Diane Knott – Butterfly Threads Quilting in Cumming, GA
Lecture & Trunk Show titled, Strip Quilt Secrets
Diane Knott is returning to our Guild to show you the possibilities in your own stash by cutting your scraps and yardage into strips. She will change the way you cut your strips plus five piecing techniques. She will show us the 15 quilts from her latest book plus some other favorites featured in magazines and “trunk show exclusives” not yet published. Get inspired to sew your stash! She is a favorite speaker! Come see why!

Masks are optional.
No food or drinks will be provided.
The door on the left side of the building will be locked; however, we will have someone stationed there to let people in from 9:30 until 10:05. If you arrive after that time you will need to enter through the door on the opposite side. (the side by the traffic light)
Show & Tell – Because we expect everyone will be anxious to show what they have been doing over the shut-down, we will enforce the two quilt limit for show & tell. We need to give everyone a chance to display their projects.
Free Table – The Free Table will be set up for you to share your treasures. At the end of the meeting, please take home any of your items that were not chosen.
GOT TICKETS?
The birthday table will be set up for our first time back together in two years! Raffle tickets are still a bargain (when everything else is rising in cost). Just $1 will get you four tickets. Time for us to gather and have a great time!
