  October’s Presentation: Lone Robin Reveal

  
  

  You’ve strip pieced, curved and traveled down roads to finish your Lone Robin quilt. Now is the time to show us all the beautiful work you have created these last six months. October’s Meetup will feature a slide show of completed Lone Robin quilt tops. Your top does not need to be quilted—however you do need to make sure that each added element is somehow touching the element that came before. 

  To be eligible to win a fat quarter bundle in our drawing, You must email a photo of your completed Lone Robin, (and an optional photo with a close-up detail or the back if quilted,) to EBHQ.Meetup@gmail.com. by October 1st.

  MVP - All Star Virtual Sampler Platter - Two Sessions 

  Members only

  Welcome to EBHQ's new Mini Virtual Programs activity. Members enjoy this first offering free of charge.

  

  Saturday October 2, 2021 - 12:00-3:00 pm 

  and

  Sunday October 3, 2021 - 12:00-3:00 pm

  Experience some of the best teachers the virtual world has to offer in this live Youtube event presented by the Global Quilt Connection. An All-Star cast of 18 quilt teachers will demonstrate some of their favorite quilting techniques, showcasing a wide variety of styles and methods. You’ll see everything from traditional to modern and art quilting approaches.

  The Global Quilt Alliance has made a change for this online event. It will not be a Zoom webinar. The links you will receive on Friday, October 1 will take you directly to each private Youtube livestream during the hours listed above. Each day will showcase nine different instructors, so be sure to tune in both days if you can.

  As a bonus, each Sampler will be available for 24 hours after each live event ends. So, you are not locked into the times listed above, you can watch later at your leisure.

  You will also get a link to a pdf document that has details and supporting documentation about each teacher’s demonstration. 

  Register one time for both days. EBHQ members attend this first MVP event for free.

  To see all the list of the 18 artists check out the new MVP Details Page
  

  Enjoy

   Inspired By

  
  

  Have you ever looked at a photo and been so inspired by its colors, shapes,  mood, or perhaps a memory, that you felt the urge to capture that inspiration in a quilt? Each month we will email you a new inspiration.  
  

  EBHQ’s latest at-home sewing activity, "Inspired By," hopes to get your creative juices flowing. If our photo prompt inspires you, go for it! Your fabric creation can be any size. Design a postcard, a quilt block, a wall hanging, a table runner, a placemat, a lap quilt, a bed quilt. You decide. 

  To see the current and past inspirations and more details go here...

  We're hoping to entice adventurous EBHQ Quilters to join in the  2021 Round Robin groups. For inspiration, check out the 2020 Round Robin to view their finished quilt tops and commentary. December is the time to sign up, so we can get the 6-member groups organized for the January 24^th initial block exchange.
  

  
  

  Each participant choses a Traditional or Improvisational style and prepares a center block, which will be worked on by 5 other group members, with exchanges every 2 months. The final return to the "owner" will happen in November, in time for Show and Tell.

  
  

  Does this sound like fun?  Are you intrigued?  Click here for more details...

  
  

  To quote last year's leader: "Participants should be good at honoring deadlines and be prepared to do good quality work." That said, there are no judges and no beadles.
