Hosted by Wendy Mains

Welcome to the Zoom Surf and Turf sew along. If you have never done the stitch and flip block method, this will be a great activity to start it and get support along the way. The kick off meeting was September 24 and we talked about fabric and how to begin.

The group will meet once a month on a Wednesday evening.  It will mostly be the third Wednesday of the month with a few on the fourth.

Newcomers are welcome. Wendy will be working with the patterns, "Surf" - Going Coastal and/or "Turf" - Wonderful Woodland, created by Art East Quilt Co. Other patterns from Art East Quilt Co. or by Elizabeth Hartman that feature the stich and flip block method can also be used. 

You could check with your favourite local quilt shop, or contact Art East Quilt Co., which offers physical patterns, as well as digital patterns, and has a bundle deal for the two Surf & Turf options. https://arteastquiltingco.com/shop

All members are welcome to join us if you have purchased a suitable pattern. If you don't register, you can find the Zoom link for the sew along in the Members Only section under Zoom meetings. The benefit of registering is that you will automatically receive a reminder email containing the Zoom link one day before each session.

During this 1 hour session, we will discuss how you would like to see the club run and when you would like to meet. I will come with some suggestions, but I would like to see this club as a collaborative exercise.

There is no fee for this event - just register on this page so we know how many to expect, and we have your email address to send you the link.

Want some company while you're stitching in the ditch??

Our In-Town Retreat is a great opportunity to get together and sew!  Bring an unfinished project that you're working on or start something new and share your ideas and inspiration with others! You can set up your sewing equipment, leave at the end of each day and return to finish your project the following day. It is a retreat but you get to sleep in your own bed at night.  Your projects will be safely undisturbed until you return the next day.
