Cindy Needham
June 11, 2009
On Thursday, June 11, 2009, we welcome Cindy Needham to our general guild meeting as our guest speaker. Cindy has been quilting for over 35 years. She spent the first 25 of them quilting by hand and has since incorporated the use of the machine to quilt her quilts. She left her full time job in the medical profession to speak and teach for Superior Threads. She designs stencils for Quilting Creations Inc. and whole cloth designs for Golden Threads. She has written a book entitled Wholecloth Linen Quilts which was released in 2008. Cindy has taught at Houston International Quilt Show, Road to California, Asilomar and Sister Quilt Show. She has had a feature on The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.
WORKSHOP: We now have the opportunity for Cindy to teach us on Saturday, June 13 2009. This workshop entitled “Open Thread Bar” will answer all those questions about what thread and what design do I use on my quilt. Please join us at University of Phoenix 1220 West Ave J, Lancaster at 9am. The cost of the workshop is $25 payable to AVQA. Please call Peggy Vachon @ 940.8789 for more info and to sign up.
NEXT MONTH: Lyn Mann - The Best Little Quilt Show in Town
