Emergency Need!

Guild Members!  We have been asked to fill an urgent need.

The Coast Guard ship in town is in need of 46 adult sized masks!  They can be any style and shape.

Many of you have been making them for family and friends, so use what ever pattern and materials that you have been using.

If you're new to making them, Bonnie Hunter has a great tutorial here.  Like many of you, I have been making them and have used this pattern here.

Finished masks are to be delivered to Angela, the Physical Therapist at the hospital.  Your help is needed and appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

Group Quilt Class and Another Drawing!

We have another super fun activity planned for everyone this weekend!

Marcela will be doing a group class to demonstrate this beautiful Feather Your Nest Table Runner by Monica Curry of Cut Stitch and Piece.  You can purchase and download the pattern by clicking HERE.  The demonstration will start this Saturday at 1pm using the Facebook Messenger app.  To join in the fun, here is what you need to do:

1. Message Marcela on Facebook to let her know you are going to participate so she knows to add you to the group chat.  You can also send her a text message. 
2. Purchase and download the pattern.
3. On Saturday, April 11th at 1pm join the Messenger group and enjoy the demo with the group.
4. Share pictures of your progress on Instagram by tagging us @cdv_northwind_quilters or by email through April 30th to be entered into the drawing for a gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop.  If you finish your table runner and post photos by April 30th, you get a second entry!

This online class and drawing is only open to our Guild members.  If you are not a member and would like to join, please use the form in the right hand column and follow the instructions for dues in the form.

We hope to see you all there!  

Quilt-A-Long and a Drawing

We are definitely missing our times to get together and sew and visit.  With both our March and April Time to Sew Events cancelled and our Spring Retreat postponed until further notice, our members have been coming up with ideas on how we can still sew together while social distancing. Since we can’t get together and quilt, we have some fun online events to keep us sewing together and sharing with each other.

Let’s get started with a Quilt-A-Long featuring the free Plaidish quilt pattern from Kitchen Table Quilting, which you can find and download Here.  This is pretty simple with no online meetups required (unless you guys want one-we can make it happen!) and you can create at your own pace.

Here’s how it works:

• The Quilt-A-Long will run from today to May 31st.  You have that long to participate and complete your project (officially-we all quilt at our own pace so don’t feel obligated to rush yourself!).  
• Periodically share your project with the Guild by posting photos on Instagram and tag us @cdv_northwind_quilters OR email me your photos at sevans7429@gmail.com.  
• When you have completed your quilt top (just the top!), post a picture in the same manner. 

For everyone who participates and shares their progress (at least a seam sewn) with the Guild, you will be entered in a drawing for a gift certificate to Fat Quarter shop!  For everyone who completes a top, you will be entered a second time.  We will draw on June 1*.

Stay tuned for some more fun projects and gatherings coming your way!

**Please note the drawing is only open to current Guild members.
