Summer Salad and Silk Ribbons Retreat At Mary Jo's

Bring a salad to share! We are doing a silk ribbon embroidered needle case or if you want to just enjoy the company, bring your crazy quilt project.

For More details and map to the meeting location, see our meeting page!

Crazy Quilting (CQ) can be both an old-style Victorian art form and a modern type of fiber art where the bright color combinations and eye-catching embellishments are used. CQ can be done by hand, by machine, or both. Numerous types of needlework techniques can be used in the embellishment, including silk ribbon embroidery, Brazilian embroidery, goldwork embroidery, beaded stitches, and traditional embroidery stitches.

People who are attracted to CQ like lots of visual interest, have a large stash of sewing and embroidery-related items they're saving for some future project, enjoy learning new techniques, and often have several different projects underway at once.

Creativity and spontaneity are the marks of a crazy quilter. Are you one?

RMCQ holds monthly meetings that include short classes to learn new techniques, as well as beginners workshops for an introduction to CQ, and 1- and 2-day workshops with local, national, and international teachers. Come check us out!
