Next Meeting February 9th, 2026

 We have a great evening planned!

We have a guest speaker booked (in person at Brella)-- Berene Campbell

PRESENTATI0N TITLE: WELCOME TO MY PLAYGROUND!

Chasing joy through playfulness, in this talk Berene Campbell describes her approach to pattern design and how she finds happiness in quilting. 

Experimenting with scale (from teeny, tiny to giant), colour, texture, shapes, pattern repetition,
typography and dierent quilting techniques she has created her own style of inspirational, empowering and whimsical patterns. Embracing crazy ideas, not following the rules, and looking at “the usuals” from a dierent perspective, Berene seeks to amuse and entertain herself, as well as those who make her patterns. Quilting can be both our language of expression and a joy maker if we so choose.   

As usual, you may bring a guest along to the meeting. The fee is $5 for a guest to attend.

There will be Show 'n' Tell- please bring along anything you have to show.

If you are making a TRUE COLORS block, please bring it along to the meeting. It is due to be turned back in to Lisa S.

April 11th will be a workshop put on by Gloria. It is called "Scrap Happy" We are going to talk about using scraps, see some demos, and have a chance to do some sewing. We will talk about sorting and grouping fabric together, and get some great ideas for making scrappy quilts.  Each participant should bring a bunch of scraps and their sewing machine.  There will be a sign up sheet at the next Crescent Quilters meeting. This workshop will be $15 to attend. Gloria will be collecting money at the February and March Crescent Quilters' meetings. There is room for 10-12 people to attend.
