Sew In and Workshop Updates

Charity Chair

For the safety and health of everyone during this time and to limit the spread of the Coronavirus, we have decided to cancel the sew-ins scheduled for the rest of this month.

We have also decided to postpone the Scaling Your Sampler workshop with Colleen Molen scheduled for next Saturday to a later date to be determined. We will let you know once a new date has been finalized.

At this moment, we are deciding whether or not to have our April meeting on Sunday, April 5th. We’ll see how things are progressing and update you with a decision once we get closer to that point.

Scaling Your Sampler Workshop

Charity Chair

For the health and safety of everyone and to limit the spread of the Coronavirus, we have decided to postpone this workshop to a later date. We are still working on scheduling this new date, but will post an update once we sort that out.

Member Colleen Molen will be presenting a workshop called “Scaling Your Sampler” on Saturday, March 21st at Quilt in a Day from 9:30am-3:30pm.

This workshop is a little bit of improv, a little bit of color theory, and a little bit of quilt math (but not enough math to be scary).

In this workshop, you will take a sampling of 12” blocks and learn to add interest to your sampler quilt by scaling your blocks up and down in size. You will then learn to set them improvisationally and take your sampler to the next level.

This workshop is $25 for members and is limited to 24 spots. Lunch is not included in the price of the workshop, so please plan to bring your own.

If more than 24 people sign up for the class, a waitlist will open up. Payment and form must be received in order to hold your space in the class. Fee is non-refundable, unless your spot can be filled from the waitlist. You must be a current member of SDMQG to sign up – if space allows, we may open the workshop to non-members.

Registration for this workshop is now open. If you’re interested in signing up for this workshop, please follow these steps:
