QUILT North meets on the second Monday of the month in September and on the first Monday of the month from October to June. There are no meetings in July and August.
A meeting will consist of a speaker, guild business, and “show and tell” by our members.
Beginning in April 2022, Quilt North’s monthly guild meetings will be hybrid. You will be able to attend a meeting in-person at the Shenendehowa United Methodist Church or virtually from home in real-time. We chose to embrace live streaming so all members near and far, mobile and homebound, fit as a fiddle or under the weather, can feel connected and participate.
Link for members will be emailed!

The doors of Venice beckon. Join Esterita in creating a dreamlike painted Venice Canal scene. This original technique utilizes fusible web to transfer painted imagery onto Organza. There is an emphasis on painting technique. If you are already a painter that’s great, if not, no worries-you will be! It’s almost like a coloring book. You can do it! This process is unlike any other monoprinting process, it is not a reverse process…what you paint or draw is what you get. This technique makes it a breeze to incorporate the written word and numbers into your imagery. This is a process at which anyone can master, you don’t have to be an artist to succeed with this fun and user-friendly technique. Free your creative muse with this new and innovative art form.
