June Guest Speaker

A warm GSLAQ welcome and Thank You goes out to our favorite Crazy Quilter!  Cathy Kizerian was gracious enough to accept our invitation to come and talk to us about crazy quilting. She told us about the history of crazy quilting and showed us a historical piece that she had. She also explained the design process and how to get started. she also offered kits for first timers.  Then Cathy proceed to wow the audience with some of her gorgeous award-winning purses and quite possible the best african inspired piece I have ever seen!  Thanks again Cathy.

June Meeting

The June meeting was wonderful! We had a pretty good attendance, with about 25 people there.  Pictures are posted below.


Lets start with the Block of the Month.  Jerrilyn not only did a fantastic demonstration on how to do it, she also  made a small quilt using the Block of the Month!  Wow Jerrilyn you are fantastic!

Thanks so much Jerrilyn!
