  Amish Inspired Quilts For Today

  
  

  Noted quilt designer Carl Hentsch has always admired Amish quilts and quilters.  Living only a short distance from an "old order" Amish community has allowed him to explore their world and come to know and respect some of these quilters and their ability to create beautiful quilts without the use of electricity. 

  Join us as he explores their use of color and design using modern fabrics and techniques based on a "6-color" color wheel with various tints and shades used to enhance his designs.

  Meeting will be IN PERSON with Carl joining us via ZOOM for his presentation.  Meeting will also be LIVE-STREAMED.  

  About Carl Hentsch

  My interest in crafting began at the age of 6 when I made my first quilt (with my mother's help) for my niece who was about to be born.  It was not a patchwork quilt, but was hand-embroidered.  At age 12, I was beginning to design dresses for her.  In the mid to late 90's I discovered HGTV and Alex Anderson, as well as PBS and Eleanor Burns.  After seeing Eleanor's son on the show and saw that he was quilting, I began to think "guys can do this too!"  After several attempts, I completed my first quilt and still have that quilt today.  Upon moving to Missouri in 2006, I rediscovered my love of quilting, found wonderful quilt shops, and the rest is history.

  

  Since then, I have published a book after appearing at the AQS show in Knoxville, and created a quilt for the 2010 Hoffman Challenge which made one of the traveling trunk shows and was displayed at the International Quilt Market in Houston.  After receiving many requests for my patterns, I created my pattern company "3 Dog Design".

   Join us for our December Holiday Celebration!

  Celebrate the Holidays and the end of another year at our December dinner and Holiday Social.  This event will be held in person at Our Father as well as live-streamed for those who are unable to attend in person.

  We will begin the evening with a Potluck dinner.  Please bring a dish to share.  If you are not comfortable dining from an open buffet, please bring your own dinner.  Nathlia (Hospitality) will provide drinks and dessert.   Plates, napkins, cups, etc. will also be available.

  To celebrate the season of giving, we will be also be having a small gift exchange while seated at our tables.  This will be done by playing a short Holiday game to rotate the gifts around the table.  Please bring a bagged or wrapped small gift around $10 but not exceeding $15.  The gift must be new and unused.  Sewing notions would make ideal gifts and are things that everyone can use!  The item can be something practical or unique, fun or creative. 

  Here are a few suggestions:

  • Pins (straight, silk, fine, applique etc) or Needles (hand or machine)
  • Scissors or Clippers
  • Aurifil Thread (anything in a neutral color)
  • Seam Ripper, Rotary Cutter, Binding Clips, Ruler, Pin Holders, etc.
  • Storage Container for threads or fabric
  • Gift certificate from a local quilt store
  • Wrap a ribbon around a coordinating set of Fat Quarters

  The list is endless!

   Other festivities will include:

  • Installation of New Officers
  • Show 'n Tell Extravaganza
  • UFO Prize Winners

  We hope that you can join us as we celebrate another year of friendships, love, and in giving to others.

  Thank you for your continued support of ACQ this past year!
