How Should I Quilt That? - Whether quilting on a longarm or a domestic machine, we all struggle with the same thing….How do we decide how to quilt our quilts. Let’s get those quilt tops quilted!!!! Come and let me share my tips and tricks with you to help you in this process. This is a fun lecture that is just packed with great quilts!!! June 13, 2023 @ 7 pm on Zoom The program is free to paid members of Lakeside Quilting Guild. Cost is $5.00 for guests. Payment is accepted by Zelle to ldeg@uchicago.edu. Please make sure your e-mail address is on the Zelle payment so you receive the link to the program on Zoom. ![]() About Jane Hauprich : I am an award winning quilter and quilt instructor. I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I first started piecing quilts in 1998. I have learned a lot since that time and most likely have a lot more to learn. I have had a Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen and then upgraded to a Handi Quilter Avante. I now own a Handi Quilter Capri and a Handi Quilter Amara with ProStitcher. I specialize in free motion custom quilting. All of my custom quilting is free motion. While I do tend to use my ProStitcher for quilting edge to edge customer quilts. My love of free motion stems from loving the creative side of quilting and you will more than likely find me at my long arm more often than I am piecing quilts at my regular sewing machine anymore. My quilting philosophy is this……I believe that each quilt is special and deserves quilting that accentuates it’s beauty and uniqueness. I teach free-motion quilting classes using your home machines, mid-arms, or longarms. These classes enable quilters to finish their own quilts. In each level of classes (beginners, intermediate or advanced) I teach designs that include all over patterns, and designs that will fit into squares, triangles and sashings, so that when you are done with a class you will be able to quilt one of your own quilt tops using what you have learned in class. My virtual classes have been a huge success!! LQG will be at the Community Art Fair!
Come by our tent (near the entrance to the Bixler Playlot) to see our quilted handcrafts and displays. The Community Art Fair is located on the north side of 57th Street between Ray School and Kenwood, adjacent to the 57th Street Art Fair Art Fair Hours: Saturday, June 3, 2023 11:00 am - 6:00 pm Sunday, June 4, 2023 10:00 am - 5:00 pm Ever wonder - what would this quilt look like if I made it in another color way? If I used plaids and stripes instead of florals? Well, I can't tell you what EVERY quilt would look like, but we can explore some practical examples together! In a fun format, we will compare quilts made in florals versus batiks, reproduction fabrics versus crisp modern prints, brights versus pastels. Gather inspiration and insight into the choices for your next project!

This program will be virtual and free to members; guests ($5 cost) can also view the presentation. Guests should contact ldeg@uchicago.edu to arrange payment and obtain the link for the presentation. Julia Graves started her quilting business, Special Occasion Quilts LLC, in 2007 and teaches, lectures, designs patterns, makes commission quilts, longarms for others and sells & services APQS longarm machines. She won Best Longarm Machine Workmanship Wall Quilt Category at the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival, has had quilts published in books by Gloria Loughman, Katie Pasquini-Masupust and MJ Kinman, was an Artist in Residence at Empty Spools in 2019, and taught at Empty Spools Seminars and Hudson River Valley Art Workshops. Julia has been sewing since she was ten and always loved fabric, needle arts and the entire creative process. She did her apprenticeship as a quilter by making a quilt for each of her nieces and nephews (and thinks she should have counted them before making this promise – there were 32!). She has since made more quilts than she can count, many for charity, and is partial to scrap quilts and working with color to achieve amazing results.

Presented by Dana Jones You’ll be transported to a tiny island — just 13 acres — in the central Philippines as you enjoy images and stories of the colorful quilts and the more than 100 quiltmakers of Caohagan Island. You’ll see photos of more than 50 of these handmade, one-of-a-kind quilts plus be introduced to the unique techniques developed by these quiltmakers whose tools are simply fabric and scissors, needle and thread. I spent more than a month on the island, quilted with the residents, went fabric shopping with them on nearby Cebu Island, and snorkeled the reef that surrounds Caohagan. Those who view the quilts come away smiling, inspired by the creativity of these women and men. Tuesday, August 9, 2022 6:30-9PM CDT. Lecture starts at 7PM If you would like to attend this lecture, please contact lakeside_quilters@yahoo.com – The lecture is free to guild members and $5.00 for guests

Carole Lyles Shaw will be joining Lakeside Quilting Guild on Tuesday, April 12 at 7 pm for a lecture on what makes a modern quilt (pre-lecture gathering time starts at 6:30 pm).
Carole started teaching herself to quilt to make quilts for her wonderful nieces and nephews. She found her first quilting home with the African American Quilters of Baltimore, who gently taught her the best techniques to express her quilt vision. Today, she designs patterns to help beginning and experienced quilters confidently dive into modern quilting. she is excited about modern quilting because it is all about bringing individualism and free expression to the way we design and make quilts today. She hopes that her patterns will inspire you to find ways to let your own creative voice shine.
