Meetings & Programs

Meetings are held the 2nd Saturday of the month at the Lakeport Senior Center with the exception of October when we feature our annual quilt show.
The central focus of monthly guild meetings are programs which may include an educational guest speaker, trunk show, technique demonstrations, slides, or movies. Just a few of the other activities during the general meeting are Show and Tell, Treasure Chest raffle and a pot luck buffet. There is no cost to attend. Members leave inspired and eager to pursue their quilting passion. Visitors are welcome for 2 meetings at no cost. General Meeting and Program

Magic Fabrics / Special Effects Put simply, magic fabrics give a quilt light and life. Some suggest light coming from below the surface (luminosity) or bouncing across the surface (luster). Others imply that see-through colors overlap to create new color mixtures (transparency). What constitutes a magic fabric? I describe many as “shot with light.” They usually display variations in value—light areas among darker areas, or light-to-dark gradations—and they typically contain warm colors. Batiks, hand-dyes, and hand-painted fabrics have a dappled quality; some commercial fabrics appear to “smolder,” an illusion that lends depth and warmth to even the simplest quilts.
