Quilt Guild to Host ‘Scared Straight’ Program for Quilters

Dr. Barb Shrout will be Colorado Valley Quilt Guild’s guest speaker for the upcoming “Divest, De-stress and De-clutter: A Scared Straight Program for Quilters” evening guild meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

Dr. Barb Shrout is both a retired Air Force Master Sergeant and retired Texas High School Administrator. She has been accumulating fabric, quilting tools, patterns, books and gadgets since 1990.

Hopefully, you will be scared straight into your sewing room where, armed with some practical advice, and helpful hints, you can throw caution to the wind and embrace a new life of minimalism and materialistic apathy. You might just develop a new appreciation for negative space. Join for Dr. Shrout’s motivational program as she talks about quilting equipment, things, junk, well you get the idea.

The Colorado Valley Quilt Guild meets the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Randolph Recreation Center, 653 East Pearl Street, Room A East, La Grange. Guild meetings begin at 6 p.m. on even months and 10 a.m. on odd months. Meetings are always open to the public, so grab a friend and come learn more about this wonderful service organization right here in La-Grange.
