Workshops are held monthly, usually on a Saturday, with the exception of the months of September and December when there are no workshops. In recent months the Guild has offered workshops in Studio 180 techniques, machine quilting with templates, quilted clothing, and various methods for making scrap quilts. The workshop topics are varied so as to appeal to all levels of quilters. They are terrific fun! Lots of work getting done and lots of laughter! Upcoming workshop listings are in the Calendar section and include detailed information.
