“One of our challenges is we have to bring those in to finish.”ĭuring their time together and during their free time at home, the quilters work on various projects for members of the community. “We call them UFO’s for unfinished objects,” Karen Pinkelman, charity co-chairman of the group said. “We usually have a class or a technique that we talk about and we show our quilts that we are making or have made.”ĭuring their meetings, the group also receives challenges, like creating mystery quilts, hand quilting, and finishing the quilting projects that have been sitting in the back of their closets for years. “We meet together to continue quilting, to teach each other, and to learn new techniques,” Barbara Lay, president of the Tooele County Quilters said. The group meets on the third Tuesday of each month to work on their projects and discuss all things quilting. Now, 37 years later, they have more than 70 members. They began meeting in the basement of the Tooele County building and the group rapidly grew with many talented quilters. They called the group the “Tooele County Quilters,” placing themselves as a chapter under the Utah Quilt Guild. The group was formed in 1986 after a group of local women who were taking quilting classes in Salt Lake City donated one of their homemade quilts to a fundraiser by the Deseret Foundation, now known as the Intermountain Foundation.Īfter their quilt raised $2,050, the second highest amount in the auction, they decided to create a quilting group in Tooele to give back to the local community. The quilters have also made placemats, children’s balls, and bibs for the elderly. They have made quilts for veterans, the Tooele County Justice Center, the Harris Community Resource Center and Mountain West Medical Center. The Tooele County Quilters have been busy perfecting their blanket-making skills and donating quilts to members of the community since the mid 1980s.

This software is user friendly all you have to do is watch some of the tutorials they give by clicking the learn button. Interested in learning more? Click here or type in in your browser’s address bar. They also have free patterns to start with a template, and then you can audition a quilt in different colors, or you can rotate a block and audition the difference before one piece of fabric is cut or sewn. With a click of the mouse I changed the drunkards path blocks the opposite direction and then flip flopped the colors. Reminds me of bats and could easily be done in halloween colors. I played with this and was astounded in just 10 minutes I came up with this: In the very last part of the video she kindly gives info for a beta software run of a quilt design program. My motto….When there is a will, there is a way.

I was using this advice before the youtube video as I figured it out along the way. For those of you who have tremendous stashes, she gives very good advice. I came across this tidbit in this youtube video called “sew up your stash, by Karen Brown” of Just Get it Done Quilts. Undo buttons magically take you back one move….two moves….as many times as you want to go back to what satisfies. Software sometimes boggles my mind, but all software has an undo button. In my normal readings of all things quilt related I come across a freebie! At first glance I was a bit intimidated.
