FLORENCE, Wis. — The Wild Rivers Quilt Guild will have a meeting beginning at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 900 Central Ave., at the intersection of U.S. 2 and Highway 101 on the west end of Florence, Wis.

The program for the evening is titled, “Using Westalee Rulers for Free Motion Quilting on Domestic Sewing Machines,” presented by Kathy Clawson. For the past 24 years she has been piecing and free motion quilting her own work.

Initially, the need to learn to quilt her own creations was purely financial, but with time and education she began and fell in love with free motion quilting. Over the past four years Clawson has been taking classes and instruction in Westalee Templates and Rulers.

Teaching and ongoing education of her students is her passion and she is one of 11 Promoted Teachers worldwide. Each have shown a high level of understanding and knowledge on the Westalee Design quilting system and have gone through a training program to achieve this status.

The Westalee Ruler system can be used on most domestic sewing machines to complete quilts using more than 400 templates, rulers and tools.
