Mountain Laurel Quilters' Guild

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

Sylvia Schaefer will be giving our program and also our workshop this month. The program title is What is Modern Quilting/Quilt Show. Sylvia has been quilting since 2007. Her background in science often inspires her quilt designs, both directly and indirectly. Her quilts and patterns have been published in magazines both online and in print. Sylvia’s work has been exhibited and has won awards regionally and nationally. In 2017, she was awarded the second annual Craftsy Quilt Designer Fellowship, allowing her to start her own line of printed patterns sold in quilt shops around the world. She has also appeared on camera in Fresh Quilting and Patchwork Nation. Her books, The Quilter's Negative Space Handbook and Modern Scrap Quilts, are guides to designing modern quilts from traditional blocks.

Michael DeGrave will be at the April meeting for sewing machine cleaning and repairs. For an appointment, please contact Beth Fannin (352) 816-3074 at least one week prior to our guild meeting, which will be April 14th.

Ask An Expert? - If you have any quilting related questions please send them to Beth Fannin at ewfannin83@icloud.com. We'll try to get them answered in our next meeting.
