Maker's Medley Fast Track

6 Experts. 6 Techniques. Sharing and Learning!

Put on your walking shoes!

The Maker’s Medley Fast Track program will feature five of our talented members (Jeani McGrath, Barbara Boatman, Laura Jones, Barbara Dexter-Smith, & Jan Mott) showcasing various quilting-related techniques.

Below is the workout format:

1. You will be assigned to one of five groups by the Social Butterflies at check-in.
2. Proceed to your number-assigned table where you will remain for the business meeting. There will be seating for all.
3. After the business meeting is concluded, remain in your seat for instructions.
4. At the starting signal, there will be a 10-minute overview of the technique featured at the table. Hand-outs will be provided.
5. Upon the next signal, each group will move to the next table in the rotation, (i.e. 1 →2;
2 →3; 3 → 4; 4 →5; 5 → 1).
6. Repeat Step 5 until the circuit has been completed.

EVERYONE IS A WINNER!

The official social butterflies, i.e. Social Committee chairpersons, great all attendees as they arrive. All are invited to attend lunch after the meeting. Reservations for lunch, at a local restaurant, may be made at the meeting. Those attending are responsible for purchasing their own lunch.

Meet Audra Rasnake - Award-Winning Hand Quilt-Maker

Audra Rasnake is a fourth-generation quilter and grew up literally under a quilt frame. She's been hand quilting for more than 30 years and has been doing needle turn applique for 20 years. She considers herself a traditional quilter and has a passion for sharing needle turn applique and hand quilting, as she wants this incredible art form to have a revival.

Audra has won multiple AQS ribbons for her hand quilting. One of her greatest passions is folded cutwork. She uses applique in every quilt she makes. Audra enjoys helping beginners overcome their fear of the dreaded "A" word.

There will be an afternoon workshop after the meeting from 1:00 to 4:00.

All members, guests, and curious quilters are invited to attend guild meetings. The business meetings starts promptly at 10:00 am. For a special treat arrive 30 minutes early to shop the "rehome" table for quilting treasures!
