Bee With Flowers 

with Michele Markey

Wednesday July 19, 2023

9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Trini Mendenhall

1414 Wirt Road/Houston, TX 77055


Many of you met Michele at the Joy of Quilts show and were wowed by her designs. She’s coming back to lead a workshop as an introduction to her fabric painting techniques, using various techniques. 

Here is the best part of this class: you just show up! 

No machine, no supplies to buy (and have the age old “now what do I do with this stuff?”) Although you might want to bring a small lamp if you find the lighting at Trini Mendenhall to be dim. 


Michele will provide the block and lend a coloring box full of her tools to use in class. You will learn several basic techniques on how to color on fabric as well as how to bling your block (if you so choose). When the class is done you will have a beautiful block to use in a quilt, pillow or on a bag! 


Workshop Fee $40 (includes kit and supplies)

Limited to 15 Attendees

Through the Looking Glass

with Dena Rosenberg

Saturday July 22, 2023

Time TBD

Trini Mendenhall

1414 Wirt Road/Houston, TX 77055


Dena will be lecturing at the Friday meeting, and we are excited to have her present a technique workshop.


  

This enchanting block features a beautiful white swan and peacock in the center of a papercut. Papercuts are a fun way of enhancing a focal fabric. Papercuts are a wonderful addition to an applique quilt. They are extremely versatile, they can be used not only as a block on their own, but as a frame to enhance a focal fabric. Not only will students learn how to stitch a papercut block, but while making this beautiful block, they will learn how to create their own papercuts when they come across fabrics on their own. Needle turn applique will be the technique taught in this class

Workshop Fee $40 (Kit $35 Please make a check payable to Dena Rosenberg)

Nova's Singer Featherweight Maintenance Workshop 

with Nova Montgomery

Friday August 18, 2023

9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (with an hour for lunch)

Steve Raddack Community Center

18650 Clay Road/Houston, TX 77084


We only have spaces for 11 attendees since we are sharing this workshop with the West Houston Quilter’s Guild 

In this workshop, participants will learn how to correctly disassemble, clean, and reassemble their beloved Featherweights. Yes, they will sew (and sew beautifully) when you are done!! There is MUCH more to maintenance than merely oiling the machine. This is a comprehensive workshop in which all aspects of routine mechanical maintenance are addressed - including motor, and foot controller.


Nova approaches this workshop from the perspective of a Featherweight user who wants to preserve and protect their machine, but does not have an intricate knowledge of the mechanical workings of the machine. She guides her students through correct maintenance while educating them about their wonderful machines. Nova not only teaches her students the "What" and "How", but also the "Why" of each step of proper maintenance.


Workshop Fee $100

Only 11 Attendees from QGGH

Payment must be by check
