The ThimbleBelle Quilters are pleased to introduce a new activity for kids and a demonstration during the Shoreline Arts Festival, June 27 and 28. The group will be in a new location this year: they will have their amazing display of quilts in the Staff Lounge in the Conference Center. They are among the activities on the Passport, so look for them and get your stamp!

Quilting starts with color choices and shapes. Come enjoy coloring basic quilt block piecing designs, from the basic 9 patch design to a block using small squares and half square triangles. A good activity for all ages.

Painting on cotton fabric with acrylics, fabric paints, fabric pencils and mediums will be demonstrated by Elizabeth W. Pankey, an experienced freelance illustrator and designer. Demos will be both days at the festival: 2-3pm on Saturday and 1-2 on Sunday. They could run over an hour depending on our interest in the process. This is aimed at the teen to adult skill levels.

The sign for the quilt - is quilted!
