Santa says Ho, Ho, Ho, but we quilters say Sew, Sew, Sew and that’s the theme of our holiday party!

Have a gadget in your sewing room that you just don’t use anymore? Or have a gadget that you love that you’d like to share? Bring it wrapped to our meeting and we’ll swap with fellow members.

Have a wild holiday sweater? (I refuse to call them ugly.) Wear it to the party.  The most “unusual” sweater will win a prize.

Wear you holiday pjs or anything comfy and cozy. Bring your favorite mugs for hot cocoa yumminess.

Holiday Refreshments: Hospitality will host their North Pole Hot Cocoa station.  Members are invited to bring holiday refreshments on a throw away serving dish.
Last Names A - I:  bring an appetizer
Last Names J - Z: bring something sweet




WHAT'S HAPPENING IN 2025

In January, we’ll welcome accomplished quilter Charisma Horton to our guild meeting.

Charisma Horton is a highly acclaimed and award-winning professional in the world of quilting. She became a professional long arm quilter in 2010 and began publishing patterns in 2018. She’s the ultimate pattern partner for fabric companies like Free Spirit, Timeless Treasures and Riley Blake to name a few. Her personal patterns are available on her website: www.charismascorner.com and on her Etsy shop: @charismascorner

In the realm of design, Charisma's artistic style knows no bounds. From charming and folksy hand embroidered designs to bold and vibrant modern creations, her portfolio encompasses a diverse range of styles. One of Charisma's unique talents lies in her ability to infuse traditional quilt blocks with a fresh and contemporary appeal, using the power of color to breathe new life into traditional designs. She has had over 100 of her patterns featured in magazines like American Patchwork & Quilting, Quiltmaker and McCall’s

David Owen Hastings had a 40-year career in graphic design work and since retiring he’s been able to focus exclusively on his work as a modern quilter, speaker and teacher.

 

He’s been knitting and sewing since he was a kid and feels there’s something magical in taking a piece of fabric or yarn and turning into something beautiful. He believes crafts like quilting can be an artistic expression and good for the soul. He also enjoys creating his own textiles through dyeing and painting.

 

David attends quilt festivals all over the country where he’s won prizes, and his work has appeared in quilting magazines. He thoroughly enjoys spreading the joy of modern quilting.
