Workshop General Information/Locations
Workshops are held at the Norman P Murray Community Center Juniper room, 24932 Veterans Way Mission Viejo. Workshops run from 10:00 AM -4:00PM. Please arrive at least 15, but no more than 30 minutes early to set up your workspace. After the workshop chair helps the speaker and sets up the classroom, she will be happy to help you if you need assistance.
Remember to bring your lunch/drink/snack for the LIMITED lunch break time.
Workshops registration starts approximately 3 months before the workshop date. Only BCQG members can sign up during the first month. Everyone is welcome after that. The online registration system is not available on the guild meeting date. It will reopen soon after. (You can email Margaret Gordon for workshop status). See workshop description for more specifics.
Workshop Fees are usually $30 per day. Workshop description in the newsletter includes additional material/supply fees due to speaker.
You may cancel and receive a refund if you let the workshop chair (Margaret Gordon) know by email at least 45 days before the workshop. After that time, you will only be refunded if there is a person to fill your spot from the waiting list. We will issue a refund check after payment is received from the replacement for your spot.
June 9, 2023 - Anna Maria Horner
is a celebration of nurturing, protecting and showing off cherished blooms whether your garden exists outdoors, in your sewing room, or both.
A rhythmic pattern of simple but interesting 12” patchwork blocks hold the background steady and ready for little explosions of applique flowers that swirl
around a center “reserve garden” of blooms. Clever and close color tones help to create a lovely canvas for more graphic solids and complimentary vignettes.
The repetition of the outer four panels, that swim around the center makes the quilt building process quite direct once you make your early fabric choices.
Reserve Garden Quilt PDF Pattern provided to class participants.
Use the Moonbeam Acrylic ($58) and Mylar ($22) Templates for extra cutting and applique help!
September 15, 2023 - Libby Williamson
Collage Magic
Create gorgeous, magical collages with hand-painted fabrics, canvas, and machine stitching. A stash of luscious fabrics (pre-painted by Libby) will be provided for your use. Arrange pieces of fabric onto background canvas to create the design of your choice. You are free to create your own images since we will not be working directly from patterns, but Libby will help with your ideas and can help draw your designs. The addition of free-motion stitching brings these collages to life. If you prefer, simple designs can be stitched with regular straight stitching or hand sewing rather than by free-motion stitching. The artworks will then be made into journal covers or finished as art for the wall.
We will provide more information on kits or additional costs when available.
Registration opens June 3 at 7:00AM via email to Margaret Gordon. Online registration opens June 4th.
