WORKSHOPS

On the 4th and 5th Tuesdays of the month we put together study groups & workshops to learn new techniques, patterns, or handmade items for our Quilt Show boutique. There is $5 fee to attend these workshops to defray prep costs.

Upcoming workshops:

August 22, 2017 -Twisty Thread Catchers - Carol D.
AND   Beaded Necklaces - Doreen M.

Due to the July workshop being cancelled, we will have two items to make for the quilt show boutique.
First will be a portable, collapsible thread catcher that Carol D. will show us how to make. She will provide a sewing machine and the plastic rings. You will need to bring a 10" x 14" piece of fabric for each thread catcher that you plan to make, thread to match your fabric, a hand sewing needle, and scissors. (only one seam needs to be sewn, so you don't have to bring your machine)
Second will be an easy to make necklace with beads that can be made of glass, plastic, wood, and fabric. Doreen will show you how to make them. Check back for a supply list.

August 29, 2017 - Silk scarf painting - Jo B.

Jo B. will be leading a workshop on painting silk scarves. It's fun and easy to do. You don't need to know how to draw or paint. Design ideas will be provided. There is a $5 charge for each scarf you want to make. If you have not signed up, sorry...it's too late because the scarves are being ordered now. Supplies to bring:
Masking tape
Freezer paper
Bic Mark-it pens or any acid free permanent markers
Optional: stencils for creating designs
Jo will provide the scarves and alcohol in spray bottles
(one roll of freezer paper was donated, but will not be enough)
We will also need 8-9 plastic table cloths. Let Jo know if you have one.
