October 21 Meeting
Dorene Joyce will be our speaker for the October meeting. She has some very creative ideas to share with us.
Because Dorene will be presenting the meeting remotely via Zoom, it will also be available to off-site members via zoom. The link will be sent next week.
The workshop will be delayed until November 1. The cost will be $10. Please sign up and pay at the October meeting. She will teach us how to make portrait quilts of our loved ones, whether that is a person or a pet.
November 1 Workshop
Portrait Quilt Class with Dorene Joyce from Fort Worth, TX — Create with Heart & Technology!
Discover a fresh, joy-filled approach to portrait quilting that blends the charm of coloring book simplicity with the magic of modern tools. In this hands-on class, you’ll transform a favorite photo—whether it’s a beloved pet, cherished friend, or treasured memory—into a stunning fabric portrait using easy-to-learn techniques and accessible technology.
What you'll love:
- No reversing or turned edges—just intuitive collage-style layering
- AI-assisted pattern creation that makes design feel effortless
- Step-by-step guidance to help you turn fabric into a meaningful work of art
- A nurturing, creative space where quilters of all skill levels can thrive
Whether you're new to portrait quilts or ready to explore a playful new method, this class is your invitation to create something truly special. Come join us—and let your fabric tell a story - Let’s quilt the faces that make our hearts full.
Sign up and pay the $10 fee at the October 21 meeting
Profits will be calculated differently for the next show. Instead of % based on membership numbers, it will be based on participation (board, committee chairs, NTQF volunteer hours, EXPO volunteer hours, and number of quilts entered). So we need to ALL help in next year’s show to have money for our guild. More details to come.
And NTQF has already put in an order for Tshirts. They will be $20 each in pre-sales, $22 at the show.
Sherri Edwards Show and tell
A quilt that was gifted to an out of town friend between meetings. The pattern is called “ Firm Foundation” and it is made up of church blocks and a fabric panel of scriptures cut into squares. It was a kit called “Things Above” from Fancy That Designs that I bought on Etsy.
