Our next meeting will be Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at the Hometown Cafe in Sedro-Woolley!  Meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. - some people come early and have a bite to eat.

We'll start quilt show planning in earnest and starting in January we will meet twice a month.

Everyone is welcome to come and help!  We are the group that plans and executes the quilt show in Sedro-Woolley during the first weekend in June.  All local quilters are invited to enter quilts to show.  This is just for fun and to share the excitement of quilting with our friends, neighbors, and visitors.  We look forward to another great show with 200 or more quilts on display.  Come and make friends and catch the quilting fever!

WOOLLEY FIBER FOLLIES OCTOBER 20!

Woolley Fiber Follies!

Our first (annual?) skills-sharing day is scheduled for Saturday, October 20th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Wicker Road in Sedro-Woolley.

This is a preview of events!

Local quilters will conduct 45-minute demonstrations throughout the day on quilting, sewing, and stitching techniques that they are skilled in.  Like binding a quilt, applying mitered borders, hand-stitching for embellishment, and so much more!

These are local folks who want to share their expertise with you and to stir up interest in quilting!  After all, the Woolley Fiber Quilters 4th annual quilt show will be May 31-June 2, 2013 and you'll want to have your entries ready!

Cost for the Fiber Follies will be $5 for the day and we'll encourage preregistration when it gets closer to the time. 

And if YOU have a specialty skill that you would like to demostrate, contact us via this blog site and we'll get in touch! 

There are SO MANY quilters in this area who are talented and willing to share their skills with others.  You'll want to be on hand for the fun!
