"Using Your Imagination With Fabric"

This lecture will focus on Using Your Imagination With Fabric. After this lecture, be prepared to look at fabric from a new perspective. From getting out of your fabric "box" to learning about broderie perse. You will find that the possibilities of what you can dowith fabric are only limited by your own imagination.

Have you noticed the many UFO’s landing at our Guild meetings?  They have been coming in from all directions!  We’re half way through the Challenge, and so far, the 36 members participating have completed 73 UFO’s!!!  GOOD JOB!!!  A few members are already very close to completing their 6 projects required to be eligible for prizes.  And, quite a few more are well on their way.  The work that has been completed is amazing!

Summertime has many distractions with vacations, out-of-town guests, etc. (or those new, tempting projects) that can distract us from our sewing time or tackling UFO’s.  But, there are six months left until the deadline of our January 2026 meeting, so you still have plenty of time to finish those UFO’s!  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Remember to bring your completed projects to the Guild meeting and look for the flying UFO at one of the back tables to be sure your sheet is updated.  If your UFO has been given to some lucky person, community quilts or if it’s just easier for you, showing a picture will work just as well.  We just want to be sure you get credit for finished projects.  For those of you who may not be able to attend and have finished one of your UFO's, please text your picture (including your name and the project name) to either 832-928-3315 or 936-499-7482 or e-mail them to lhharris1972@gmail.com or Pablo90512@aol.com. We’ll be sure you get noted.
