We are having a Quilt Festival! This event will take place at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Mt. Kisco on Friday, October 9th and Saturday, October 10th (10am-4pm), nominal $5 admission fee.Our goal is 80 quilts, only one quilt per member. We would prefer quilts no wider than 40” because the number of larger quilts (maximum size 90” x 90”) we can accommodate is limited. Note: quilts displayed at the Festival may still be displayed and judged at any future NSQG quilt show. Register your quilt – click HERE.Quilt Dropoff for those with registered quilts is Oct. 3rd at theNorth Salem Volunteer Ambulance Corps, 14 Daniel Rd, North Salem, NY. We have a Quilt Festival Committee but we need volunteers! Volunteers are needed to help with set-up on Thursday, October 8th, with take-down at the end of the Festival on Saturday, and with various sitting jobs during the Festival days. Contact Nancy Mirman, 914-329-5290, [email protected] to volunteer.We have a beautiful venue to show off our beautiful quilts!So while we are not having our World of Quilts Show this year, we are very excited to be having a FESTIVAL to celebrate our creations.We will be displaying our quilts in the lovely Parish Hall at the Church. There will be a special guild Raffle Quilt as well as throw quilts and mini-quilts (directions below) for sale. Viewers Choice Awards will be given and member docents will be available to talk about the quilts and various quilting techniques.

LECTURE: Backing, Binding, Batting, Beauty Thurs. 01.21.2027 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm ET via Zoom Lecture: Backing, Binding, Batting, Beauty: designing a quilt from back to front Presenter: David Owen Hastings Learn how convenient and smart it is to design and construct a modern quilt, starting from the back! 1 hour + Q&A: With a little thought and pre-planning, the steps to making a quilt can be much more efficient, saving the best parts for last. This lecture comes with a downloadable handout, helpful for planning your next modern quilt. BACKING: Build your backing first, after deciding on the overall dimensions of the finished product. Make sure to include a quilt label, stitched in place! BINDING: Create your binding strips second. Regardless of binding style, it saves time in the end to have the binding prepped and ready to go. BATTING: Have you considered using your batting, on top of the backing, as a foundation? This is a great way to quickly build up a quilt, anchoring the elements as you go. Learn how to prep and mark your batting for quick assembly. BEAUTY: Finally, enjoy piecing and building a beautiful modern quilt top as a last step, quilting as you go. Get the tedium out of the way while planning your design. ABOUT DAVID David Owen Hastings is a modern quilter, graphic designer, and textile artist living in the Pacific Northwest.
