Betty is one of the BNMQG’s founding members and is currently serving as our first Executive Director. 

Betty has been quilting since 1998 and she purchased her first long arm in 2008.  Betty quilts for herself and for others, including award-winning quilts. 

She will share many tips on how to Quilt Modern – this is for both domestic machine quilters and long arm quilters.  Whether you are planning to quilt a mini quilt or a bed sized quilt.  She will share techniques she has used including straight lines, curves, simple dot to dot quilting as well as the use of ghost blocks.

Our meeting is via zoom – check your email a day or so before the meeting for the zoom link. Can’t wait to see all of you!

The January meeting was called to order by president, Lisa B at 6 PM.  The meeting was held via Zoom, with 62 of 95 members present.  We will have at least 1 more Zoom meeting: February.  We will decide about March at a later date. 

Our presenter was Cindy Grisdela with a program that focused on the Anatomy of an Improv Quilt.  Cindy discussed her process and how sometimes projects need to be on the design wall for awhile to figure out what they really need to be. She also said it is ok to take things apart and re-use them. Her talk included many pictures of her award winning quilts. Her workshop on Saturday was on Curves and Stripes. It was a sold out class and we had lots of fun.
