OPENINGS IN QUILTERS WORKSHOP @ THE PORTAGE SENIOR CENTER: For all the details and to sign up, please go to https://klcq.org/guild-activities/#schedule. A little bit about the teacher: 

Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs will teach great technique on making the Grand Isle Pattern.Grand Isle pattern

She began quilting in 1989 when she made her first sampler quilt. Sewing a block a week quickly turned into sewing a block a day and sampler quilts and scrappy quilts became her all-consuming passion. “Quilting soothes my soul and has kept me sane many times over the years!” Her eclectic style is inspired by everything from color and texture to architecture and nature and she loves to share her passion speaking and teaching classes for quilt shops and guilds since 1999. Her designs have been seen in Quiltmania, Best Fat Quarter Quilts, Best Weekend Quilts and Quilts from Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks.

“My designs may look complicated but they are easily broken down into simple elements. I encourage quilters to see beyond the color and fabric in a quilt and to imagine the possibilities of the design – how to make it suit their individual style.”
