Sarah Yetman of Spooled Rotten Quilts operates a small longarm business out of her home in Brantford, ON. Sarah completed her first quilt in 2009 and realized she was hooked! After domestic quilting for six years for herself she decided to take the leap and dove into the world of longarm quilting. Quilting full time has been a dream come true for Sarah. Spooled Rotten Quilts has grown from edge 2 edge services to longarm education through Buy the Bolt in Guelph. Recently Sarah’s artistic endeavours have been spent developing digital designs for the longarm. Sarah’s full personal life includes raising a busy family of four with her supportive husband Randy. Her love of quilting has been contagious as she has inspired three of her children to make their own quilts. Quilting has been an incredibly rewarding journey that Sarah feels has just begun!
In her trunk show “For the Love of Quilting”, Sarah will share many of the quilts she has made from early inspiration to current quilting projects. She will also demo how she uses Procreate to help her create quilting designs and patterns. This software skips the constant erasing of a pencil on paper while developing your next exciting creation.
Feedback from the Spring 2025 Members’ survey had multiple requests to learn or make Log Cabin Blocks
As with many quilt blocks there are many layout possibilities from traditional to modern.
Over the next months, we plan to present the log cabin block and variations of it to make each month.
You can make one block or a group of blocks for placemats, table runners, pillows, insert into a garment, or a bag, or any size quilt
This is a great way to use scraps!
Gwynne McGahey will lead us in the “Making a Mini Traveller Sling Bag” Workshop.
This efficient crossbody sling bag will hold all the necessities in style! Zippered back pocket is perfect for your passport or phone, and cash and cards will be secure in the front zipper pocket. Front slip pocket is generous and held securely with a snap. Dimensions are 13″h x 6″ wide. Adjustable cross body strap fits most.
