                  February 18, 2021                    Quilt College

Quilt College? It's exactly what it sounds like! A great opportunity to learn something new. Lindy Yuen will kick off with information based on her experience as a long-arm quilter. She will fill us in on what we need to know to get the best output from our input. Then Darcie Cooper will show us how to make quilted postcards that can actually be sent through the mail. They are adorable and perfect to send to socially-distanced friends and family in this covid days. Lastly, Marcy D'Addio will educate us on how to make quilts from photographs. It will be a spectacular day of new ideas and fresh thinking.

At future meetings we will have speakers such as Geoff Hamada on men in quilting,  Beth Sullivan on t-shirt quilts, Kellie Willey on miniature quilts, and Michele Drovdahl on quilts in fact and fiction. See the list under "Activities" for dates and watch this page for details.

Members, watch your email for zoom meeting details. Non-members, please contact eastsidequilters@gmail.com if you would like to participate in any of our zoom meetings.

Quilt for Pastor Dave

This past fall it was our great pleasure to gift a quilt to Pastor Dave of Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Bellevue where we held our meetings prior to the covid pandemic (and where we hope to all meeting again soon). The project was instigated and organized by our wonderful Outreach organizer Diane Coughlin. She inspired us to make oversized blocks from our batik stashes by giving us a pattern and a coordinated central piece to make wonky log cabin blocks. Guild members picked up center pieces from Diane in the Cross of Christ parking lot and returned completed blocks one week later!  She then sewed them all together and quilted it on her long arm machine. Diane present-ed the quilt to Pastor Dave in November surrounded by about 18 socially-distanced guild members and he was delighted when the big secret was revealed! Thank you Diane and thank you Pastor Dave.
