Only a month and a half old and 700 Members Strong

 We welcome quiltnforfun our 700 member of the guild!  Quiltnforfun is from the great state of Alabama.  The eve of St Patrics Day week end. March 14, 2008.  If you know any Bad Girls... Tell them about the Guild!

For hundreds of years, women all over this planet have been sewing quilts to keep their family members warm. And for all of these centuries, women had to do all the work "by hand" ... meaning their production was severely limited by the large numbers of hours required to design and sew the quilt by hand.

Today, though, we can use software to do much of the tedious work for us. Modern software takes much of the tedious work out of designing a quilt and it even streamlines the cutting process. If you also own a quilting machine, the bulk of the labor can be handled by machines, without sacrificing the quilt maker's pride and creativity.

To tell you the truth, I had not really thought much about the question prior to last week. Long ago, I took a quilting class, and the teacher told us to arrive at class with our fabric already washed and ready to cut.

Over the last few months the Bad Girls Guild has traveled the world!  We now have Bad Girls in 35 Countries/Territories including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Indonesia, Norway, Israel, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, and Denmark just to name a few. 

Like all guilds we need some trunk shows and some members who would like to talk about their quilts, new techniques, sewing machines, etc.. 

If you would like to be one of these participants, please contact me Jodowd@badgirlsguild.  Send us your story and our staff of Bad Girls will look it over and add it to the home page.
