April Meeting Recap

 April Meeting Recap

    We had such a wonderful meeting this month! We met on April 5th at the Westside Community Center! Our presentation speaker was Katie Pedersen from Sew Katie Did! She flew in from Seattle to teach a workshop on her Psychedelic Baby Quilt and then joined us at the meeting for a very informative slide show and truck show! It was such a blast to learn about her quilting process as well as see her beautiful works of art!

June Workshop with Jacquie Gering

Jacquie Gering WALK 2.0 Expanding Your Quilting Design Toolbox Workshop

    Join author Jacquie Gering for WALK 2.0 Expanding your Quilting Design Toolbox Workshop. This class does NOT cover the basics that are taught in the CQWWF class. Students jump right into more advanced designs that are in the WALK 2.0 book. This class is NOT for beginning walking foot quilters. Designs include a sampling from each of the chapters in the new book including rotational designs, sashiko inspired designs, designs based on the 60 degree grid as well as variations of designs from WALK. Designs taught in this class are more complex, intricate and challenging.

June 8, 2022 (Wednesday) Time - 9:30am-4:00pm Place - Celtic Quilter - 5080 S. 108th Street Cost - $75 OMQG Members, $95 non members (non members also can come to OMQG meeting for the trunk show on June 7th) **Lunch is NOT included**
