What Makes a Great Quilt Club?


 

What Makes A Great Quilt Club?

Belonging to a quilt group or club is important to most quilters.  Clubs vary in so many ways – but to be successful they will need to have something in common…participation!  How do you get the membership to participate and get those creative juices flowing?  How do you ‘stretch’ your abilities and try something new?

 

Annemarie will speak about the exceptional success of the quilting clubs she has been involved in.  This lecture will be interactive involving the audience.  Yes, that means participation! There will be an added treat; a display of small quilts from Annemarie’s personal collection including the stories of what makes them special.  Pictured is Rick-Rack Spools - pattern available.
