How many of you have wished to quilt your own quilts, or quilt them better and more easily than ever before?
January's 2026's Zoom workshop with RaNae Merrill could be the answer! RaNae has taught many hundreds of quilters how to free-motion quilt with great confidence using her personal technique that utilizes muscle memory. One way to understand how muscle memory works is to think of riding a bicycle. If you know how to ride a bike, but don't happen to use one for 20 years, could you then sit on one, and ride away? Your muscles remember how! The point is that you train your body to use repetitive quilting movements that become comfortable and can be repeated with ease. For more information on Renee's method, please click on the link below. We saw only half of this video during the meeting, but if you'd like to learn a bit more, please click the blue link: https://youtu.be/-AFKD1Y-FSo?si=PzEz4BZNvsVwpYLf |

January's General Meeting January 14th.
ReNae will be providing a lecture, "Move into Free Motion Quilting with Six Basic Shapes,"
The Zoom workshop will be held a few days later in the comfort of one's home in two 3-hour sessions, on Saturday January 17th and Sunday, January 18th from 3:00-6:00 PM on both days. RaNae will also tape her workshop and registered students will have access to the lessons for 30 days after the workshop.
The workshop fee is $44.00.
RaNae Merrill also has written a companion book, Free Motion Mastery in a Month, available on Amazon or on her website, RaNae Merrill Quilt Design which is highly recommended. The book and the tools to learn her special technique are available on her own website, but while they are recommended, they are all completely optional!!
To register please refer to the email that Cheryl sent our on November 12, 2025.

The August Program with four separate, half-day workshops on Fiber Arts (not quilting) was very well received. The workshops on making a rope bowl, wetfelting a scarf, making a zippered bag, and demonstrations of weaving were all presented by four guild members sharing their knowledge.
