President's Note

Love being able to share the love of quilting with others.  July 25th a group from our guild will be going to Bridges Senior Living to do a trunk for the residents showing different styles and techniques of quilts.  Sharing is caring, each quilter learns along the way of their quilting journey.  Where are you on your journey? Just beginning, confident quilter, advanced quilter.  Quilting in not a race but a journey where we meet new friends, learn new techniques, improve and gain confidence from those around you.

Program  for August

Scott Flanagan's quilting journey started at the age of 7 sewing alongside his grandmother making quilts for Lutheran World Relief. He started 4th and Main Designs in 2011. His patterns have been frequently found in Quiltmaker, McCalls Quilting, and Fons & Porter magazines as well as Country Traditions where he works.
He has two strong quilting philosophies: (1) A quilt is only hard if you have been told it is hard and (2) you learn some of the best lessons from the mistakes made along the quilting Journey. He strives to write patterns that no matter how hard they look a confident beginner with sewing experience could handle. Every effort has been made to make sure all cutting and sewing directions are accurate and have been presented in good faith.
