&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enthusiastic quilters are meeting in person at the Albany Church!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just pop in at the Albany church between 9 am to 3 pm. on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.&amp;nbsp; You will be required to sign in at the door, just in case we need to do any Covid contact tracing. Masks are now optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;The EBHQ&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;Lending Library&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;&amp;nbsp;is located on&amp;nbsp;the second floor of the Albany church.

You can sit in an airy, light-filled room to browse through books, or check them out for home use.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Table&lt;/strong&gt;: Bring fabric of any size to give away at the free table. Donated fabric must be clean and useable (no faded, stained, or smelly fabric, thanks). Scraps should be large enough for applique and piecing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quilt design challenges have a unique way of getting creative juices flowing! From QuiltCon’s annual fabric and community outreach challenges to the color of the year, there’s something for everyone, and I have trouble saying “no” to any of them. In this lecture, I will share my approach to challenges, tips and tricks for dealing with everything from tricky fabric to tight deadlines, and how lessons learned from challenges can improve your whole quilting practice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;This lecture &lt;u&gt;will&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;not&lt;/u&gt; be recorded.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Table&lt;/strong&gt;: Bring fabric of any size to give away at the free table. Donated fabric must be clean and useable (no faded, stained, or smelly fabric, thanks). Scraps should be large enough for applique and piecing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ribbons is an advanced beginner pattern that provides a gentle introduction to curved piecing with the quarter circle/drunkard’s path block.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this class we will walk through the pattern and construction of the quilt, consider fabric selection to highlight the ribbon motif, discuss tips and tricks for curved piecing, cut fabrics using templates, and start constructing the quilt. We’ll also talk about different quilting motifs that work well with this design. Most students can expect to finish several blocks to a whole row, and will leave fully prepared to finish the quilt at home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Josef Albers, the great artist/educator of the 20th Century, acknowledged how tricky colors can be. In his words, “Colors deceive continuously.” As artists, how do we navigate this world of deception? Luckily, by using a few simple rules, we can predict how color will try to deceive us and thereby increase our color confidence. In this lecture, MJ Kinman, maker of giant gem quilts, will share four rules of color interaction and show you how to apply them to your own quilt design to create dramatic effects – regardless of your subject matter. For example, MJ will show you how to&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;: • Add sparkle (“bling”!) to your quilts&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;. • Create dramatic focal points&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;.• Add exciting visual movement&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;• Make your quilts glow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;• Create powerful transparencies&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;. • Alter the appearance of a color simply by pairing with another color&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;. • Create the illusion of metal surfaces without using metallic fabric or thread.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This lecture &lt;u&gt;will&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;be recorded.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.ebhq.org/resources/Documents/Activities/2022%20Activities/2022%20Open%20Quilting/Paulas%20Open%20Quilt%20June%202022%201.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="141.75" height="189"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enthusiastic quilters are meeting in person at the Albany Church!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just pop in at the Albany church between 9 am to 1 pm. on the 4th Wednesday of every month. Bring a bag lunch.&amp;nbsp; You will be required to sign in at the door, just in case we need to do any Covid contact tracing. Masks are now optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;The EBHQ&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;Lending Library&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;&amp;nbsp;is located on&amp;nbsp;the second floor of the Albany church. Our quilting books can&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;&amp;nbsp;be accessed during all Open Quilting hours. You can sit in an airy, light-filled room to browse through books, or check them out for home use. Read about the Lending Library&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ebhq.org/page-18403"&gt;&lt;font color="#196AD4"&gt;here&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Table&lt;/strong&gt;: Bring fabric of any size to give away at the free table. Donated fabric must be clean and useable (no faded, stained, or smelly fabric, thanks). Scraps should be large enough for applique and piecing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Read about the revised features of Open Quilting&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="https://www.ebhq.org/page-18381" target="_blank" class="linkAlternative"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MJ Kinman, maker of giant gem quilts, will show you how to create sparkling gem blocks using the design and piecing techniques she relies on to create her signature quilts. During this fast-paced class, students will create their own singularly beautiful work of faceted light.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MJ is quick to point out that this technique is NOT foundation paper piecing. There’s no sewing to paper or tearing paper out of the back of your quilt block when finished. Instead, this is traditional piecing using freezer paper as your templates. If you can put two pieces of fabric, right sides together, with a quarter-inch seam allowance, you can do this!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over the course of a single day-long session, students will learn how to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create a freezer paper pattern.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Understand how different types of fabrics impact the flow of light and color across their design.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#FF00FF"&gt;Potlucks happening now on Tuesday!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enthusiastic quilters are meeting in person at the Albany Church!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just pop in at the Albany church between 9 am to 3 pm. on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.&amp;nbsp; You will be required to sign in at the door, just in case we need to do any Covid contact tracing. Masks are now optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;The EBHQ&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;Lending Library&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;&amp;nbsp;is located on&amp;nbsp;the second floor of the Albany church.

You can sit in an airy, light-filled room to browse through books, or check them out for home use. Read about the Lending Library&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ebhq.org/page-18403"&gt;&lt;font color="#196AD4"&gt;here&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D2228"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free Table&lt;/strong&gt;: Bring fabric of any size to give away at the free table. Donated fabric must be clean and useable (no faded, stained, or smelly fabric, thanks). Scraps should be large enough for applique and piecing.&lt;/p&gt;
