Misty Mountain Quilters Guild

North Georgia - North Carolina

MMQG General Meetings & Monthly Calendar

February General Meeting: Tuesday, February 25!

First United Methodist Church - Blairsville (on Route 515, opposite Meeks Park)

Our speaker will be Tara Miller, from Atlanta, GA. She is known for her scrap and repurposed fabric quilts.

On Wednesday, February 26th, at the Civic Center, she will lead a workshop using her techniques for her pattern, Fan Girl- A Crazy Lady! "With a circa 1910 crazy quilt as our inspiration, we’ll make fan blocks using simple, quick, and fun methods. Students use decorative or straight stitches on their machine to create this quilt. I’ll show you how to use the simple herringbone embroidery stitch to add an additional layer of design to the straight-stitch applique. This workshop is great for the confident beginner, but is also loads of fun for experienced piece makers. The result is a bold and graphic design! (Pattern has fabric requirements for a pillow front, table runner, and quilt.)"

This class costs $30, and the downloadable pattern is $12.

Please contact Susan Slaton if you are interested, so she knows how many people are coming and so you can get the supply list and pattern download instructions.

Retreat registration is postponed until the February 25 General Meeting.
