The Education Committee is excited to present a program that we have entitled, The Cutting Edge: What’s Hot for 2008. A fantastic lineup of shops will participate in this program, each one offering ongoing 15 minute demonstrations of a great new quilting tool or technique. These tools and related items will be available for purchase. We have made sure that both traditional and contemporary quilters’ interests are represented and hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to learn something new.
Shops and Demonstration Topics include:
The Country Quilter - NSQG member Mary Gay Leahy will show us how to use the new Circle Magic Tool.
The City Quilter - NSQG member, Cathy Izzo, will demo a great, new yo-yo template.
Batik Timbal - Trish Hodge will demonstrate a simple batik project using paint which will appeal to both traditional and contemporary quilters.
