Lecture: Entrepreneurs of the Guild

Speaker

This month our spotlight turns to the Entrepreneurs of the Guild—with a special focus on one of our own, Linda Nitzen.

We are delighted to welcome Linda as our March guest speaker. Many of our members have taken their passion for quilting beyond the hobby stage and into the world of business, and Linda’s story is a wonderful example of that entrepreneurial spirit. Linda is a past president of FGQG and the owner of Sewing 101.

Linda will take us through her professional journey in the quilting industry, sharing how she grew from a devoted maker into an international instructor, YouTube creator, quilt teacher, and successful business owner. Through her company, Sewing 101, she offers beautiful Tilda fabrics along with exclusive kits and patterns. During her presentation, Linda will talk about the challenges and joys of building a quilting-based business, what inspires her creatively, and how she continues to innovate. She’ll also share a trunk show of her “quilts through the years,” giving us a behind-the-scenes look at her artistic evolution.

Join us for an evening of inspiration as we celebrate creativity, resourcefulness, and entrepreneurship within our guild—starting with Linda’s story!
Invite a friend to this presentation. Guests are welcome. There is no guest fee this month.

The Flying Geese Quilt Guild brings together a vibrant community of quilters through monthly meetings and a variety of activities. These gatherings feature quilt-related programs presented by talented members, locally recognized fiber artists, and nationally and internationally acclaimed speakers; including quilters, designers, and textile artists.
Every month, our guild members delight us with a spectacular Show and Tell, offering a glimpse into the creativity within our community and a preview of the stunning quilts featured in our biennial quilt show. Before the meeting and during breaks, members can socialize, sign up for workshops, and enter opportunity drawings for small wall hangings and door prizes.
Between meetings, the guild offers a variety of activities, including hands-on workshops, philanthropy sewing days, and small friendship quilt group gatherings.
Founded in 1985 by 30 dedicated quilters, the quilt guild has grown to approximately 200 members in 40 years. Our mission is to promote and educate members and the public in creative quilting and fiber arts, preserve the heritage of quilt making, and encourage quilt-related activities.
Guild membership offers access to workshops led by expert speakers, friendship groups, philanthropy sewing days, and community education projects. Members also enjoy special events such as our biennial quilt show, quilt auction, and retreats.
