Great Alaska Quilt Show Poster

June 15 Show and Tell

For our June 15 program, long-arm quilter Julie Lucht gave a slide presentation to explain the long-arm quilting business and to educate us about problems which might arise with our pieced tops that can add more expense to the long-arm quilters charges. Julie stressed different ways to press seams, the process for squaring up quilt tops, and the preferred size of quilt backing.

Rena introduced Julie Lucht.

Julie presented a slide show about long-arm quilting.

Darlene helped Lois hold up a top Lois bought at an estate sale.

Lois also bought this top at the estate sale.
