  In July we celebrate Independence - and what better way to celebrate than to get together for a huge show-and-tell?  July's guild meeting will focus on getting to know each other and sharing what we've been up to (quilting-wise) during the COVID quarantine. 

  We will also have a special guest in attendance to share her knowledge about judging and evaluating quilts to further prepare us for the upcoming 2022 Festival of Quilts - a celebration of quilting.

  We will also be voting for viewer's choice on the panel challenge, which will be displayed at our IN PERSON get together at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum on Saturday, July 10th.

  Windy Wonders: A Quilt Block Grows Ups

  AN EVENING WITH THE STASH BANDIT, DIANE HARRIS

  From one humble block comes this parade of unique quilt designs.  Diane started making Baby Windmills years ago and soon realized how many things she could do with them.  She's on a lifelong quest to make every such quilt that lives in her head.

  Windy Wonders touches on the concepts of value, scale, color and creativity.  See how one simple idea can take root, grow, morph and reproduce in exciting ways.  Most of the quilts are scrappy, so there will be plenty of ideas from the Stash Bandit for letting the fabric do the work.

  Seeing Double

  AN EVENING WITH TAMMY SILVERS 

  Ever wonder - what would this quilt look like if I made it in another color way? If I used plaids and stripes instead of florals? Well, I can't tell you what EVERY quilt would look like, but we can explore some practical examples together! In a fun format, we will compare quilts made in florals versus batiks, reproduction fabrics versus crisp modern prints, brights versus pastels. Gather inspiration and insight into the choices for your next project!
