January Event:

Sunday, January 29th
Noon until 4pm (or until we finish)
Holly's Quilt Cabin 8210 S. Holly, Centennial, CO, 80122

One of our members, Shari, has asked us to help out wildfire victims in Texas, click here for the blog post that describes the work she’s doing in detail. Shari, and the moderators of an online stitch group, Stitchmap have decided to launch a relief effort to try and help the people in Texas with needlework stash replacement.
At this January gathering, we're going to partner with Shari to put together drawstring bags to put sewing kits in to hand out. Holly’s Quilt Cabin has graciously offered to not only allow us to use their brand new large classroom but to help promote the event and put out a box/basket for donations in the store.
This event is open to anyone who wants to come stitch, chat and help. Email us for wish lists or to RSVP

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!
