What: BEYOND THE BITS with Shelly Moore of Quilt Stitching by Shelly & L&P Collective

When: March 15, 2025  9 AM- 1 PM 

Where: Butterworth Education Center, Moline, IL

SEATS ARE LIMITED TO 35 ATTENDEES. 

Shelly will be the presenter/lecturer at the MVQG March 4, 2025, General Guild Meeting and because she is a MVQG member, is providing an opportunity, and challenge, for both longarmers and piecers to think Beyond the Bits. MVQG meeting information is provided below (scroll down to next section). 

BEYOND THE BITS

Expect fun interaction and outside-the-box thinking for longarmers AND piecers. This is not a "typical sit-and-sew" and attendees should think of it as a hybrid workshop-class event. We're going to have fun while gaining a clearer understanding of how closely tied piecing and longarming (quilting) truly are and do so using your quilt items and questions. 

Attendees, please bring one or two items from these examples: 

· a finished or unfinished quilt (e.g. flimsy, quilt top, especially if there's something about you've always wondered about), 

· completed or partially-completed blocks, 

· cut pieces that haven’t yet been pieced, 

· something found (e.g. flimsy purchased at a re-sale shop, quilt from a yard sale or inherited), 

· your first project or most recent, 

· a quilt you dislike or one you love (be willing to share why), 

· quilted yardage for unfinished projects such as bags, totes or clothing,

· appliqued or embroidered quilt tops (quilted or or unfinished)

· if you’re a longarmer, share a project’s quilting/design, or a favorite panto (and why), or a favorite type of quilting (e.g. traditional, modern) and why,

· …whatever tickles your fancy. 

We’ll also discuss challenges longarmers encounter and the resulting decisions so the end-product (your quilt) is the best it can be. Which is unique to all of us (as piecers). 

Shelly is going to tie it all together to the longarming process. We're going to cover a lot and when the workshop concludes, you'll walk away thinking BEYOND THE BITS. :-)

Shelly will also spend a few minutes sharing how the L&P Collective can be a useful and reliable resource for our quilting journey. 

Let’s get to it and go Beyond the Bits. GROWTH OCCURS OUTSIDE OUR COMFORT ZONE.
