Come at noon, visit with friends and welcome our new members at our Social Hour, immediately before the Guild Membership Meeting, at the Palmetto Electric Co., Hilton Head Island.
PQG Membership Meeting – 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Showcase Hand Quilting
The July program will highlight four of Palmetto Quilt Guild’s hand quilters, featuring concurrent demonstrations by our members who hand quilt.
Hand quilting is very traditional, and probably every quilt you seen in a historical museum was quilted by hand. As machine quilting gains popularity, hand quilting is falling to the wayside. Join us and find out how hand quilting is done, plus tips and the favorite tools of the people who still find the time and patience to practice this vanishing talent.

Her work is very diverse, ranging from pictorial still lifes to modernist abstracts. Although Ellen primarily employs conventional fabrics, she also uses items like window screening and produce bags.

“A Quilted Journey Around the World”
My whole life has always revolved around photography, writing, painting, and sewing. These interests have fueled my passion for travel, teaching, and sharing my experiences with people around the world. I have taught throughout the USA, the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, and Italy. I believe language is never a barrier in the translation of quilts.
Linda Poole lives with her husband Ray Williams and Corgi pup Zoie near Milford, Pennsylvania, a beautiful region in the northeastern part of the state. Together they share the passion of discovering the gifts of nature while hiking trails that lead to creeks, brooks, rivers, and lakes. Ray can be found with his fishing pole in hand with Linda by his side clicking away with her camera
