April Program
 Trish
Stuart's A Quilters’ Journey is on April 18th at 7:00 pm. Trish
speaks with humor of her meandering path to the present and where she is
headed, providing motivation for your own journey.
Trish has been quilting, writing patterns, teaching both nationally
and internationally for over 20 years. The range of styles and
techniques she offers is very wide, including but not limited to
traditional piecing, appliqué, stained glass quilts, wool, and art
quilts.
A frequent guest on network station quilt programs, she has also
been featured in national quilting magazines.
Trish has published over 10 books as well as over 50 package
patterns, created the Quarterly Clubs and is currently delving into
creating contemporary wool projects.

art and friendship of quilting.
Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month at the

TAQG Rally Day, Saturday, July 13, 2013!
 Make
plans to learn from this year’s speaker, Sue Reich. She will be
conducting two workshops, Thursday, July 11, WWII, and Friday, July 12,
Pennsylvania Applique. The cost for each workshop is $40. Registration
forms are now
available.
Each member guild is asked to donate at least 2 mini quilts or other
well-made fiber crafted items for the auction. Quilts should measure no
more than 24" x 24". The label should have the quilt maker's name,
address, and guild affiliation either pinned or sewn to the back of the
quilt. Please give your mini quilt or fiber item to Alice P. no later
than the May AQG meeting.
Beautiful red, white and blue Rally Day 2013 pins are also available
for $5.00 each.
Help AQG do it's part for Rally Day! Meet at Ellen S's house at 10:00 on
Saturday, April 20 to cut and fold fat quarters. Each of the 38 member
guilds are contributing to the Rally Day goodie bags. Our goal is 500
fat, so just think how many new fabrics you will receive when you get
your goodie bag on Rally Day!
Thanks for helping AQG meet its goal. |
The Community Service Work Night in March was a huge success. The
great support of our members helped complete over 40 catheter bags
to donate. They will be donated to the V.A. Hospital in Bonham later
in the month.
NOTE: Please bring any project you may have
taken home to complete to the April meeting. We do not want to lose
track of these items.
Don’t feel like sewing but would like to help?
Donate hair-care products to the April meeting for
Hope’s Door. The
organization is requesting shampoo, conditioner, combs, brushes,
etc.
Sewing instructions for all of the community service projects are
can be downloaded from the AQG Yahoo Group under Files > Community
Service.
For more information on these ongoing projects, contact Ellen S.
