It’s Not a Quilt Til It’s Quilted!
You’ve made a beautiful top, but how do you decide how to quilt it? Becky will share with you what she has learned (both the good and the bad!) from quilting her own quilts over the last 24 years.

Becky and Linda Jenkins started Piece O ’ Cake Designs in 1994. Piece O' Cake Designs is a company specializing in quilt books and patterns. They are especially known for their cute appliqué designs.
Making quilts is interesting, fulfilling, and challenging. Becky has made it a little less challenging by demonstrating some sewing techniques with video lessons on her website.

The Flying Geese Quilter's Guild general membership meetings, offer quilt related programs from an extraordinarily
talented membership and other locally recognized fiber artists, as well as
nationally and internationally recognized guest speakers. Our speakers are
quilters, quilt designers, clothing designers, doll makers, and textile
designers – in other words, experts who impact our love of quilting. Without
fail each month our guild members present a spectacular Show and Tell and a
hint of the quilt show we present every other year. Before the meeting and during break there is time to browse our extensive
lending library, socialize, and enter opportunity drawings for small wall hangings
and door prizes. Between meetings we offer a variety of activities, such as
workshops, philanthropy sewing days, and small friendship quilt group meetings.
The Flying Geese Quilter's Guild was founded in 1985 by a group of about 30 quilters. In the past 22 years the guild has grown to approximately 300 members. The quilt guild was organized to promote and educate its members and the public in the techniques and methods of creative quilting and fiber arts, to preserve the heritage of quilt making, and to promote quilt related activities. Regular meetings usually feature nationally known speakers. Members can also attend some speaker's workshops for a small fee. Other benefits of membership include opportunities to join a friendship groups, check books out from the Guild’s extensive library, and participate in quilt related philanthropic and community education projects. Other activities include a biennial quilt show, biennial quilt auction, and quilt retreats. |
