Monthly guild meeting

Karla Alexander Lecture and Trunk Show

LIFT THE QUILTS OUT OF YOUR STASH

An informative discussion for quilt makers of all skill levels and experience. You will be looking at your stash in a whole new way and actually start using your fabric rather than just admiring it! Enjoy the confidence you’ll gain exploring traditional and untraditional quilt methods by adding your own twist! Tips will inspire excitement, creating unexpected surprises ready to be quilted into your next project! Challenge yourself to take small or bold steps as you learn to work with your fabric and create your own methods and styles. A trunk show with lots of and lots of quilts will illustrate many different styles of quilts as well as subjects discussed.

About Karla Alexander

Karla Alexander is a prolific quilter. She’s written several quilting books, designed a line of patterns under the name Saginaw Street Quilt Company, and developed several Specialty Rulers with Creative Grids. We’re lucky that she lives in Salem – in addition to bringing quilts for her trunk show, she will be bringing some patterns and perhaps some rulers.
