Cranberry Quilt Guild Springs into 2023

What do Cranberry Quilt Guild and Spring have in common? Many new ideas, programs and projects are blooming as the 2023 meetings dig in. Members old and new will gather on Monday, March 27, at Faith United CCC, on Airport Beltway in Hazle Township, with doors opening at 6 p.m.

Who would think ergonomics is involved in quilting? How about an auction of treasures big and small? Have you ever been hopelessly lost on color choices? What’s a fidget? All these and more interesting and fun topics area being planned for the group. This season of meetings will be a change up a bit, with tips being offered and shared monthly. We have finished our UFOs in the 2022 season, and new techniques are ever present on the quilting horizon.

Collage is becoming a popular form of art quilts, as beautifully arranged snips of fabric are applied to make unique and unimaginable portraits and still life representations. Show and tell this season promises to be as awe inspiring as ever.

Members will display their work for all to admire, share thoughts on the technique, and offer support to others. Quilts of all sizes, types and displays are brought in to meetings. The items presented are always a surprise, drawing much applause. Members take away new ideas and thoughts for future projects.

Quilt of Valor has offered a Block of the month option for its members. Many have shown interest. More information on this will be made available.

On Saturday March 18, National Quilting Day 2023 was celebrated. Members were encouraged to display a quilt on their porch or in a window, taking care for inclement weather. These beautiful spring days offer opportunities to display the fine art of quilting. Share a quilt, hang a quilt, can you find any in your neighborhood?

Quilt Shows are being held near and far for all to enjoy. The Lancaster Quilt show is being held March 29 through April 1. Details on upcoming Quilt show information can be found at www.quiltinghub.com , which is the Pennsylvania Quilt Show Directory.

To take care of others, you need to take care of your own health. Screening mammograms can find breast cancer in its earlier, most treatable stages. Make the time for your annual mammogram today – your loved ones will thank you tomorrow.
