Kitchen Sink Quilting with Maria Shell

NJMQG would like to invite you to sign up for a virtual workshop with Maria Shell. We will join her on zoom for this fun workshop using leftovers and extras found in your sewing room to create a unique improv quilt. This is a 6 hour workshop split into two days. When you sign up, you are signing up for BOTH days, at one cost. The workshop will be held on October 9 and 16, 1-4 pm EST.

KITCHEN SINK QUILTING–The ART of Making Do
All leftover fabric, UFO’S, orphan blocks, and random strips of fabric are welcome in this class. We’ll take those pieces of what not and make them into a fun improvisational masterpieces. The focus of this workshop is on bit making (creating small improvisation-ally cut and pieced traditional quilt blocks) and composition.

This workshop is full. Please contact programs@njmqg.com to be put on a waiting list.
