Ultraviolet Radial Workshop

NJMQG is excited to host Audrey Esarey of Cotton and Bourbon for her Ultraviolet Radial Workshop. This is a brand new pattern being released just before our workshop. Be the one of the first to learn this pattern from Audrey! She will teach us her techniques for foundation paper piecing and curved piecing. This is a great workshop to learn something new or brush up on your techniques. Our workshop will be held over zoom on April 2 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm EST. The cost of the workshop is $57 for NJMQG members and $67 for non-members. (Plus a $2.00/class PayPal fee). NJMQG members will have one week to sign up before the workshop will be opened to nonmembers. Sign ups close on March 26 or when all 20 spots are full. Please fill out this google form to hold your spot in the class. Then pay the workshop fee.

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.
