Guild presentation
For the next three years, my friend Elizabeth and I are program co-chairs for our guild, Kenmore Quilters. We have put a lot of time in beforehand, and we started our first program last Monday. We decided that people are not sure how to find something they are inspired by and draft a pattern to make it theirs and to figure the yardage. Elizabeth and I combed the internet looking for worksheets to record and help, but what we found, even to buy, was not real helpful. So, we designed a whole set of sheets and copied them for our members. The presentation started with an inspiration photo, then graph paper, then the same block done in three sizes to make 3 quilts. We will be following these up with more design exercises.

Sounds like a good idea. I use graph paper to design most of my quilts.
Such a cool idea!! Will you be doing all the presentations yourself or just to get thevyear started?
What a great design plan. I like that you came up with a plan and thought about what members needed. Great job.
I bet the guild members are really enjoying this.
Sounds like a VERY interesting presentation. REALLY like that single block quilt!!
Graph paper - it may be old-fashioned - but it works. You can see a photo - sketch it out - and make it "yours" in any size you want. Who needs a pattern? - LOL - ;))
You are going to be a wonderful co-program chair! What a wonderful, insightful program you presented!
We are so lucky to have Linda and Elizabeth as our program chairs this time. The first presentation was fabulous and I'm sure the rest of them will be as well.
Great progress! i like your design.
