Kris’ “Blooming Nine Patch” Quilt Class

January 21, 2023 @ 9:00 am 3:00 pm

So you didn’t win the 2022 Opportunity Quilt but you still want one of your own?

Our January class is here to show you how. Kris will walk you through the steps to make a smaller version, measuring 56″ x 68″ with five fabrics. If you would like to make a larger version, just let her know how many colors you want to use and she can calculate the additional yardage you will need.

Contact Kris C. with your interest so we can get you started on registration, and to receive the fabric requirements for the class.

January 2023 General Membership Meeting

January 7, 2023 @ 10:00 am 3:00 pm

Join us for the monthly General Meeting at the FDC!

Come early at 9am to visit and see your buddies so that we can get started at 10am.

Before the meeting, see the following people as you settle in:

  • Fat Quarter Exchange / Evelyn – “Quilters Choice” Bring what you like for the drawing. Please remember- if you bring three FQ,  you will have 3 chances to win, but can only win once per month.
  • Monthly fundraiser baskets / Virginia  – It is your LAST chance to win a basket by Virginia as she steps away from the monthly fundraiser.

Kris will be starting us the new BOM program for the year.

Barring any shutdown regulations, we will see each other in person.

~*~*~*~
PLEASE NOTE: We are continuing our requirements (as voted by the VPQG Executive Board) for attendees to our meetings, classes, and events to be vaccinated for Covid-19. Anyone inside the building for our rental periods must have proof they are fully vaccinated, and post-14 days from their last injection. As voted on by the Executive Board 10/7/22, while we encourage masking at all times when meeting in person, we will allow for participants to remain unmasked where we remain 6-ft apart during classes and workshops. Out of an abundance of caution we will remain masked during General meetings, as we are in closer proximity than a 6-ft distance. We will remain masked for meetings unless actively eating or drinking while adequately spaced. This is a mask over the nose and mouth, and not a face shield.

As this is part of the operation of the Guild, this discussion and vote occurs at the Executive Board Meeting and the topic will not be part of the General meeting.  Until the requirement is rescinded, not masking properly is considered a disruption and you may be asked to leave.

If you have not already been to one of our meetings or events (since 9/2021) at the FDC please send a copy of your CDC vaccination record for COVID-19 or have it ready in hand or on your phone before you enter the building
