone Star Wall Hanging”
Our Tri-County Quilt Guild member and Vice President, Elaine Bullard, will be teaching us how to make a 32 inch wall hanging “Lone Star Quilt.” The project will use strip sets and does not have any “Y Seams.” The project is jelly roll or yardage friendly. The Lone Star quilt is an 8 point star built on pieced diamond shapes.
Elaine will guide us through constructing a basic 3 x 3 diamond after giving us some instruction on color choices and placement. After making the diamonds, she will show you how to apply the background fabric so you do not need to use “Y Seams” Cost of the class is $35.
Class size is limited to 15 students and will be held at Bobbins and Threads Quilt Shop, 10130 Grant Rd from 10 to 4ish.
May 2024
May 7, 2024 Lecture – Ann Moore “Ann Moore Quilting” out of Huntsville, Tx will give her lecture on her quilting journey with her quilts from the time she began to present. Ann, a free motion quilting instructor, fell in love with the Westalee Rulers when she discovered them at the Houston International Festival.
Teaching quilting with rulers was a natural progression, and students find that ruler work is much easier and rewarding. She incorporates ruler work and free motion quilting into her quilts and classes, if requested. At the Houston Festival in 2023, her Artisan Garden received a Livestock Show and Rodeo Blue Ribbon award. This quilt was originally designed as a teaching tool using the quilt-as –you-go method, and she knew the quilt needed more. She added corded binding and bicone crystal beads of various sizes to embellish the quilt.
