We have 3 things happening on Saturday, January 3rd, thanks to our amazing members!

Demo of Thickened Dye Workshop with Sarah Butz

Visit Sarah Butz’s studio to learn more about the thickened dye workshop she took recently from Pat Pauly. “Five days of improvisational screen-printing fabric. My studio is all set up. People keep saying they would like to see what I am doing so maybe this is a good opportunity. I don’t think this is portable since it is messy, gooey and wet.” She is very excited about this technique, and this will be a great opportunity to peek at what Sarah’s up to! She’s offering two sessions. Please email her if you are interested and/or have questions. (sarahdesign@yahoo.com)

Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival

I’ll send a separate email about this soon, but don’t forget to let me know what you will display at MAQF 2026! I need the piece title, dimensions, and value by Friday, January 2nd. The title of our exhibit this year is “Make Mine Modern.”

I hope you’re enjoying some down time / sewing time / reading time!

Best,

Natalie
