need ideas for a mini workshop to teach my guild members
We are doing a mini workshop day at our March meeting. Other gals have signed up to teach binding, how to cut binding without sewing all the seams individually.
Whatcha got? I want to do something different. Last time, I taught crumb blocks. I will be teaching EPP as a 2 or 3 hour class in May. Thanks!! |
What about regular paper piecing or several ways to make flying geese? Or just look through QB and see what people are asking questions about - that might give you ideas.
|
Ooohhhhh Flying Geese! Great idea~
|
There is a YouTube video on staggered flying geese that are neat. I also tried Chester the bunny’s method of doing a Hunter’s Star block. She did hers out of scraps under the thread-Hunter Star and the method is on post #19.
|
How about getting the Quiltmaker 100 Block Magazine and make one of the blocks from it.
|
There is a great method for making 4 at a time FGs! The "no waste" method, Of course the 4 are all the same two colors, but how easy and exact!
|
Someone in our guild did a demo using selvedges and making into a little zipper pouch.
|
Organizing tips for the sewing room. The presentation was well-received at our local meeting.
|
How to sew on binding and join the ends in a diagonal seam. Make a small quilt for demonstration, or several which are at different stages of completion. There are two ways to do this, the traditional way and the "Magic Binding" way. If you google Magic Binding there's a Utube tutorial for it.

Got a couple of ideas, a demo on needles explain various needles,sizes, types, material (metal and others) and the why's, uses, and description of each. Second idea is demo on a variety of batting, fusibles, same presentation as above.
Last idea is DIY beaded stilettos, http://quiltville.blogspot.com has a great tutorial. Hope these help. |
