Our meetings have moved virtual! We can still share our love of quilting by gathering together. If you are interested in attending, please contact our chairperson, Nicole at andernj@gmail.com.
November 10 - 7Pm Our speaker will be Cindy Thury Smith. From the time when quilters spent weeks cutting out fabric with scissors and only hand-quilted quilts were accepted in shows, Cindy Thury Smith has been making quilts. She’s picked up a few things over the decades and she’s sharing these in her upcoming lecture: Tips, Tricks, Techniques and Tales from Fifty Years of Quiltmaking coming to you via ZOOM.
December 8th -7PM Since we cannot have our holiday party in person, we will be enjoying one or our own - Robyn Phelps. Robyn started quilting approximately eight years ago largely in part due to being invited to one of the Dakota County Star Quilters retreats. She was invited but was not a quilter so decided to take a beginning quilting class prior to the retreat. She really didn’t care for it but saw samples of applique quilting and has been doing hand appliqué since. Robyn will show her first quilt to most recently completed and a few works in progress. She has enjoyed the journey and is forever grateful to Dakota Star Quilters for introducing her to applique and the art of collecting fabric! She has one best of show, best in traditional appliqué, honorable mention and most recently short listed in Festival of Quilts in London.
January 21 - DIFFERENT DAY THIS MONTH - 7PM - Carole Lyles Shaw will present "My Journey to Modern Quilting" Carole 's lecture will include a trunk show and she will tell her story.
