Brita Nelson: "The Questioning Quilter"

Fil-Tec
Our guild was privileged to get a behind the scenes tour of the plant in Waynesboro, PA, who make Glide and Affinity threads, pre-wound bobbins, Cue candles, and more.
Challenge
Some of the results of our annual challenge, presented at our 2023 picnic. Last year, participants were given a 5-inch square of fabric from which to design an 18-inch appliqué quilt. The picnic also included great food, show and tell, games, and tons of fun, as always!
Heritage Frederick
Guild members and friends enjoyed a private museum tour of the excellent exhibit called "Stitches Through Time: Women's Work from Farm to Fashion."
Floral Wreath
Ribbon flowers were abloom around the room in a workshop, "Floral Wreath," by Teri and Kara of Through the Needle's Eye. Participants created roses, pansies, and more.
Holiday Party
Great food, fellowship, and fun! The cutest place setting ever even had pre-dinner snacks. We enjoyed singing, show and tell, door prizes, and gifts. And we collected 118 nonperishable food items for the local food bank. A fun time was had by all!
