It was wonderful to see so many people join us at our opening reception! We had approximately 75 guests celebrate with us at the Albert A. Bartlett Science Communication Center, University of Colorado, Boulder. The evening was full of joy and emotion surrounding the beautiful quilts hanging in our show, An Exploration in Sustainable Modern Quilting.
Special thank yous to the Sustainability, Energy and Environment Community, Faurot Construction and DIV 6 Millwork, the BoulderMQG show committee and jurors, and special guest juror and maker of the lovely participation ribbons, Stephanie Ruyle.
The show will hang through December 14. It can be viewed on the East Campus of CU Boulder M-F, 8am-5pm. Find more details about show location and parking information here.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The October Open Sew is Sunday, October 21, 9am-4pm. Join us at Alfalfa’s in Louisville for a fun day of sewing and socializing. The Round Robin quilt tops will be revealed and presented back to their owners after 4 months of additions. We will also be working on finishing the 2019 QuiltCon charity quilt. Bring your own projects to work on and come to help assemble the charity quilt. If you will be attending, please RSVP.
The Community Outreach Committee has prepared quilt kits filled with fabric that was donated to our guild for members to take home and sew at their leisure. Each kit contains all the fabric and batting needed to complete a quilt. However, members are free to choose what they want to sew, i.e. piece a top and or a backing, sandwich a quilt and/or quilt it, prepare binding and/or sew it on, or do all the steps. These kits will be available beginning at the October Open Sew.
The October Block of the Month tutorial is on the blog, find it here. We have big plans for our 2019 BOM so get stitching and catch up with your 2018 blocks! Only 2 more to go.
Our next evening meeting is Thursday, November 1, 6-8:30pm, at Alfalfa’s in Louisville. The presentation will be on UFOs. Rebecca will walk us through steps we can take to prioritize and to finish up our unfinished objects. Join us for a presentation filled with motivation to sew those long lost projects into usable finishes.
