Calling all quilters, textile artists, and fabric enthusiasts! Our March meeting is just around the corner, and we have a very special guest joining us at Quilters by the Sea.

Whether you’re a master of the “quilt-as-you-go” method or you currently have a mountain of UFOs (UnFinished Objects) waiting for some love, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.


Meet Our Guest: Kitty Oliver

From Maker to Mentor: You be the Judge

We are thrilled to welcome Kitty Oliver to the stage. Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a quilt show? Or what exactly a judge is looking for when they examine those intricate seams?

Kitty will be sharing her personal evolution from a passionate quilt maker to a certified quilt judge. It’s an inside look at the artistry, the precision, and the heart that defines our craft from a whole new perspective.
