Lecture
CRAZY QUILTS: The Pride of Victorian Womanhood
Scotti McCarthy from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum will delight us with a trunk show and slide show called CRAZY QUILTS: The Pride of Victorian Womanhood.
Victorian women liked to show off, and they did that by making crazy quilts. Unlike the previous generation—women who made quilts for warmth and utility--Victorians made quilts that only had to be beautiful. As women of leisure, they had time to study art and fancy needlework, and they used this new quilt style to demonstrate their skills. They also used their quilts to tell secrets! Learn about symbolism and the language of flowers. Several great examples of Crazy Quilts will be shown from the Museum’s educational collection.

Workshop
English Paper Piecing
Date: Thursday, October 27th
Time: 9:30 am – 11:30 am
Location: Eaton Public Library, 132 Maple Avenue, Eaton, CO
Cost: $20
English Paper Piecing (EPP)--everything you need to know and were afraid to try. In this two hour workshop fellow guild member Karen Kafka will explore the history of EPP, show examples of EPP, and have participants try different techniques while sewing a hexagon flower. The flower can be used for a potholder, mug rug, table runner, jacket decoration, or if you are really ambitious, a wall hanging or even a quilt! You will receive enough practice pieces to complete one flower.
Supplies to bring:
Hand sewing needle, neutral thread, contrasting thread for basting, glasses if needed for hand sewing, light if needed for hand sewing, scissors, rotating rotary cutting mat (optional), glue pen and refill (optional) and an item you may wish to applique a hexagon flower onto e.g. solid colored pot holder, a pillowcase, a background fabric for a table topper (optional).
Please contact Cindy Sater to register and bring checks in the amount of $20 made out to Pieceable Friends Quilt Guild by the October 18th, 2022 general membership meeting.
