Oakdale Quilters’ Guild

Greetings quilters.
Oakdale Quilters Guild will be having a class on August 17 at Blossom Quilting, 10am - 3pm. It will be the Athena pattern from Stipology Mixology 2 book taught by Ursula Sylvan. This quilt looks similar to the the hunter star but a bit different and a lot easier!
For the class you need the book, ruler, layer cake (or 10” squares from yardage) and 2 yards of background for 56x70 lap quilt and general sewing supplies.
Class is $30 for guild members and $45 for nonmembers. We still have room and would love to have you join us for this fun pattern.
Please contact Jessica Gookin if you want to be added to the list.

Happy Friday all!!

Tomorrow Local Quilt Shop Day. Celebrated the last Saturday in January.

We have 6 stores fairly close by. The two stores in Oakdale are Blossom Quilting and Lilly Pad Sewing.
There is one in Sonora Quails Nest. There are two more in Hilmar Cloth and Quilts and Quilters Cabin and one in Stockton Quilters’ Hallow.

I want to encourage everyone to stop in and check them out. If you or someone you know have thought about learning to quilt, have a quilter or seamstress in your life to get a gift for, or need a new pair of scissors. They have classes, sewing notions, patterns, books, machines, and of course Fabric!
If you are getting a gift for someone and don’t know what to get, gift certificates work great!

See you soon!!

Local Quilt Shop Day Get out your wallet — go and spoil a quilter you know at your local quilt shop.

There will be kits you can sew; bundles of tops, batting and backing ready for enveloping or quilting; other quilters working on philanthropy projects. You can work on kits and bundles there or take home and bring back to a future meeting.
We will be there for questions you may have about our guild, what we do, who we support and why we do it.
