Michelle Howe

Lecture & Trunk Show
"Strive for Progress, Not Perfection"

Tuesday, July 9, 2024. 10:00am - 12:00pm

Gloria Dei Lutheran Church - Bankson Hall

At our July 9 guild meeting we welcome Surfside member Michelle Howe who's lecture topic is "Strive for Progress, Not Perfection. She will also be presenting a trunk show of the many quilts she has made throughout the years.

Michelle's quilting journey began in the late 90's, but her sewing skills go back to when she was 11 years old and making her own clothes. After a home economics class in the 6th grade taught her how to use a sewing machine and follow a clothing pattern, she continued to make most of her clothes through high school. (At that time, it was cheaper to make your own clothes rather than buy them.)

After attending a Night Owl Quilt Guild Auction in 1999, Michelle started back to sewing and making quilts instead of clothing. She has continued learning and experimenting with all types of quilting techniques and styles. Her quilts are reflective of her challenging herself to be creative rather than simply following the pattern. She likes to "color outside the lines."
