Our first workshop for the year

is all about you!

If you need just a couple of hours of peace and quiet to get the binding or sleeve done for your entry to the Joy of Quilts, come on by the Trini Mendenhall Community Center, 1414 Wirt Rd, between the hours of 10 and 3 on Wednesday, January 18, 2023. The company of fellow quilters always seems to make the work go much better.

You can work on any project; it doesn’t have to be for the show.

If you are submitting a quilt for the auction, you can turn it in here – Mary Van Speybroeck will be there to accept them and give you a tax donation form.

Be sure to bring your supplies, a sack lunch, beverage with a lid and a Joyful mindset. We might have cookies to share.

See you there,

Dangerous Curves

With Ricki Selva

9a.m.-3p.m.

Trini Mendenhall

1414 Wirt Road/Houston, TX 77055

This is a workshop in two parts. To begin with, quilters will master the skill of sewing a curved seam on the sewing machine to yield a flat block with a smooth, graceful appearance by working with the traditional Drunkard’s Path block.

In the second part, we will enter the dangerous world of piecing without templates.

“Sixty-Thirty”

Explore the possibilities offered by complex textiles while demystifying the nature of symmetry. Students will learn to draft perfect angles and sew dissimilar angles together.

This product and process class is extremely satisfying and engaging, culminating in the creation of a unique and fabulous kaleidoscope block. Often effects more wonderful than you imagine occur, making you both the one who makes the magic and the one who is surprised.
