  Final Chunk of the Month - #6

  
  

                         
  

  

  
  

  This  mystery quilt activity was designed by Julia McLeod, who brought us our two Lone Robin activities. Each month Julia provided a new Chunk pattern.  This activity's final chunk was presented at the August Quilters Gather. You now have all the information you need to create a 48" square quilt.

  
  

  All instructions to complete your quilt and information on how to share a photo of your finished piece is available on the Chunk of the Month webpage. 

  
  

  Intrigued?  You do not have to register for this activity...there's still time to join in.

  September's Presentation

  
  

  WWQ: World Wide Quilter - Susan Fuller

  For the last couple of decades, long time EBHQ member Susan Fuller has traveled to many countries, often taking the off-the-beaten-tourist-path. She has enjoyed photographing people, especially while they were working. Susan will show her travel quilts with stories about the subjects. She will tell us how she came to take the photographs and make the quilts.

  Virtual Open Studio: Quilters Gather team member Vanina Doce-Mood will show us how she has transformed a corner of a room in her house into her sewing space as well as the custom made cutting table she uses in the backyard

  
  

  Chunk of the Month - A Mystery Quilt for 2022

  All the elements have been demonstrated. We’re taking this month off to give you time to finish your quilts.

  Send photos to EBHQuilters.Gather@gmail.com.  More info about this activity here.

  Postcard Exchange: Be sure to check "YES" for the Postcard Exchange option when you register to join this fun activity.

  
  

  Show and Tell: Please share your current projects with us. Email photos to ebhquilters.gather@gmail.com at least 3 days before the next session, and we will include them in the slide show presentation. We want to see what you’re up to!  Same goes for the postcard exchange - any you have sent or received.

  
  

  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 Quilters Gather. Participating is a great motivation to organize and clean your space!

  David Owen Hastings - Mini Min-Mod Quilts

  
  

            
  

                            

  Sign-up starts: Members now and Non-Members 08/30/22
  

  These charming little quilts are inspired by Mid-Century Modern design,
  and are a great skill-building project to learn a number of quilting techniques.

  We will start with a simple, modern color palette of neutral fabrics with a flash of color.  Clean lines combined with simple design give each tiny composition a sophisticated feeling.  Since we are working very small, this is a great project for using small scraps and bits of special fabric.

  Participants will learn the quilt-as-you-go method. Hand stitching adds a sleek, linear element. Finishing techniques will be demonstrated.

  Sign-up starts: Members 8/24 and Non-Members 9/20
  

  The Watercolor Quilt is a wall hanging made from one large block that uses curved piecing to create the illusion of transparency from overlapping circles. The class will cover my process for building a fabric gradation and tips and tricks for stress-free curved piecing. Take the guesswork out of color selection by using one of the published color gradations inside the pattern! The Watercolor Quilt finishes at 32 x 32 inches.

  Pattern is available at Audrey's website.
