Guest Lecturer: Jean Impey
Doors open at 9:00am; meeting begins at 9:45am.
The spider web design made a huge impression on Jean back in 2007. She started making one and then found she couldn’t make them fast enough to keep up with all the ideas that originated from this one design.
Jean loves sharing her spider webs with others, showing them how one thing leads to another and when you find something that clicks, you need to keep at it, maybe you call it a series?
Jean brings slides and samples featuring over 100 quilts to show along with her Spider Web Series to demonstrate how “Passion” can take over and lead you on an amazing path.
Please bring your Show 'n Tell pieces to share at the meeting
Doors open at 6:00pm; meeting begins at 6:45pm.

How Do I Quilt It?
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
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.
