Mark your calendars now! We’re meeting at Quilts Plus again to cut donated fabric and assemble charity quilt kits.

Saturday, June 30
10:30 AM – 3:00 PM

Bring a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat. No need to bring a sewing machine – the Quilts Plus classroom is just big enough for us to cut fabric and assemble kits.

Come for part of the time or stay all day.

Bring a lunch or visit one of the neighborhood restaurants within easy walking or driving distance.

We had a great time at our first Quilt Plus event on National Quilting Day. Join us for another great time! See you there!

Second 2012 Past President Challenge from Catherine Carvey

Celebration Table Runner

The challenge is to create a table runner:

+     It should be longer than it is wide

+     It should represent a celebration; it could be as simple as pieced flowers representing a Celebration of Spring

+     It must have embellishment. (The embellishment doesn’t have to be complicated).

Bring your finished table runner to any guild meeting in June for judging.

The Quilters Guild of Indianapolis, Inc. is a non-profit organization open to anyone interested in quilts or quilting. We offer a wide variety of guild activities throughout the year, including workshops with nationally recognized speakers, charity projects, smaller “quilting bee” groups, a retreat, and our bi-annual quilt show.

Meetings are held monthly in three different locations and at three different times, giving members and guests an opportunity to attend any one, or all three.  Our yearly dues are only $25.

The evening meeting is our General Meeting and large group gathering, where we feature programs by nationally known quilters. Two daytime meetings are held for smaller groups, one on the north side of Indianapolis (QGI North), and one on the south side (Out to Lunch Bunch). Each has its’ own speakers and programs.
