  "Quilting Adventures Near and Far"

  MAY GUILD MEETING

  Thursday, May 14

  Do you love to travel as much as you love to quilt?

  When you glance through a Quilters Travel Website and see titles like “Italian Fabrics and Flavors” or Canyonland Quilts”, do your creative juices start moving? Anytime I see something related to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show…or …take a Quilt Vacation…my home heart starts to beat a little slower as I begin to dream.

  Well, summon your quilting spirit and come hear about quilting journeys near and far. We’ll explore international quilting tours as well as here in the States. And we may even get a peek at potential trip to our Colorado Shop Hops or an 8 hour trip to the International Quilt Museum in Nebraska or a virtual trip through Quilt Folks.

  We’ll have representatives of a Quilt Travel Company or two join us. And ACQ member, Valerie Mishek, will share about her 14 day Quilt Cruise to Hawaii.

  So…get your passport renewed and get ready…for a Quilting Adventure.

  with Kimberly Einmo

Being a military wife with more than 20 household moves under her belt, Kimberly has set up sewing studios in each of her homes and is excited to share what she's learned for making the most of the space you've got. She'll share photos of her sewing rooms, her favorite (and not-so-favorite) features of what works and what doesn't, and her best tips for setting up a creative haven to suit your personal needs. Then, sit back and enjoy a personal tour of today's top quilting stars' studios - both clean and cluttered - as they open the doors to their spaces and share their favorite features and tips you can easily implement. This fun, informative, and inspiring 'parade-of-homes-style' visit will provide a wealth of ideas and tips for transforming your own space into a place where you can be your most creative!
