Sandy Simmelink: Taking Stock
It’s important to not only do your best work, but know how to strategically plan what projects you will undertake in the future. This lecture is an inspiring look at Sandy’s journey and what she has learned along the way. She’ll provide insights, explain why “taking stock” of your situations is important, and will encourage students on their own quilting journey.
A recording of the presentation will be available for 14 days after the meeting.

Jo Avery: The 100 days project for Quilters
Initially used as a teaching aid by a graphic designer at Yale School of Art, over the last couple of decades The 100 Day Project has grown into a free online global art project with thousands of people participating from all over the world. The idea is simple: choose a creative project, do it every single day for 100 days and document and share your process online. In this informative talk Jo Avery will share the ways she has used the project in her textile art to create quilts and fabric books. She will also explore the approaches taken by many other quilters who have used The 100 Day Project to create a fascinating range of different projects. The talk will also offer hands on advice for anyone wanting to start their own 100 Day Project in 2026.Joint YHQG/TMQG Meeting
