Free - Lone Robin - Progressive Quilt Challenge

(Each month a new element will be emailed to all participants on the dates to your left.)



Julia McLeod of Silk & Salvage has invented a new quilting game she calls the Lone Robin! It’s part progressive quilt, part mystery quilt, and will be a whole lot of fun when we compare quilts at the end of it!

Participants will do this for six months: Each month we’ll complete a stage of our quilt, following that month’s instructions from Julia. You will get new instructions monthly starting in June through November and catch up in December.

We will reveal our finished tops in January, date to be announced. As added incentive, every quilter who shows their finished quilt top in January will be entered in a raffle, which offers a chance to win one of four $25 gift certificates from one of our Member Affiliates.

See the Lone Robin web page for this month's element.

Remember when we used to meet in person at the Albany church twice a month for quilting, socializing, and lunching?

"Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end.” Unfortunately, those days are now temporarily on hold.

However, since we’ve become Zoomer quilters, there’s been interest in arranging virtual get-togethers to fill the void and keep us connected. Bring your coffee or tea, your hand sewing, stories to share. Let’s meet virtually and see how it goes!

If you want to sign up, but it’s already full, or you can’t do it on that day, or you might want to do it in the future, please join the waiting list.

The door to the Quilters Clubhouse is now open!

Whether you are quilting a lot or a little these days, there's a place for you at the Meet-Up! Lone Robins, postcard exchangers, show and tellers, interested bystanders, and anyone else is welcome to join us for the November Meet-up.



Janet McDonald binds quilts for New Pieces customers and also teaches "Basic Binding Plus" there, when in-person classes are allowed. In the meantime, join Janet virtually for a detailed look at how she binds quilts in six "easy" steps as well as some of the simple tools she uses.

Following Janet's demonstration, we will have show and tell.  This can include Lone Robin items, postcards from the exchange, or any other items you want to share. Show and tell items can be something completed recently, still in progress, or something that has inspired you.  Postcard exchangers, please show the card you received and let us know what the experience was like.

Did you miss out on the postcard exchange? No worries! You can join now. To join in the post card fun, register by November 12th and say Yes to the exchange when you register. Nancy will randomly pair participants and send the details to each person.  Within two weeks of receiving your partner's information, you'll put a homemade fabric postcard in the mail to that person. Soon you will be receiving one from your partner!  If you haven't made a fabric postcard before you can find some examples and a tutorial on Susan Dague's webpage.

To show an item during the Meet-up, you can either send your photos to Nancy at EBHQ.Meet.Up@gmail.com by November 10^th at 7 pm and she will show it for you, or you can hold your item up to the camera during the meeting.

For more information see the Meet-Up details page.

"Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end.” Unfortunately, those days are now temporarily on hold.

However, since we’ve become Zoomer quilters, there’s been interest in arranging virtual morning get-togethers to fill the void and keep us connected. Bring your coffee or tea, your hand sewing, stories to share. Let’s meet virtually and see how it goes!

Virtual Show & Tell - Locked Down and Breaking Out

I'm guessing no one in the guild (or anywhere else) has ever experienced anything like the sweep of the pandemic. We could have curled up in a tiny ball and cried - and maybe some of us did - but then we all got going. Our guild sewed over 3,200 face masks for health care and emergency services providers. We've not slowed down at all on the Deanna Davis Community Quilt Project. We've supported our local quilting stores as they went entirely online. I'm guessing that many of us looked on our quilting as a lifeline, something to keep us grounded during these unprecedented times. Well, let's see 'em, guys and gals. It's time to share projects you've completed since November 2019. Big or small...pandemic-inspired or pure escapism...let's join to celebrate the unquenchable creative process we all love so much.

Sincerely,

Jean Smith

Your Show & Tell Hostess

Members only: We need more items to show. You may enter two items during the Show & Tell. Complete your entry form and send your photo(s) to EBHQ.Web.Supp@gmail.com by November 18^th.

Jean will narrate the show and read your description of your entry.
