Upcoming Programs

Karen Hill – Granny K Quilts
Specialty Rulers
Have you ever agonized over buying another ruler? Bought a ruler but never used it? Ever shy away from a great looking quilt pattern because the block seems too difficult? This lecture reviews various rulers and the blocks you can create more easily and accurately with each. My ‘Trunk Show” will help you decide which ruler to try first.
Quilting is one of my passions and I make time every day to enjoy it. I enjoy creating patterns, speaking at quilt guilds, and teaching others about quilting. My goals when lecturing or leading a class are to help others improve their quilting skills while inspiring them to try something new. I want every quilter to have as much fun as I do!
