The May VancouverMQG will be a member’s spotlight and Trunk show with Laura Gates!!
Laura is a longarm quilter and has been a member of VMQG since 2016. She enjoys quilting on her Gammill machine in her home sewing room and over the past 5 years has learned so much about quilting in general, mainly from this wonderful community we’re all a part of.
Laura will sharing her longarm quilting process for some of the work she’s done on a few of her own quilts as well as quilts she’s stitched for others. Laura has gathered a photo gallery of quilts from some of our VMQG members plus a few from her collection that she had the pleasure of quilting.
Enjoy this trunk show of quilts in which she will highlight things to consider when you go to a longarmer including:
- What to ask when you contact a longarmer
- How to determine what style of quilting to stitch
- How to prepare your quilt top, backing and batting before you drop off a quilt
