How Do I Quilt It?
Doors open at 9:00am; meeting begins at 9:45am.
The secret to successful quilting is in the planning and preparation. I’ll guide you through the steps I take to make each quilting experience fun and stress free. Once you see my methods, you’ll feel empowered to quilt your own quilts! Learn how I baste my quilts, make a quilting plan, choose thread colors, divide and conquer each task, and apply rich texture with little to no marking of the quilt. I’m also excited to share my quilts and answer any questions you may have.
In Christa's Words:
I’ve been sharing my love of quilting for over 20 years, teaching others to enjoy every part of the quilt-making process. My quilting life changed for the better in 2013 when I discovered my passion for modern quilts and combined it with my style of “perfectly imperfect” machine quilting.
Please bring your Show 'n Tell pieces to share at the meeting and don't forget about the FREE Table!
One Pattern, Many Possibilities
Doors open at 6:00pm; meeting begins at 6:45pm.
I love making the same quilt more than once to explore different layouts, fabrics and machine quilting plans. See how different the same quilt can look just by making a few tweaks! This is your chance to get up close and personal with my latest quilts “in the cloth” and ask any questions you have.
