Calico Cut-Ups
The Calico Cut-Ups Quilt Guild will meet at 1 p.m. March 25 in Sengel Hall at St. Theodore's Episcopal Church, 1001 Kingsland Road in Bella Vista.
The program will be presented by Denise Stahl (The Curious Kansas Quilter). Stahl will share her trunk show: "50 States/50 Quilts." Stahl comes from Lawrence, Kan., and her journey to quilting was about as far as the distance between Germany, where she was stationed, and Kansas, where she lives now.
After 16 years in the U.S. Army, 17 years at the University of Kansas studying and working in the field of families of children with disabilities, years of cross stitch, knitting, weaving and beading, she finally arrived at quilting. She calls herself the Curious Kansas Quilter because she's never met a technique she won't try at least once. She also has a tough time passing up new patterns, BOM and workshops. Currently she teaches various quilting classes in person and virtually and spends as much time quilting as her family, housework, reading, and traveling will allow.
On March 26 Stahl will provide a half-day workshop featuring the delightful Carolina Dogwoods pattern designed by Annette Ornelas with Southwind Designs. Workshop fee is $30.
