Demo for Miami Valley Quilter’s Guild

Last night, my quilt guild, the Miami Valley Quilter’s Guild, had their annual “How-To” Demonstrations meeting. Four members demonstrated various techniques or skills. I volunteered to demo how to make a hanging sleeve. Our guild has its biannual quilt guild show next May, so I encouraged everyone to enter a quilt. We have a really good group of ladies. I made 80 copies of my instructions, and we ran several short.

If you need instructions on how to make a hanging sleeve, you can see my online tutorial. Or, if you prefer, you can print out a set of written instructions on making a sleeve in PDF format.

I really appreciate the ladies in my guild. They are always so encouraging. At the end of the meeting we have show-and-tell, and I brought Push-up #3: Requisite Red and Push-up #4: Reaching.

I confided in one lady that I always get sick to my stomach when I have have to stand up and speak in front of a group. Silly, I know. She was so sweet that she offered to walk up with me. But I like that no matter what you bring, there will be loads of people who are interested and will ask questions and say nice things. It’s a small thing, but I think every quilter should be involved in a group like that.
