The Quilter's Guild of Dallas, founded by Helena Hibbs in 1979, was organized to preserve the heritage of quilting, be a source of information and inspiration, and in general perpetuate a high quality of excellence in quilting. As the guild prepares to stitch its way into the next millennium, it boasts numerous friendship groups, an extensive library, a well-respected annual quilt show, workshops, and regular meetings featuring nationally known speakers.

July 2nd Program:

Make It, But Don’t Take It!

This month we will be having a Covers for Kids Workshop Night! We would like this to be a real “workshop” night. Please bring your sewing machine, extension cord and miscellaneous sewing tools. We will provide you with all of the things to sew. If you would rather wander around, and observe, that is ok, too…. We may just put you to work ironing, or cutting.
There will be 5 stations, each showing a different technique, and flyers on simple block designs to use for making quilts for our Covers for Kids Program. Each station will offer one of a variety of techniques, including string piecing, paper piecing, super simple bowties, and more! These quick techniques can be adapted for your own use, as well. Please plan to come and spend a couple of hours helping us make quilts for needy children. We promise, it will make you feel good to help others!

Coming in August...

Our guest speaker on August 6th will be Austin-based writer, Spike Gillespie. Ms. Gillespie was a columnist for the Dallas Morning News several years ago, and since developing an interest in quilts and the people who make them, has published one book entitled Quilty as Charged, and will soon be publishing a second quilt-themed book. Visit Ms. Gillespie’s blog at http://spikegillespie.blogspot.com/ for a glimpse of her perspective on life.
Workshop spaces are filling fast for our fall speakers. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the fun! Remember that if you register 30 or more days prior to the workshop, you’ll save $5.00!
