How about asking members of your guild what they would like to attend? Another suggestion would be teaching how to corral your stash. Bring bits and pieces of leftover fabric and show how to cut it into strips, squares, etc., and how to label boxes to keep the stash under control. Quick quilts or projects to get the new year off to a good start. A workshop I actually did was on quilting notions. Hope this gets the creative juice flowing. Good luck.

Just today I was admiring someone's portable ironing surface that closes up with buttons to become a carrier for the iron. It has quilting fabric on one side and ironing board fabric on the other (so can put your iron in it without waiting for it to cool) and has handles. She learned it in a workshop and couldn't remember the name of the pattern. I'm sure that with some research, it can be found through Google. I just haven't had time to look--if I find it soon, will add the info to this thread.

So many good ideas. Lots of people have asked about Free Motion quilting here, maybe hints on that. Also thread painting for another. I actually started thread painting before I did much free motion quilting, and I think that helped me with do FM quilting better. Also in the same line, working with different threads such as metalics.

I would have someone demo have to do continuous prairie points or the double diamond ruler or the flying geese rulers or the proper way to hand stitch binding, or mitering corners for borders or hand-applique.....how's that? :)

Another thing is how to go from a patch and make the pattern or changing the size of the patch. Good luck :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

We had a mini workshop at my home a few years ago with 8-10 women. We explored how to make a stack and whack quilt. Each person was told to bring material (I forget how much because at that time we didn't know we needed 6 repeats) that we thought was too wild or busy for a regular quilt. It was totally amazing what came out of that class, including one of my favorite quilts.
