Check with one of our retail affiliates to see if they have what you need. The yearly membership dues our affiliates pay help to support our guild and the good work we do. Workshops are from 9:00am to 4:00pm. The workshop space opens at 8:00am if you want to arrive early.   Supply List In this 2-day workshop with fiber artist and renowned teacher Denise Oyama Miller, you’ll use layers of fabric, paper, paint, and ephemera to create a fabulous mixed-media art quilt. Starting with a machine-quilted background made of batting, fabric, papers, and/or threads you’ll add layers of collaged papers and fabric. To make the work even more uniquely yours, add layers of painting, stenciling, and ephemera. You may enroll and pay by credit card by clicking here Traditional pieced units—Half-Square Triangles, Drunkard’s
Path, Triangle in a Square, and more—are the building blocks for this modern
alphabet sampler. Students may work towards the 26-block quilt (49" × 58") or a runner/banner spelling out a word or name. Full-color pattern ($16, payable in class) contains detailed cutting and piecing instructions for all 26 letters, complete alphabet quilt, and suggestions for runners or banners. We’ll cover all the main piecing techniques in the workshop so you’ll be able to finish the remaining blocks confidently. We’ll also look at color choices to create the translucent effects seen in the sample quilt.   Learn to take your quilting to new dimensions with trapunto,
using modern motifs that are more forgiving than traditional designs. The workshop project is a 16" square pillow cover, a manageable size for free-motion sewing as well as a fun home accent. Students may choose from two trapunto designs for their pillow (included in class fee). Familiarity with their own sewing machine and some free-motion quilting experience is necessary for all students. Many students finish their pillow during a full-day class!
