September 20 – 22 Quilt Show and Vendor Mall

Sawmill Creek Resort and Convention Center in Huron Ohio

Join us for our 6^th year of offering machine quilting classes in a beautiful relaxing setting.

We have teachers who are some of the best in the business.  Quilting with Machines is not just about longarm quilting.  Along with longarm classes, we offer classes for midarm and domestic machine quilting with wonderful national teachers as well.  We also offer several beautiful piecing classes for those of you who are not quite ready to make the jump to machine quilting.

Our venue also offers a quilt show that is just for machine quilters and a vendor mall with lots of tools, patterns, and gadgets for quilting as well as some very interesting fabrics.

Class registration is open and the small hands on classes fill quickly, early registration is encouraged.

Annapolis, MD Quilt Quilt Presents:  Quilts by the Bay

See annapolisquiltguild.org

The Main Line Quilters Guild Challenge for 2012 is about “Stars” and how they inspire us in poetry, song lyrics, and quilts.

Challenge Quilt Requirements:

1. The challenge quilt this year will feature the ‘Star’. Choose a quote or verse from a poem or song that you find inspiring and create a quilt top.

2. The word star does not have to be in the title of the poem or song you chose for the quilt’s inspiration. But the title, the author and the line(s) that you used for inspiration needs to be somewhere on the quilt, front or back.

3. There is no one required “same fabric” that we all use. You may use any fabric you desire. However, you do need to incorporate a polka dot/dotted fabric of choice somewhere on the quilt top.

4. On the front of your quilt, the use of metallic thread needs to be used as an embellishment.

5. The quilt may be pieced or appliquéd; use any method you prefer.

As always, should you choose to participate, finished quilts are due at the December Tea.

Have fun and let your imagination run wild!!!!
