Description
Quilting by the Bay welcomes you to a special week of convivial sewing. Set up your machine in a comfortably large air-conditioned room. Bring your unfinished work and get input as you need it. Or start a new project and enjoy plenty of time and space to work. Many quilters return year after year for this quilting extravaganza – and each year we welcome several newcomers to our Opening Circle with enthusiasm for their participation and their individual projects. You will have a table of your own to spread out your work, nearby irons and boards, a design wall if you need it, and access to a cutting table for managing larger pieces of yardage. If distractions of beautiful fabric make you want to leave your machine and go shopping, we are usually interested in those expeditions, too. And don’t forget the friendships and conviviality of like-minded sewists doing what they love the most.
In 2022, we hope to offer you a chance to be a “bag lady” and make two different styles of bags, under the skillful instruction of conferee volunteer teachers. Watch this space as plans develop!!! We will have a Show and Tell night (bring completed quilts and projects you’ve done) and a “Skills and Tools Night” (brief introductions to new techniques and supplies). Your workspace is available 24/7; our conference hours are 9-12 am and 7-9 pm with afternoons free to enjoy the ocean.
All conferees need competence with their machines and to have completed a beginner course before enrolling. (Finishing work—layering, basting, machine quilting—will be available if space allows toward the end of the week.) A detailed supply list will be sent to all registrants in early July.
