Monthly Meetings 

As we try to accommodate all our members needs and a changing economy, we will be having quarterly meetings in person in 2023, the rest of our meetings will be held online via Zoom. 

Guest Speakers

Each of our meetings features a special program. We bring in well-known quilters and textile artists from across the world to share their techniques and inspiration with us. This is a great way to get new, exciting ideas for revitalizing your quilt projects.


Our 2023 schedule of speakers can be found here!

    During her presentation, Candace shares how she got the idea to make each quilt; along with the strategies I use throughout my process to stay organized, get things finished, and have fun while doing it.  She shares why she made the design decisions that she made. She hopes to help you see the world around you with fresh eyes, and get inspired by so much more than just other quilts.

    She loves hearing from those who have seen my program; that she inspires them and made them feel like they could do it!

    "Candace says she doesn’t do difficult, and yet somehow her simple quilts look complex, putting a twist on traditional blocks.” Ricky and Alex, from The Quilt Show

    Candace’s workshop for November is A Maze Zing. This quilt started out as a variation on a jelly roll race. It will give participants practice on measuring and attaching borders. You can use it to make a very contemporary quilt quickly, but also works well with traditional fabrics for a classic look.

    Come and join us for what is sure to be a relaxing and inspiring workshop.

    • Session: November 21, 2023, 9:30 am to 3:30 pm
    • Fee: $50 (members) (must  be a member both at sign-up time and day of workshop), $70 (non-members) 
    • Location: Zoom online platform
    • Supply list here
