Zoom Sew Day

Join us on Zoom for a relaxed day of quilting and chatting from your own sewing room!

You can join and leave anytime during the day, so don't feel you have to commit for the whole day if that is not an option. Find a neglected a project or a problem block and get motivated by your fellow quilters.

There is no fee for this event - just register on this page so we know how many to expect, and we have your email address to send you the link.  The link will be open from 9 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. E.S.T. on Saturday June 24, 2023.

Stepping Stones quilt - or - Cappuccino placements

Instructor: Sherida Giddings

Choose the size of project you'd prefer!  You  choose between two patterns - make Cappuccino (the placemats) or Stepping Stones (the full quilt).  Both patterns use the same unit; you will learn the same technique, so it is up to you which you would like to make.  

For All Skill Levels.

Important:  You will need the pattern ahead of time.  It can be purchased through Sherida, though it is preferred that it is bought at a local quilt shop.  If you would like to purchase through Sherida, please email workshops@ottawavalleyquiltersguild.org.  The price is $25 for Cappuccino, and $39 for Stepping Stones.  These patterns come with all the paper pieces you will need.

Join us for a Zoom workshop!  As Melissa  says, “You can turn any quilt pattern into a quilt-as-you-go”.   

Melissa will cover several quilt-as-you-go methods.  You will make samples of different ways to join pre-quilted sections, or to attached unquilted section to an already quilted one.  We will also look at patterns you have  and discuss which methods would be best suited to convert them into  quilt-as-you-go at home.

You will look at quilting differently, with this technique in your repertoire! 

Note:  Pre-class cutting and other preparation for your samples is required.

Temperature Quilts with Kim Caskey  --- NEW DATE!!

ZOOM WORKSHOP

Kim showed some amazing Temperature Quilts during her talk with us in March.  Now we'll learn how to do this ourselves.  We'll explore ways to document the temperature of each day using quilt blocks, to make  a quilt depicting variations over the year. 

Many, many variations of this unique quilt can be done – abnormal weather, special dates, how about noting your emotion of the day? Record days, weeks, or months.  Here comes the wonderful world of Temperature Quilts and you’ll want to start yours immediately!

This workshop will cover planning the project, creating a temperature gauge, and design and size of final quilt.  Between Parts we will have time to test a sample block, and purchase fabric, if required ... anybody need fabric???  Hahaha!

Note:  This workshop has 2 Parts, with one week between.
