  NOW is the time to sign up for the EBHQ 2022 Round Robin. If you are interested in participating in this fun and rewarding activity, click on the register button and then choose which group you want to be in: Traditional or Improv.

  For those new to Round Robins read the guidelines for the 2022 Round Robin here. Check out the 2021 EBHQ Round Robin gallery page for examples of last year's Traditional and Improv quilts.

  To start, each participant will provide a square or rectangular starting block which will be passed to the next quilter in your group. Your blocks will go through 5 rounds of additions before the final quilt is returned to you. Participants should be good at honoring deadlines and be prepared to do good quality work.

  Deadline for signing up is Sunday Jan. 23, and the first exchange will be on Sunday Feb. 6. An email with further information, including the exchange schedule and location, will be sent to all participants once everyone has signed up.

  Join EBHQ for a Color Wheel Study in January

  
  

    

  Blue-Violet is the new color to explore this month.  

  
  

  We are celebrating Pantone 'Very Peri' color for 2022 which is the first time they have released a new shade in its 22 year history.  The color is a combination of 'periwinkle blue and energizing violet'.  

  Join in at any time!

  This exercise may become the beginning of a series.  It can be as small as a postcard, 12" x 12", or just a block for a future quilt.   Of course, you can make more than one piece on any given month. 

  For more information go here.

  February's Presentation: Featuring a Focus Fabric

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Guild member Susan Lambert will present how she makes quilts from just one fabric that has a distinct or unusual image. This can be a repeated image of an animal, such as an elephant, or a repeated image of a person, such as African women in different poses.  The elephants and the women are the focus. The piecing and quilting complement and enhance the image, providing a great opportunity for improvisation.
  
  Following Susan's presentation, Guild member Susan Gordon will show us how she makes beautiful quilts in a small space in her home during this month's Virtual Open Studio.

  
  

  More details about our presentations here.
  
  Valentine Exchange: We are doing something special in February. Our postcard exchange will be a valentine exchange of any medium. To take part, register by February 10th and mark "Yes" to the postcard exchange question when you register. Sound like fun? Read more about it here.

  
  

  Virtual Open Studio: Curious how other quilters use their creative space? Want to discover organizational ideas and tips? Please show us your studio at an upcoming Meetup. Participating is a great motivation to organize and clean your space!

  Valerie, Claire, & Fredda

  Join EBHQ for a Color Wheel Study 

    
  

  
  

  Each month a new color will be selected to explore.  You might want to study the monthly color using one of the harmonious color schemes like monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split complementary, triad, or tetrad.  You are welcome to do just one-color scheme or even all of them.

  
  

  Join in at any time!  This exercise may become the beginning of a series.  It can be as small as a postcard, 12" x 12", or just a block for a future quilt.   Of course, you can make more than one piece on any given month.  For more information go here.
