Our Outreach group meets the last Friday of most months to sew pillowcases and baby quilts for the many children in need around the Bay Area.
We will pin baste quilts and process pillowcases. If you plan to sew, please bring your machine and general sewing supplies. Kits are available for quilt tops and pillowcases.
Have you wondered what criteria a professional quilt judge uses when evaluating a quilt? Kitty will present how she when from a quilt maker to a quilt judge, and what makes for an award-winning quilt.
Kitty has been a quilter for over 25 years, and won numerous honors and ribbons. She treats her own patterns and designs and has a deep appreciation for the creative process. In addition to teaching quilting techniques and giving lectures, she created the California Sesquicentennial Children's Quilt Program. The program brought information on quilting and California history to thousands of school children.
