Crazy Kind of Day at the Syracuse Quilt Guild

By crazy, I mean, lots of fun.  There was so much good information shared and a fun demonstration on Crazy Quilts by Margo.

Sandra caught us up on all the doings of the Utah State Quilt Guild.  Upcoming events include the Brigham City Museum Vintage Quilt Show starting January 20 - April 3, 2018.  The UHQS, Utah Home Quilting and Sewing Marketplace (formerly HQMS) takes place in May, All members of the State Guild get a 10% discount on entrance and class fees so you may want to get your membership dues paid up.  The deadline for entering the UFO challenge has been extended until February 28, so there is still time to take part in all the fun.  As always, you can get lots of information on these and other doings at the Utah Quilt Guild.  

Margo opens the meeting and tells us all about the fun activities she has planned for the year including several fun road trips and lots of great projects and guest speakers.  We can all be looking forward to a great year.  The schedule will be posted on the agenda to your right on the blog.  We also have a tips and tricks page that may surprise you. 

Sandra shows this pretty crazy quilt in a box full of family memories.  What a treasure.

 Crazy Quilts

Margo gave a presentation on making crazy quilts which are made with any fabric choice and in various sizes and cuts of fabric.  They may be made by sewing crazy pieces to a foundation fabric of lightweight muslin or you may choose to sew the pieces together without a foundation.  If the fabrics you are using fray easily or stretch, you may want to use the foundation method or use a lightweight fusible interfacing.
