General Meeting Guest Speaker: Cindy Needham More than you ever wanted and needed to know about threads. That is what the May program will bring us. On Thursday, May 29, Cindy Needham, a Superior Threads national educator, and designer of quilting patterns, will present a lecture "Thread Fact and Fiction". This talk will help you understand using decorative threads, identifying and solving thread issues and learning about needles and tension issues. Cindy also works with vintage linens, creating whole cloth quilts from them. She is the author of "Wholecloth Linen Quilts" published last year by AQS. Following the lecture on Thursday afternoon, Cindy will teach a 3 hour Open Thread Bar. This will be the same basic class as the all day Friday class, just with less class time to actually try out the information presented. The Thursday afternoon class will be 1 to 4 and the fee is $20 plus the $10 kit fee. |

Class - "Open Thread Bar" - Cindy Needham On Friday May 30th, from 9:30 to 3:30, Cindy will again offer the Open Thread Bar. This class will be $35 plus the $10 kit fee. In the class you will learn about thread weight, tensions, needles, and working with decorative threads. Then you will explore the various types of threads on your own machine by using the Superior threads provided with the class for your use. Cindy will provide a panel to work on and keep for home reference. Cindy will not be selling threads, just helping us learn to use them. |
