Our October speaker Debbie Breer owns Cotton Rhapsody Quilting in Assaria, Kansas.
Debbie has enjoyed designing and piecing quilts since her 4-H days. She enjoys quilting for others and will bring a few quilts (including a mystery quilt) for a short trunk show. The rest of her presentation will be an explanation of her technique of raw-edge applique using a longarm machine. Debbie will be showing samples of how to do her technique. It’s fun and easy!

Jolene is the owner of Quiltin4Fun located in Wichita, KS, an internet only business that grew out of her love for longarm quilting. A past KLQ board member, this is her second trip speaking to our guild about Threads and Tension. A self-professed “just for me” quilter on a KenQuilt Royal (no longer taking on longarm quilting orders for customers), Jolene loves longarm quilting and sharing her knowledge with others.
Visit the Quiltin4Fun web site for the best quilting threads, pantographs, and other quilting necessities at great prices with old fashioned customer service. As a KenQuilt owner, Quiltin4Fun carries some of the parts for the KenQuilt machines and will work to get parts not kept in stock.
There were so many quilts for Show & Share this month, so be sure to check out all the photos on the gallery page (link above).
A few members also brought some Show & Share!
