April General Meeting - Kristin Echols of Kristin Laura Designs presents “A Lesson in Every Quilt”.

Date: April 8, 2025

Location: Boca Raton Community Center

150 Crawford Blvd, Boca Raton

or via Zoom

Time: 10:00 AM—12:00 PM

Guest Fee: $10.00 (non-refundable)

I teach quilting and am known for my “reversible” or “quilt-as-you-go” classes. Many quilters enjoy piecing blocks and quilt tops but aren’t sure how to finish their quilts. It can be expensive to send out every quilt for professional long-arm quilting, and many quilters are daunted by trying to quilt a whole quilt on their home machines.

I teach students how to quilt one block, row, or section at a time and then join the sections with sashing strips. This is a technique that can be applied to many patterns, and in each class we look at a variety of quilts and patterns. Students leave class with a new skill that they can apply to their other quilting projects.

I will show over 40 of my quilts and describe the lessons learned in making each of them. Over half the quilts were made using the Quilt-As-You-Go method, but I also show other quilts and techniques I’ve tried over the years. I will also show the ugliest quilt I’ve ever made and tell you about the lessons I learned!

May General Meeting: Carla Klop presents “Power Play”

Program: Carla Klop presents “Power Play”

Date: May 13, 2025

For almost 30 years Carla made all her quilts by hand and only discovered the rotary cutter in 2005! Recognizing how much faster making quilts would become, her ideas just went wild. There wasn’t enough time to complete all these quilts without finding ways to go faster. So this resulted in Shortcut Sheets – an accident discovered by breaking the rules. In this presentation, Carla shares the path it took to go from Quilter to Designer. She has many quilts to show, all created over the past few years. All 8 methods have been published in a binder format along with practice patterns for each technique, quilt patterns, tips and worksheets. Panel Play is an 82 page book showing how to punch up a panel using blocks made the Shortcut Sheet way - a double quilting experience. Five of her designs were published in AQ Magazine. Carla also works with Northcott designing many patterns using their fabrics.
