LMQG May Meeting Recap

Nancy Goff and Diane Wilson gave a great talk and visual demonstration of the Modern Element: Alternate Grids. Learned so many new things like Hierarchical! Lots of ideas on new ways to layout your blocks and quilts. Here are some of the images from the  presentation on various grid layouts.

Crafthouse owner Sonya Nelson and previous partner and founder Ally talked about the store and some of it's many products and services such as the Bloc Loc rulers and the ability to rent longarm time or have a quilt done by them. The store covers many areas of textiles such as garment making and yarn as well as quilting. They have classes and free time sessions to work on whatever you choose.
