Invitation from the Victoria Quilt Guild:
Kathy Wylie – Sep 26th - Window Boxes: Inset Thread Lace
Location: Cordova Bay 55+, 5238 Cordova Bay Rd. Victoria
Time 9:15 – 4
Cost: $75.00
Enhance your quilts with the exquisite detail of inset thread lace. In this class, you'll master the technique of creating a simple hand-embroidered thread lace grid and learn how to insert it between the turned-edge holes of a quilt project. You'll start by making a three-inch practice window box using the provided kit fabric and embroidery floss (Kit - $20). Then, you'll move on to a five-block project using your own fabric and floss. Three optional Window Box patterns are available for purchase.
Anyone interested can email Carol Stewart (bruceastewart@shaw.ca) and she can add them to the workshop.
Our History:
Nanoose Quilters began in 2010 when seven keen women took a leap of faith that there would be enough quilters in Nanoose Bay to form a group: the initial 26 members has since grown to 50. We are all enthusiastic quilters who range from beginners to advanced. Our love of fabric and quilting is shared in a supportive community. Quilting journeys are shared with each other, creating friendships along the way. We meet once a month in Nanoose Bay where we have demos, projects, and sew days. Members always bring projects to show, and new notions and patterns are discussed. The charity arm of the group works on providing comfort and warmth through donating quilted items. We are an amazing and fun-loving group who support, encourage and inspire each other in our creativity and love of quilting.
