Meeting Pics

March 2020  -- Community Service Night

Children's Hospital has asked us to make Santa Sacks for the children hospitalized over Christmas. Kathi Exler
, a representative from Children's Hospital, came to the meeting and shared some of what happens at Children’s Hospital with sacks.  During the evening, we prepared kits for 200 bags.  And, all the kits were claimed by NPQG members.  Thanks to everyone who helped make up the kits and those who are now stitching them up at home.
 

February 2020


Kim Kelley and Sarah Nowlen from the Allegheny Health Network gave us some great tips and exercises to make our quilting pain and injury free.

 


January 2020


Game Night!

We named our teams, created personalized quilting license plates, challenged our brains with word games and pasted up a paper quilt.



December 2019


It was a night of earning new techniques. A round robin was presented by 7 of our members.

November 2019

Stacey and Kelly organized a Surprise Project for us. 
It was a quick no-sweat item that can be easily completed for the holidays. We used the strip insertion technique and got a pattern that can be adapted to many other themes and used again.  It was a great opportunity to socialize while we worked through the pattern.

Pepper Cory - How To Become a More Creative Quilter

Pepper gave us 10 rules for increasing our creativity, starting with having an open mind. She had us laughing as she debunked the myths surrounding quilting creativity.
  She had useful advice  on developing the ability to learn or change old habits of designing and presented an unconventional look at organizing that stash (not to be confused with a drug dealer's "stash").

September 2019


Augusta Cole - A Stroll Through My Quilt Garden

With her lovely Southern accent, Augusta took us on a tour of her quilts - many personally hand quilted.  Her motto is "Variety is the Spice of Life" and the variety of ways she used half-square triangles showed it.



May 2019

Pat Pauly - Challenge Yourself

Pat, an expert in contemporary fiber arts, showed many of her gorgeous quilts, modern, bold and graphic! She encouraged us to know when to apply the rules and when to toss them out.


April 2019


Penni Domikis  --Quilting Threads

Penni from Cabin in the Woods Quilters talked about the foibles of quilting and showed  her MANY scrap-based quilts.

The Challenge Quilts were shown during Fat Quarter.  They will be part of our quilt show next April - so you still have time to make one.
